This property defines a list of values for a cache entry of type STRING.
A CMake GUI may optionally use a drop-down selection widget for the
entry instead of a generic text entry field. We do not enforce that the
value of the entry match one of the strings listed.
This factors out duplicated code into reusable methods, thus simplifying
writing and reading of cache entry help strings, keys, values, and
properties.
This moves the filtering of source files to before the production of
coverage log files in order to avoid producing a CoverageLog-*.xml file
for 100 filtered-out files. The change greatly reduces the number of
submitted coverage files when using label filters.
When performing multiple ctest_coverage() commands in a single CTest
instance we need to clear the list of CoverageLog-*.xml files for
submission. Otherwise if the current coverage run produces fewer log
files than the previous run CTest will attempt to submit non-existing
files.
This teaches ctest_coverage() to remove any existing CoverageLog-*.xml
when it creates new coverage results. Otherwise the next ctest_submit()
may submit old coverage log files which unnecessarily.
This adds the CACHE option to set_property and get_property commands.
This allows full control over cache entry information, so advanced users
can tweak their project cache as desired. The set_property command
allows only pre-defined CACHE properties to be set since others would
not persist anyway.
When a property does not exist we are supposed to return an empty value.
Previously if a property did not exist we just left the value of the
output variable unchanged. This teaches CMake to remove the definition
of the output variable in this case.
This teaches CTest to process coverage information only for object files
in targets containing labels of interest. This change also improves
loading of global coverage information by globbing only in each target
support directory instead of the entire build tree.
This generalizes the previous CMakeFiles/LabelFiles.txt created at the
top of the build tree to a CMakeFiles/TargetDirectories.txt file. It
lists the target support directories for all targets in the project.
Labels can still be loaded by looking for Labels.txt files in each
target directory.
During testing of the new message() signatures I mistakenly concluded
that SEND_ERROR stops processing. The corresponding commit enforced
this wrong behavior. This restores the correct behavior and fixes the
documentation accordingly.
Man page preformatted text needs an extra newline after the ending
marker to create a paragraph break. This bug was introduced by the
patch from issue #7797 to place explicit ".nf" and ".fi" markers around
preformatted blocks.
This teaches the command to interpret relative paths with respect to the
location of the invoking CMakeLists.txt file. The convention is already
used by most commands and won't change the behavior in script mode.
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so
that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes.
Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen
before the patch number. Now we always report version numbers in the
traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]".
We still use odd minor numbers for development versions. Now we also
use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus
allowing tests for exact CMake versions.
This cleans up the 'cmake --build' command-line interface:
- Rename --clean to --clean-first to better describe it.
- Replace --extra-options with a -- separator to simplify passing of
multiple native build tool options.
- Document the options in the main CMake man page description of the
--build option, and shares this with the usage message.
- Require --build to be the first argument when present.
- Move implementation into cmakemain where it belongs.
CTest encodes test and tool output in XML for dashboard submission.
This fixes the XML encoding implementation to not encode an invalid
character and instead put a human-readable tag in its place.
See issue #8647.
This teaches the helper commands 'cmake -E cmake_symlink_executable' and
'cmake -E cmake_symlink_library' to remove broken symlinks before
creating a symlink and report an error when the symlink cannot be
created. See issue #8654.
The <target>_EXPORTS macro defined for object files when built in a
shared library <target> should be put in the <DEFINES> make rule
replacement and not <FLAGS>. Also, it should honor the platform
variable CMAKE_<LANG>_DEFINE_FLAG. See issue #8107.
The second argument of add_subdirectory must name a unique binary
directory or the build files will clobber each other. This enforces
uniqueness with an error message.
This adds cmCTestVC::InitialCheckout and uses it in cmCTestUpdateHandler
to run the initial checkout command. The new implementation logs the
command in the update log consistently with the rest of the new update
implementation.
This fixes CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES to be used for all
generators instead of just those that construct their own compiler
command lines directly. See issue #8598.
It does not make sense to call the reverse Convert signature (for remote
paths corresponding to CMake-managed directories) with NONE or FULL
since they have no path. Patch from Modestas Vainius. See issue #7779.
This adds a new VCS update implementation to the cmCTestVC hierarchy and
removes it from cmCTestUpdateHandler. The new implementation has the
following advantages:
- Factorized implementation instead of monolithic function
- Logs vcs tool output as it is parsed (less memory, inline messages)
- Uses one global svn log instead of one log per file
- Reports changes on cvs branches (instead of latest trunk change)
- Generates simpler Update.xml (only one Directory element per dir)
Shared components of the new implementation appear in cmCTestVC and may
be re-used by subclasses for other VCS tools in the future.
