It was a subtest of the RunCMake.ObjectLibrary test. However, we need
to test a build with ExternalProject after running CMake, which RunCMake tests
do not do.
Teach the CMake language lexer to treat the \-LF pair terminating a
line ending in an odd number of backslashes inside a quoted argument
as a continuation. Drop the pair from the returned quoted argument
token text. This will allow long lines inside quoted argument
strings to be divided across multiple lines in the source file.
It will also allow quoted argument text to start on the line after
the opening quote. For example, the code:
set(x "\
...")
sets variable "x" to the value "..." with no opening newline.
Previously an odd number of backslashes at the end of a line inside
a quoted argument would put a \-LF pair (or a \-CR pair) literally
in the argument. Then the command-argument evaluator would complain
that the \-escape sequence is invalid. Therefore this syntax is
available to use without changing behavior of valid existing code.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover cases of quoted arguments
with lines ending in \, \\, and \\\. Odd counts are continuations.
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.
Other warnings for the same policy already have similar output since
commit 81d2793e (Add differing target property content to policy CMP0022
warning, 2013-09-11).
Add cmCommand::Disallowed helper to check the setting of a policy that
disallows the command. Add a RunCMake.DisallowedCommands test
placeholder. Add a Help/policy/DISALLOWED_COMMAND.txt file for
inclusion by each policy document to avoid duplication of the common
text.
Add a string(CONCAT) command to simply concatenate input arguments
together. This will be useful for combining strings from different
quoting syntaxes. Add a RunCMake.string test covering these cases.
Introduce a policy to control the behavior.
The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a
double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport
test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.
daa0f6f Add Lua-style long brackets and long comments to CMake language
a8c6523 cmListFileLexer: Convert CRLF -> LF newlines explicitly
dbd9333 cmListFileLexer: Allow a leading UTF-8 Byte-Order-Mark (#11137)
5645783 cmListFileLexer: Allow command names with one letter (#14181)
Set the minimum required version of CMake high enough to avoid the
warning for CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32. The warning appears on stderr
and breaks the expected output matching.
Teach the CMake language parser to recognize Lua-style "long bracket"
arguments. These start with two '[' separated by zero or more '='
characters e.g. "[[" or "[=[" or "[==[". They end with two ']'
separated by the same number of '=' as the opening bracket. There is no
nesting of brackets of the same level (number of '='). No escapes,
variable expansion, or other processing is performed on the content
between such brackets so they always represent exactly one argument.
Also teach CMake to parse and ignore "long comment" syntax. A long
comment starts with "#" immediately followed by an opening long bracket.
It ends at the matching close long bracket.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover long bracket and long comment
cases.
Read input files in binary mode instead of text mode and convert CRLF
newlines to LF newlines explicitly in our own buffer. This is necessary
to read CMake source files with CRLF newlines on platforms whose C
runtime libraries do not transform newlines in text mode. For example,
a Cygwin or Linux binary may not transform CRLF -> LF in files read from
a Windows filesystem. Perform the conversion ourselves to ensure that
multi-line string literals in CMake source files have LF newlines
everywhere.
Teach the lexer to read a UTF-8, UTF-16 BE/LE, or UTF-32 BE/LE
Byte-Order-Mark from the start of a file if any is present. Report an
error on files using UTF-16 or UTF-32 and accept a UTF-8 or missing BOM.
Teach the lexer to treat a single letter as an identifier instead of an
unquoted argument. Outside of a command invocation, the parser treats
an identifier as a command name and an unquoted argument as an error.
Inside of a command invocation, the parser treats an identifier as an
unquoted argument. Therefore this change to the lexer will make what
was previously an error case work with no other behavioral change.
The final location and name of a build-target is not determined
until generate-time. However, reading the LOCATION property from
a target is currently allowed at configure time. Apart from creating
possibly-erroneous results, this has an impact on the implementation
of cmake itself, and prevents some major cleanups from being made.
Disallow reading LOCATION from build-targets with a policy. Port some
existing uses of it in CMake itself to use the TARGET_FILE generator
expression.
Make the API for adding targets string based so that it can easily
use cmGeneratorTarget.
Teach the cmIncludeCommand to generate the exported file at
configure-time instead if it is to be include()d.
The RunCMake.ExportWithoutLanguage test now needs a dummy header.h
file as expected error from export() is now reported after the
missing file error.

