Define the 'cmake -A' option to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
without having to spell out the whole variable name. We choose
the name '-A' for "platform" because '-P' is already taken, and
in the common use case the "platform" is actually an architecture
(e.g. x64).
Teach the RunCMake test infrastructure to use -A to pass the generator
platform. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case to
verify that the -A option cannot be repeated.
Reject the option by default. It will be implemented on a per-generator
basis. Pass the setting into try_compile project generation. Add cache
entry CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.
Add a RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test to cover basic use cases for the
option. Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM is empty by default, and
that it is rejected when the generator does not support a user setting.
No call sites pass NULL to the output argument, so take it by
reference to avoid the if(output) conditions. Propagate the
change through the TryCompile APIs that call it.
Make the virtual 'Generate' method protected. Make 'DoGenerate'
the main entry point to generation. This gives cmGlobalGenerator
a chance to do some early operations before the individual
generator-specific implementations take over.
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 v2.8.12~300^2~1 (CLI: Suppress the unused warning if the
key value pair is cached, 2013-05-16), cmake::SetCacheArgs saves a
cachedValue pointer and may cause the memory to be freed (by setting the
cache entry) before reading it again. Fix this by saving the old value
in a separate string.
Delay use of CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET until the CMakeSystem.cmake
file has been configured and loaded during the first project() or
enable_language() command. This gives the toolchain file named by
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE a chance to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET. This
point is still early enough to set the generator toolset prior to
the initialization of any languages that might use the toolset.
The cmake::GeneratorToolset member variable remains an indication
of what was specified by the -T option or loaded from the cache.
It does not need to be updated based on the toolchain file setting.
The cmMakefile::TryCompile can still pass cmake::GeneratorToolset
into the inner instance because the try-compiled project will do
platform and language initialization using the CMakeSystem module
configured for the outer project.
Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test with cases that use a
toolchain file to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET.
If we fail to create the generator named by CMAKE_GENERATOR, exit
with an error message instead of crashing. While at it, fix the
wording of the error message when CMAKE_GENERATOR is not set.
Extend the RunCMake.CommandLine test with cases covering the
"cmake --build" option when the named directory does not provide
a CMakeCache.txt with a valid CMAKE_GENERATOR.
Teach set_property and get_property an "INSTALL" property type to be
associated with install-tree file paths. Make the properties available
to CPack for use during packaging. Add a "prop_inst" Sphinx domain
object type for documentation of such properties.
Teach cmake::HandleDeleteCacheVariables to tolerate a missing HELPSTRING
(NULL pointer) when saving cache entries. In the absence of other bugs
this should not be possible, but avoid the crash just in case.
Add properties and variables corresponding to CXX equivalents.
Add features for c_function_prototypes (C90), c_restrict (C99),
c_variadic_macros (C99) and c_static_assert (C11). This feature
set can be extended later.
Add a <PREFIX>_RESTRICT symbol define to WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
to conditionally represent the c_restrict feature.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
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.
Create cmGeneratorTargets before generating generate-time information.
C++ interfaces for querying build information is increasingly only
available at generate time through the cmGeneratorTarget class. Ensure
that the required cmGeneratorTarget instances are created. Use the
cmGlobalGenerator access API to access the relevant cmGeneratorTarget
instead of creating a temporary one on the stack.
Code paths that look up CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM from the cache only to
pass it to Build, which only passes it to GenerateBuildCommand,
no longer need to do so. GenerateBuildCommand now knows how to
look up CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in the cache when no explicit value
is given, so simply pass 0 now.
All cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand call sites that need to
produce a string now generate "cmake --build" commands. The remaining
call sites immediately pass the result to cmSystemTools::RunSingleCommand.
Avoid the intermediate string and argument parsing by directly producing a
vector of strings. Also drop the ignoreErrors argument because no call
sites remain that use it.
Refactor edit_cache tool selection to ask each global generator for its
preference. Teach the Ninja generator to always use cmake-gui because
Ninja by design cannot run interactive terminal dialogs like ccmake.
Teach the Makefile generator to use cmake-gui when also using an "extra"
generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall
back to CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND selection for normal Makefile build systems.
Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources.
Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and
cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this
information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods.
Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs.
Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the
executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself,
leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the
location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source
tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the
source tree.
Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build
tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the
install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set
of executables are available in one directory.
Rename the Visual Studio >= 10 generators to indicate the version year:
Visual Studio 10 => Visual Studio 10 2010
Visual Studio 11 => Visual Studio 11 2012
Visual Studio 12 => Visual Stduio 12 2013
Report the names with the year to the list of available generators so
that the cmake-gui drop-down shows the years. When selecting a
generator from the "-G" option or from an existing CMAKE_GENERATOR cache
entry, recognize names without the years for compatibility and map them
to the names with years.
Update the generator names in the cmake-generators.7 manual.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
Enable the --use-stderr behavior by default and ignore the old option.
Passing through the pipes allows color terminal output and other things
to work as if one ran the native build command directly.
Drop all DefineProperty calls for non-chained properties. Drop the
documentation from the chained ones. The documentation for all
properties is now in Help/prop_*/*.rst files.
We now need only the Usage formatter to support command-line options
that print basic usage, and the supporting indented=>preformatted markup
processor to support CMake message formatting. Drop all other
documentation formatters and move the remaining code up into the top
cmDocumentationFormatter class.
We will no longer support full documentation generation from executables
and will instead generate documentation with other tools. Disable (with
a warning left behind) the command-line options:
--copyright
--help-compatcommands
--help-full
--help-html
--help-man
Drop supporting code. Drop manual sections generation from executables.
Remove internal documentation construction APIs. Drop unused sections