This creates variable CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES to
specify implicit include directories on a per-language basis. This
replaces the previous platform-wide variable. It is necessary to
avoid explicit specification of -I/usr/include on some compilers
(such as HP aCC) because:
1.) It may break ordering among system include directories defined
internally by the compiler, thus getting wrong system headers.
2.) It tells the compiler to treat the system include directory
as a user include directory, enabling warnings in the headers.
See issue #8598.
This teaches cmCTestSVN::NoteNewRevision to save the repository URL
checked out in the work tree, the repository root, and the path below
the root to reach the full URL.
We used to suppress generation of -I/usr/include (and on OSX also
-I/usr/local/include). This behavior seems to cause more trouble than
it's worth, so I'm removing it until someone encounters the original
problem it fixed. See issue #8598.
The previous change to Source/cmDependsFortran.cxx while refactoring
implicit dependency scanning configuration rules completely broke
loading of the include file search path while scanning Fortran
dependencies. This adds the line that should have been added during the
previous change to load the include path correctly.
This adds the OPTIONAL option to the install(DIRECTORY) command. It
tells the installation rule that it is not an error if the source
directory does not exist. See issue #8394.
This class provides a RunProcess method to run a child process and send
its output to an abstract parsing interface. This also provides a
simple line parser and logger implementing the parsing interface.
In cmCTestUpdateHandler, this factors out version control tool detection
from the monolithic cmCTestUpdateHandler::ProcessHandler to separate
methods. This also places priority on detection of the tool managing
the source tree since using any other tool will cause errors.
This moves the initial checkout code from the monolithic
cmCTestUpdateHandler::ProcessHandler to a separate method
cmCTestUpdateHandler::InitialCheckout.
Previously we pre-quoted the command line tool path. This avoids it by
quoting the command everywhere it is used, thus preserving access to the
original, unquoted command.
This adds documentation of the APPEND option to the configure, build,
test, memcheck, and coverage commands. The docs leave specific
semantics for the dashboard server to define.
This corrects the terse documentation and adds detail to the full
documentation of some commands. It also normalizes the layout of the
documentation string endings to make adding lines easier.
This converts uses of 'char' as an array subscript to 'unsigned char' to
heed the warning from gcc. The subscript must be an unsigned type to
avoid indexing before the beginning of the array. This change avoids a
potential crash if input text contains a byte value beyond 0x7f.
This removes generation of some Update.xml content that is not used by
any Dart1, Dart2, or CDash servers:
- Revisions elements
- Directory attribute of File elements
- File elements within Author elements
The content was generated only because the original Dart1 Tcl client
generated it, but the content was never used.
The main svn update parsing loop in cmCTestUpdateHandler previously had
a logic error because the variable 'res' was not reset for each
iteration. For a locally modified file it would report the update info
for the previous non-modified file, or nothing if there was no previous
file. This fixes the logic by setting variable 'res' in both control
paths for each iteration. See issue #8168.
This renames the variable 'numModiefied' to 'numModified' to fix its
spelling. It also renames 'modifiedOrConflict' to 'notLocallyModified'
to describe its purpose (rather than the opposite of its purpose).
See issue #8168.
This teaches CTest to include source file labels in coverage dashboard
submissions. The labels for each source are the union of the LABELS
property from the source file and all the targets in which it is built.
Since CTest does not currently load configuration settings computed at
CMake Configure time while running dashboard scripts, the ctest_build
command must honor the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option directly.
Currently CTest does not load configuration settings computed at CMake
Configure time when running a dashboard script. This adds a comment
describing refactoring that might help resolve the problem.
When we collect Build.xml fragments generated by 'ctest --launch', this
lexicographically orders fragments with the same time stamp on disk
instead of incorrectly dropping duplicates.
This defines a 'UseLaunchers' CTest configuration option. When enabled,
CTest skips log scraping from the Build step output. Instead it defines
the environment variable CTEST_LAUNCH_LOGS to a log directory during the
build. After the build it looks for error-*.xml and warning-*.xml files
containing fragments for inclusion in Build.xml and submission.
This is useful in conjuction with 'ctest --launch' and the RULE_LAUNCH_*
properties to get reliable, highly-granular build failure reports.
cmCTestLaunch first used an empty initializer list to zero-initialize a
buffer, but this is not supported on older compilers. Instead we avoid
the need for initialization altogether.
This creates an undocumented 'ctest --launch' mode. It launches a
specified command and optionally records a failure in an xml fragment.
We will optionally use this in CTest's Build stage to record per-rule
build failure information when using Makefile generators.
This defines global, directory, and target properties
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE, RULE_LAUNCH_LINK, and RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM. Their
values specify 'launcher' command lines which are prefixed to compile,
link, and custom build rules by Makefile generators.