By default, the message is not issued. If CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED
is on, the message is fatal. If CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED is on, the
message is a warning.
Previously if headers required to check if a struct has a member can be
compiled with C++ compiler only, the check would fail because the C
compiler fails. As a consequence, the result variable would be set to
false, even if the struct has that particular member.
Teach CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER to accept a new optional argument LANGUAGE
that allows one to explicitly set the compiler to use. The new
signature is therefore:
CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER (<struct> <member> <header> <variable>
[LANGUAGE <language>])
CMake is aware of the policy's NEW behavior and the AppleClang compiler
id. Set the policy to NEW explicitly to avoid the warning and get the
NEW behavior.
Also teach the RunCMake test infrastructure to build tests with
-DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0025=NEW to avoid the policy warning
in test output that must match specific regular expressions.
Currently, export() is executed at configure-time.
One problem with this is that certain exported properties like
the link interface may not be complete at the point the export() is
encountered leading to an incorrect or incomplete exported
representation. Additionally, the generated IMPORTED_LOCATION
property may even be incorrect if commands following the export()
have an effect on it.
Another problem is that it requires the C++ implementation of cmake
to be capable of computing the exported information at configure time.
This is a limitation on the cleanup and maintenance of the code. At
some point in the future, this limitation will be dropped and more
implementation will be moved from cmTarget to cmGeneratorTarget.
This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be
used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce
that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used
with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties
matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for
this target type.
The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator
expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target,
but with the additional restriction that it may not contain
double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED
or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13.
An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library.
At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the
buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may
be added as a feature in a later commit.
The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja
generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes
related to that.
When RunCMake tests run during dynamic analysis, valgrind may add lines
of the form "==[0-9]+==..." to the output. Remove such lines from the
actual output before matching it against the expected output.
Since commit 58e52416 (Warn about arguments not separated by whitespace,
2013-02-16) we warn about arguments not separated by spaces. Loosen the
warning to not complain about left parens not separated by spaces from
the preceding token. This is common in code like "if(NOT(X))".
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover cases of left parens not
separated by spaces and check that no warning appears.
Set the minimum required version of CMake high enough to avoid the
warning for CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32. The warning appears on stderr
and breaks the expected output matching.
In the future CMake will introduce Lua-style long bracket syntax.
Warn about unquoted arguments that in the future will be treated
as opening long brackets.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover such cases and ensure that the
warning appears.
Teach the lexer to return tokens for whitespace. Teach the parser to
tolerate the space tokens where whitespace is allowed. Also teach the
parser to diagnose and warn about cases of quoted arguments followed
immediately by another argument. This was accidentally allowed
previously, so we only warn.
Update the RunCMake.Syntax test case StringNoSpace expected stderr to
include the warnings.
If a line inside a string ends in a backslash count the following
newline character as a line increment. Add a test covering this case to
verify that subsequent line numbers are correct.
Test basic unquoted and quoted argument parsing cases including failure
on an unterminated string and an unterminated command invocation. Also
cover arguments not separated by any spaces, which is accidentally
allowed by the current parser.
* The ALIAS name must match a validity regex.
* Executables and libraries may be aliased.
* An ALIAS acts immutable. It can not be used as the lhs
of target_link_libraries or other commands.
* An ALIAS can be used with add_custom_command, add_custom_target,
and add_test in the same way regular targets can.
* The target of an ALIAS can be retrieved with the ALIASED_TARGET
target property.
* An ALIAS does not appear in the generated buildsystem. It
is kept separate from cmMakefile::Targets for that reason.
* A target may have multiple aliases.
* An ALIAS target may not itself have an alias.
* An IMPORTED target may not have an alias.
* An ALIAS may not be exported or imported.
Commit 650e61f8 (Add a convenient way to add the includes install
dir to the INTERFACE., 2013-01-05) introduced an error case for
using the install(TARGETS) command with specified INCLUDES DESTINATION,
but no specified EXPORT set.
It is convenient to use a variable to set the various destinations
for different outputs (as KDE does), and some targets such as
executables are installed but not exported. This was triggering
the error case, but as it is a common case, remove the error.
First, it prevents a NULL dereference and second it reiterates that
targets without languages are not supported by CMake.
Add a RunCMake.ExportWithoutLanguage test exporting a library without a
languages.
Add a new signature to help populate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES and
LINK_LIBRARIES cleanly in a single call. Add policy CMP0023 to control
whether the keyword signatures can be mixed with uses of the plain
signatures on the same target.
Export the INCLUDES DESTINATION without appending to the
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the target itself. That way, a target
can be exported multiple times with different INCLUDES DESTINATION
without unintended cross-pollution of export sets.
It accepted an optional argument to test for equality, but no way
to get the linker language of a particular target.
TARGET_PROPERTY provides this flexibility and STREQUAL provides
the necessary API for equality test.
Extend the CompileDefinitions test to cover accessing the
property of another target.
In CMakeDetermineCompilerABI we use try_compile with the COPY_FILE
option to get a copy of the compiled binary used to detect the ABI
information. We already tolerate the case when compilation fails.
However, when compilation appears to succeed but does not produce the
expected executable the try_compile command immediately reports an error
because the COPY_FILE fails.
Tolerate COPY_FILE failure without stopping the overall configuration
process by using the try_compile COPY_FILE_ERROR option to capture the
error message. Log the full error to CMakeError.log and simply report
failure to detect the ABI as if compilation had failed.
Teach the RunCMake.Configure test to cover this case and verify that the
messages show up as expected both in stdout and in CMakeError.log.

