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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Document these variables.
Change our convention for setting these variables from:
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT "...")
to
string(APPEND CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT " ...")
so that any value previously set by a toolchain file will be used.
Document these variables.
Change our convention for setting these variables from:
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT "...")
to

Automate the conversion with:
sed -i 's/set *(\(CMAKE_\(C\|CXX\|Fortran\|RC\|ASM\|${[^}]\+}\)_FLAGS\(_[^_]\+\)\?_INIT \+"\)/string(APPEND \1 /' \
Modules/Compiler/*.cmake Modules/Platform/*.cmake
and follow up with some manual fixes (e.g. to cases that already
meant to append). Also revert the automated changes to contexts
that are not protected from running multiple times.
Teach `Modules/Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake` not to use MSVC options
for Fortran. We use the `__windows_compiler_msvc` for the Intel
Fortran compiler on Windows for other settings, but we do not want
the flags.
Previously this worked only because the options were later overridden
by `Modules/Platform/Windows-Intel*.cmake`, but it is cleaner to not
set the options in the first place.
In commit v3.6.0-rc1~279^2~10 (VS: in Clang/C2 toolset, setup correct
compiler settings, 2016-02-18) a flag mapping was added for the clang
`-Os` flag. However, this collides with a mapping we already had for
the MSVC flag of the same name. This is a symptom of a larger problem
in that the VS generators need a per-toolset flag map (issue #16153).
For now, simply drop the new mapping and drop `-Os` from clang compiler
flags in the MinSizeRel configuration.

We define `NDEBUG` without a space after the `-D` option for most
compilers. Remove the space for MSVC (and Intel Fortran) for
consistency. The MS compiler technically does not document that
the `-D` argument may be separated from its value, though every
version to date supports it.
Set variables in the platform information modules to tell the Ninja
generator what deps type to use instead of hard-coding conditions in the
generator itself.
Classify .manifest sources separately, add dependencies on them, and
pass them to the MS manifest tool to merge with linker-generated
manifest files.

Add a helper class private to "cmcmd.cxx" to contain the implementation.
Update the link logic to use the intermediate files directory for each
target to hold manifest and resource files before embedding into the
binary. Preserve the old behavior of placing the .manifest file next
to the binary when not linking incrementally even though it will be
embedded.
Teach the Makefile and Ninja generators to substitute for an <INCLUDES>
placeholder instead of putting -I in <FLAGS>. Update our values for
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILE_OBJECT,
CMAKE_<LANG>_CREATE_ASSEMBLY_SOURCE, and
CMAKE_<LANG>_CREATE_PREPROCESSED_SOURCE
to place <INCLUDES> just before <FLAGS>.
Update our values for
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILE_OBJECT,
CMAKE_<LANG>_CREATE_ASSEMBLY_SOURCE, and
CMAKE_<LANG>_CREATE_PREPROCESSED_SOURCE
to place <DEFINES> before <FLAGS> consistently across supported
compilers. We already do this for most compilers, so update the rest
for consistency.

Create target property WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS to automatically
generate a module definition file from MS-compatible .obj files and give
it to the linker in order to export all symbols from the .dll part of a
SHARED library.
If a Windows resource (.rc) source file is included in a STATIC library,
the VS "link" tool will process the compiled ".res" file and needs to know
the target architecture. Without it, we may get a LNK4068 warning and
possibly a LNK1112 error. Add /machine: to the default static library
flags to give the link tool the information it needs.
Revert the refactoring by commit v2.8.11~105^2~1 (Ninja: use MinGW
generator code in EnableLanguage, 2013-03-09) and move the MinGW-
specific logic back to the "MinGW Makefiles" generator. Instead teach
the platform information modules for GNU and MSVC on Windows to set the
preferred RC compiler just before enabling the RC language. This way
we choose the RC compiler based on the C/C++ toolchain that is actually
enabled.
In Platform/Windows-MSVC the C and CXX flags are initialized to
contain preprocessor definitions describing the platform. On
WinCE platforms this may not be just -DWIN32. This information
may be important to RC sources too, so add such preprocessor
definitions to the default RC flags.

