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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Add options to the `install()` and `export()` commands to export the
targets we build into Android.mk files that reference them as prebuilt
libraries with associated usage requirements (compile definitions,
include directories, link libraries). This will allow CMake-built
projects to be imported into projects using the Android NDK build
system.
Closes: #15562
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.

Teach the export command to handle export sets defined by invocations
of install(TARGETS ... EXPORT foo). This makes maintenance of targets
exported to both the build tree and install tree trivial.
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.
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.
Since the export() command needs to know the final location of a target
in the build tree we cannot allow properties affecting the location or
name of a target file to be set after the target is passed to export().
Fix a violation of this rule in the SimpleInstall test.
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.
We define the export(PACKAGE) command mode to store the location of the
build tree in the user package registry. This will help find_package
locate the package in the build tree. It simplies user workflow for
manually building a series of dependent projects.
- Shared libs and executables with exports may now have
explicit transitive link dependencies specified
- Created LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES and related properties
- Exported targets get the interface libraries as their
IMPORTED_LINK_LIBRARIES property.
- The export() and install(EXPORT) commands now give
an error when a linked target is not included since
the user can change the interface libraries instead
of adding the target.
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
- Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
- Include soname of shared libraries in import information
- Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
- Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
- Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
- Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
- Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
- Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
- Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
- Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
- Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
- Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends
write generators for IDE projects, which use already existing makefiles
(current the kdevelop generator)
-first stept of the export interface, iniitial export() command
-more replacements for the FIND_XXX docs
