Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

Re-lookup a variable value when an associated VariableWatch is executed
in cmMakefile::GetDefinition.
This fixes a problem with 'def' sometimes becoming invalid due to memory
reallocation inside an std::vector. In this case, the problem was that
if the call to VariableAccessed actually executed a callback function,
the internal state of the makefile has changed due to the associated
function scope being pushed. This in turn implies that a new
cmDefinitions instance was pushed in cmMakefile::VarTree. As
cmLinkedTree is based on an std::vector, this push can have triggered
reallocation of its internal memory buffer. However, as the value of
'def', which was computed on method entry, actually points to a property
of one of the cmDefinitions instances in cmMakefile::VarTree,
reallocation can invalidate the value of 'def' so that it cannot simply
be returned at the end of the function. The solution implemented here is
to simply lookup the value of 'def' again.
The ALLOWED_UNKNOWN_VARIABLE_READ_ACCESS access type was switched on an
undocumented variable and its lookup caused an unnecessary performance
impact. Remove it.
Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
If a callback has the same data as another call, we don't want to delete
the old callback. This is because if the client_data is the same, it
might get deleted causing the new client_data to be bogus. Now, AddWatch
will return true if it will use the watch, false otherwise. Callers
should check the return value to know whether client_data was adopted by
the watch or not.
The client data is arbitrary and the callback may be called an
unspecified number of times, so the cmVariableWatch must be the one to
delete the client data in the end (if it is needed at all).
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