The RC language is special in that it is automatically enabled
on Windows-based platforms when another primary language is
enabled. Move enablement of RC from early in the enablement
of the other language to late. This will allow it to use
information detected as part of enabling C, CXX, or Fortran.
Initialize CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO_INIT from the value
of CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO_INIT rather than the one for
the DEBUG configuration. This typo has been present since the logic was
first added in commit 36db45082e (ENH: fix up several problems with new
stuff, 2002-11-11).
Reported-by: Gunnar Roth <gunnar.roth@gmx.de>
Move it to the Platform/Windows module since it is independent of the
compiler used. While at it, remove redundant "WIN32" setting from
Platform/Windows-MSVC since Plaform/Windows already sets its.
On WinCE we must link both shared libraries and executables with the
/subsystem:windowsce flag. Teach Platform/Windows-MSVC to pass it
to the linker in both cases.
Suggested-by: Gunnar Roth <gunnar.roth@gmx.de>
Call the generator "Visual Studio 14" without any year because this
version of VS does not provide a year in the product name.
Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio12Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio14Generator
and update version numbers accordingly. Add the VS14 enumeration value.
Teach the platform module Windows-MSVC to set MSVC14 and document the
variable. Teach module InstallRequiredSystemLibraries to look for the VS
14 runtime libraries.
Teach tests CheckCompilerRelatedVariables, VSExternalInclude, and
RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 14 as they do VS 10, 11, and 12.

Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties. Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important. Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.
In generators such as Ninja that can run multiple "cl" processes that
refer to the same compiler .pdb file (/Fd) at the same time, MSVC from
Visual Studio 2013 complains:
fatal error C1041: cannot open program database '.../vc120.pdb';
if multiple CL.EXE write to the same .PDB file, please use /FS
According to "cl /?":
/FS force to use MSPDBSRV.EXE
Add the flag to compilation lines for this compiler version just after the
/Fd option.
Teach CMake(C|CXX|Fortran)CompilerId* to report the MSVC version
simulated by the Intel compiler, if any. Refactor the Windows-Intel
platform information helper module to load Windows-MSVC instead of
duplicating the information. Teach Windows-MSVC to understand when
it is loaded as the simulated Fortran compiler (its preprocessor is
simulated).
Teach the compiler identification preprocessor tests to report when
Clang simulates MSVC, and what version. If not MSVC, assume GNU.
Teach compiler information modules Clang-(C|CXX) to recognize when Clang
simulates MSVC and skip loading the GNU information.
Teach the Windows-MSVC platform information to recognize when it is
loaded as the simulated compiler and use that version information
instead of the real compiler's (different) version scheme.
Add platform modules Windows-Clang-(C|CXX) and support module
Windows-Clang to load either Windows-MSVC or Windows-GNU and wrap
the corresponding information macros.
In commit bd827f98 (Use COFF file header header for architecture
detection, 2013-08-05) the MSVC_<lang>_ARCHITECTURE_ID value computed by
CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake changed for WinCE architectures to be the
exact architecture read from the PE header. Fix platform preprocessor
definitions in Modules/Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake to correspond to the
architecture family (ARM or SHx) instead of the specific architecture.
In commit 8fcf0ab0 (Add support for new Windows CE compiler, 2013-08-04)
we made corelibc conditional on the MSVC version, but the version value
was incorrect. Update it to use corelibc for VS 2008 and below.
In commit fb9f73de (MSVC: Invoke 'link' directly for executables,
2013-04-08) we forgot to remove the /link option handling added by
commit e31df039 (Ninja: move <OBJECTS> in front of the first linker
option, 2012-09-27) to the Platform/Windows-MSVC module. Drop it now.