This gives the cmTarget instance for which custom command rules are
being generated to cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3::AppendCustomCommands.
It will be useful in the future.
This creates a new LABELS property for targets and source files. We
write the labels of each target and its source files in target-specific
locations in the build tree for future use.
This creates method cmTarget::GetSupportDirectory to compute a
target-specific support directory in the build tree. It uses the
"CMakeFiles/<name>.dir" convention already used by the Makefile
generators. The method will be useful for any code that needs to
generate per-target information into the build tree for use by CMake
tools that do not run at generate time.
On Windows the GetLongPathName API function does not work on some
filesystems even if the file exists. In this case we should just use
the original long path name and not the GetShortPathName result.
See issue #8480.
This patch from Philip Lowman creates a REALPATH mode in the
get_filename_component command. It is like ABSOLUTE, but will also
resolve symlinks (which ABSOLUTE once did but was broken long ago).
See issue #8423.
This patch from Philip Lowman teaches SystemTools::GetRealPath to deal
with paths that do not exist by dealing with the case that realpath
returns NULL. See issue #8423.
When testing whether to re-run CMake, a byproduct may be a symlink. If
so, the existence of the link is important rather than the link's
target. See issue #8465.
App Bundle and Framework directories, symlinks, and Info.plist files we
create during generation are byproducts, not outputs. We should re-run
CMake only when they are missing, not when they are old.
See issue #8465.
A cmXMLSafe constructor named its parameter 'str' which shadowed the
name of the 'str' method. This renames the parameter to avoid the
conflict warning.
A previous change accidentally added the MacOS content directory and
Info.plist files created for MACOSX_BUNDLE executables to the list of
CMake input files. This causes CMake to re-generate the project too
often. These items should be added to the list of CMake output files.
The patch used to fix this bug used SystemTools::GetRealPath which works
only for existing files. It broke the case of using the command
get_filename_component for a non-existing file. Also, it changed
long-standing behavior in a possibly incompatible way even for existing
files. This reverts the original fix and instead updates the
documentation to be consistent with the behavior.
On some compilers 'char' is signed and is therefore always equal to or
less than 0x7f. In order to avoid the compiler warning we perform the
comparison with an unsigned char type.
This class provides easy syntax to efficiently insert blocks of data
into XML documents with proper escapes. It replaces the old
cmCTest::MakeXMLSafe and cmSystemTools::MakeXMLSafe methods which
allocated extra memory instead of directly streaming the data.
This moves the error/warning count summary printed by
cmCTestBuildHandler to after Build.xml is generated. Later we will
compute the counts during generation of the xml.
This divides cmCTestBuildHandler::GenerateDartBuildOutput into three
methods to generate the header, content, and footer components of
Build.xml files. It will allow the content generation to be replaced
later.
The old install_files, install_programs, and install_targets commands
used to permit installation to the top of the prefix by specifying
destination '/'. This was broken in 2.6.0 to 2.6.2 by changes to
enforce valid destinations that did not account for this case. This
change fixes the case by converting the install destination to '.' which
is the new-style way to specify the top of the installation prefix.
The recent change to avoid expanding rule variables in informational and
'cd' commands broke the logical order in generation of preprocess and
assembly rules. This corrects the order.
During bootstrap we do not bother with rule hashing. This updates the
dummy implementation to account for the recent change in rule hash
method signatures.
Previously the makefile generator would expand rule variables even on
its progress and echo commands for object compilation rules (but not for
link rules). This fixes the implementation to only expand rule
variables on user-specified rules.
This simplifies computation of custom command rule hashes to hash
content exactly chosen as the custom commands are generated.
Unfortunately this will change the hashes of existing build trees from
earlier CMake versions, but this is not a big deal. The change is
necessary so that in the future we can make optional adjustments to
custom command lines at generate time without changing the hashes every
time the option is changed.
This teaches cmMakefile::GetProperty and cmake::GetProperty methods to
return NULL when the property name is NULL, making them more robust and
consistent with the behavior of cmTarget::GetProperty.
This refactors generation of <Test> element headers and footers in
cmCTestTestHandler and re-uses it in cmCTestMemCheckHandler. The change
removes duplicate code and enables the new <Labels> element for MemCheck
results.
The link_directories command treats relative paths differently from most
CMake commands. This notes the difference in the documentation.
See issue #8377.
When running in script mode it is possible to run multiple separate
dashboard submissions in one cmCTest instance. The recent refactoring
of file submission lists into parts failed to clear the submission lists
when starting a new dashboard (ctest_start or ctest_update). Only the
unused old submission set was cleared. This fixes the refactored
version to remove the old submission set completely and also clear the
part-wise lists.