ddde61c Introduce the LINK_ONLY generator expression.
5aa9731 GenexEval: Add abstracted access to link interface for a target.
When the COPY_FILE operation fails optionally capture the error message
with a COPY_FILE_ERROR option instead of reporting the error
immediately. This gives callers a chance to do something else or report
the error.
Teach the RunCMake.try_compile test to cover bad argument combinations
involving COPY_FILE_ERROR. Teach the TryCompile test to cover the case
of a COPY_FILE error message captured by COPY_FILE_ERROR.
Use preprocessor loops and add a unit test for the appropriate
policies. All policies whose value is recorded at target creation
time should be part of this list.
When CMake reports failure to configure a project, especially when the
toolchain does not initialize properly, the true reason may be clear
from reading the CMakeFiles/CMake(Output|Error).log files. Advise users
to look at these files if they exist when configuration fails.
Add RunCMake.Configure test to check that the log files are mentioned
when configuration fails.
Always populate the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES for interface
entries. Don't populate the old interface properties
matching (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?
if CMP0022 is NEW.
Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is now populated by
the target_link_libraries when operating on a static library,
make an equivalent change which populates the property with
the same value when the old link_libraries() command is used. This
silences the policy warning in that case.
This property is generated only for targets which have recorded
policy CMP0022 as NEW, and a compatibility mode is added to
additionally export the old interfaces in that case too.
If the old interfaces are not exported, the generated export files
require CMake 2.8.12. Because the unit tests use a version which
is not yet called 2.8.12, temporarily require a lower version.
This property replaces the properties which
match (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?, and is enabled
for IMPORTED targets, and for non-IMPORTED targets only with a policy.
For static libraries, the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is
also used as the source of transitive usage requirements content.
Static libraries still require users to link to all entries in
their LINK_LIBRARIES, but usage requirements such as INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS can be restricted to only
certain interface libraries.
Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is populated unconditionally,
we need to compare the evaluated result of it with the link implementation
to determine whether to issue the policy warning for static libraries. For
shared libraries, the policy warning is issued if the contents of
the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property differs from the contents of the
relevant config-specific old LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property.
Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio11Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio12Generator

Windows-MSVC to set MSVC12 and document the variable. Teach module
InstallRequiredSystemLibraries to look for the VS 12 runtime libraries.

and RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 12 as they do VS 10 and 11.

Use makefile->IssueMessage() to print the unprocessed watch message in a

call stack for the access.
When a watch does not specify a command to call then variable_watch
prints out a message to stderr. Remove code after that which collects
all variable values to construct a message that is never printed.
Otherwise such code causes a READ_ACCESS watch to trigger on all
variables in the currents scope.

This is initialized by CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET. The target
property is used as the operand to the -fvisibility= compile option

Process all arguments in a single loop using a simple state machine.
While at it, fix some error message typos. Also allow LINK_LIBRARIES
with no actual libraries to disable use of the -DLINK_LIBRARIES=...

LINK_LIBRARIES was immediately followed by another keyword argument
instead of the end of the argument list, so allow it in general.
Update the RunCMake.try_compile test cases accordingly.

045d6ae KWSys: Fix SystemTools::FileIsDirectory with long paths (#14176)
Add a RunCMake.if test to cover if() command behavior. Start with a
test for IS_DIRECTORY cases with an existing directory and a long path,
both with a trailing slash.
The ExternalData_LINK_CONTENT option tells ExternalData to convert real
data files it finds into content links and to "stage" the original
content in a ".ExternalData_<algo>_<hash>" file. However, after a data
object has been staged it is possible that a user-provided pattern in
the "REGEX:" option will later match the staged object file. We must
not process staged object files even when a user pattern matches them.
Fix the implementation to not match a staged object file as a normal
data file for conversion. Extend the RunCMake.ExternalData test to
cover this case.
The idea is to write to a temp file which contains generator
expressions, and at generate time, evaluate the generator expressions,
and write the result to a file.
Because executables on Windows are limited in the length of command line
it is possible to use, it is common to write command line arguments to a
file instead and specify the file as a source of arguments.
This new FILE(GENERATE) subcommand allows the use of generator
expressions to create such files so that they can be used with
add_custom_command for example.
Commit b8259c3d (Centralize maintenance of usage requirement include
directories, 2013-04-29) changed the handling of the property.
Previously setting the property directly instead of via
target_link_libraries would not result in transitive include
directory handling.
When called with a non-existent LHS target name the user may be trying
to add file-level dependencies. Clarify the error message to explain
the difference between target-level and file-level dependencies. Point
the reader at the commands and options needed for the latter.
The commit to add the INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION in qtbase.git
is 14054d45 (Set the INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION to 5., 2013-03-16)
which will be part of Qt 5.1.0.
If there is a Qt 5.0.3 release, there is no guarantee it will
contain that commit. Make sure such a Qt version does not fail
with this test if not.
We can do this check only if the TargetName is non-empty, which means
that we're evaluating INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES from a linked
dependency which was set using target_link_libraries.
It is possible to have relative paths in INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES already
in CMake 2.8.10.2, so that part will require a policy to fix.
It is considered an error if the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES contains
a directory which does not exist, which indicates a programmer error
by the upstream, or a packaging error.
One of the RunCMake.CompatibleInterface tests also needs to be updated
due to this change. Non-existant includes were used in the test, but
are not needed.
Check that source and binary directories are not part of the
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES for installed IMPORTED targets.
This is limited to directories which do not contain generator
expressions to evaluate. Such paths can only be checked at time
of use of the imported target, which will be done in a follow up
patch.
d90f49b CTest: Fail early without PROJECT_BINARY_DIR (#14005)
2e1c2bd build_command: Fail early without CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM (#14005)
4e5cb37 Refactor RunCMake.build_command test to allow more cases
Do not use PROJECT_BINARY_DIR before it is defined. If it is not
defined when needed, fail with an error message suggesting that the
project() command be invoked first.
If CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set fail with an error message instead of
crashing. Suggest calling project() or enable_language() first to
ensure that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is set.
Move the ErrorsOFF/ON common logic from CMakeLists.txt into an
ErrorsCommon file to allow other test cases to be added that do not use
the Errors test logic.
The CMake language implicitly flattens lists so a ";" in a list element
must be escaped with a backslash. List expansion removes backslashes
escaping semicolons to leave raw semicolons in the values. Teach
ExternalData_Add_Test and ExternalData_Expand_Arguments to re-escape
semicolons found in list elements so the resulting argument lists work
as if constructed directly by the set() command.
For example:
ExternalData_Add_Test(Data NAME test1 COMMAND ... "a\\;b")
ExternalData_Expand_Arguments(Data args2 "c\\;d")
add_test(NAME test2 COMMAND ... ${args2})
should be equivalent to
set(args1 "a\\;b")
add_test(NAME test1 COMMAND ... ${args1})
set(args2 "c\\;d")
add_test(NAME test2 COMMAND ... ${args2})
which is equivalent to
add_test(NAME test1 COMMAND ... "a;b")
add_test(NAME test2 COMMAND ... "c;d")
Note that it is not possible to make ExternalData_Add_Test act exactly
like add_test when quoted arguments contain semicolons because the CMake
language flattens lists when constructing function ARGN values. This
re-escape approach at least allows test arguments to have semicolons.
While at it, teach ExternalData APIs to not transform "DATA{...;...}"
arguments because the contained semicolons are non-sensical.

Implement generator toolset selection (cmake -T) for VS >= 10 by setting
the PlatformToolset. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test case to
verify CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET when the generator supports -T.
Since commit 485a940e (VS: Simplify MSVC version reporting, 2012-08-23)
all MSVC version information is detected during the compiler id step
from the actual compiler invoked by generated build systems rather than
hard-coded in VS generators. Therefore we can set the PlatformToolset
in VS >= 10 project files and support toolsets from other VS versions.
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_TOOLSET and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.
Add a RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test to cover basic "-T" option cases.
Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET is empty without -T, that -T is
rejected when the generator doesn't support it, and that two -T options
are always rejected.