We need to initialize cmCTestSubmitHandler on construction to make sure
all parts get enabled by default. The recent fix to re-enable all parts
on initialization broke submit-only operations because the handler did
not initialize on construction. This also removes duplicate
initialization code.
Isolation of policy changes inside scripts is important for protecting
the including context. This teaches include() and find_package() to
imply a cmake_policy(PUSH) and cmake_policy(POP) around the scripts they
load, with a NO_POLICY_SCOPE option to disable the behavior. This also
creates CMake Policy CMP0011 to provide compatibility. See issue #8192.
This teaches functions and macros to use policies recorded at creation
time when they are invoked. It restores the policies as a weak policy
stack entry so that any policies set by a function escape to its caller
as before.
This re-organizes the discussion of the policy stack in documentation of
the cmake_policy() command. The new organization clearer and easier to
extend with new information.
A 'weak' poilcy stack entry responds normally to queries. However,
setting a policy in a weak entry will recursively set the policy in the
next entry too. This also gives the internal interface to create a weak
entry the option to provide an initial PolicyMap for it.
This makes cmMakefile::PushPolicy and cmMakefile::PopPolicy private so
that any outside place that uses them needs to use the PolicyPushPop
helper in an automatic variable. We grant an exception to
cmCMakePolicyCommand so it can implement cmake_policy(PUSH) and
cmake_policy(POP).
This creates cmMakefile::PolicyPushPop to push and pop policy scope
automatically. It also enforces balanced push/pop pairs inside the
scope it handles.
This defines PolicyMap as a public member of cmPolicies. Its previous
role as a policy stack entry is now called PolicyStackEntry and
represented as a class to which more information can be added later.
The previous change to order projects in the VS IDE did not account for
duplicate target names (such as ALL_BUILD and ZERO_CHECK) among the
input set. While we suppress generation of the duplicate project
entries, we need to use a multiset to store ordered duplicates.
The previous change to make ALL_BUILD come first among targets did not
account for comparing the target name against itself. This led to an
invalid ordering of the target set. This change fixes it.
This teaches the VS IDE generators to write ALL_BUILD into solution
files first so that it is always the default active project. Previously
it was first only if no target name sorted lexicographically earlier.
See issue #8172.
Our implementation of the feature to pull in dependent targets in VS
solution files for subprojects caused the order of project files in the
solution to be arbitrary (based on pointer value in the representation).
Target ordering in solution files is important to prevent unnecessary
changing of the files and because the VS IDE selects the first project
listed as the default active target. This change restores lexicographic
order by target name.
If a logical block terminates with mismatching arguments we previously
failed to remove the function blocker but replayed the commands anyway,
which led to cases in which we failed to report the mismatch (return
shortly after the ending command). The recent refactoring of function
blocker deletion changed this behavior to produce an error on the ending
line by not blocking the command. Furthermore, the function blocker
would stay in place and complain at the end of every equal-level block
of the same type.
This teaches CMake to treat the begin/end commands (if/endif, etc.) as
correct and just warns when the arguments mismatch. The change allows
cases in which CMake 2.6.2 silently ignored a mismatch to run as before
but with a warning.
This centralizes construction of the error message for an unclosed
logical block (if, foreach, etc.). We record the line at which each
block is opened so it can be reported in the error message.
This uses a stack of 'barriers' to efficiently divide function blockers
into groups corresponding to each input file. It simplifies detection
of missing block close commands and factors it out of ReadListFile.
Previously cmTarget::GetLocation and cmTarget::GetFullPath would return
for Mac AppBundles the top-level bundle directory but without the .app
extension. We worked around this at the call sites. This fixes the
methods and removes the work-arounds. See issue #8406.
When a function blocker decides to remove itself we previously removed
it at every return point from the C++ scope in which its removal is
needed. This teaches function blockers to transfer ownership of
themselves from cmMakefile to an automatic variable for deletion on
return. Since this removes blockers before they replay their commands,
we no longer need to avoid running blockers on their own commands.
Previously bad arguments to an if() or elseif() would cause some
subsequent statements in the corresponding block to execute. This
teaches CMake to stop processing commands with a fatal error. It also
provides context to bad elseif() error messages.
Recently we taught find_package to re-find a package configuration file
if it is given a wrong answer. This fixes the documentation to reflect
the change.
The documentation of cmake_policy PUSH and POP states that they must
always match. Previously we enforced this only for the top scope of
each CMakeLists.txt file. This enforces the requirement for all files.
This creates the variable CMAKE_VERSION containing the full version of
cmake in "major.minor.patch" format. It is particularly useful with the
component-wise version comparison provided by the if() command.
This uses an automatic variable to push and pop variable scope inside a
function call. Previously if the function failed its scope would not be
popped. This approach guarantees a balanced push/pop.
This splits the list of files for CTest to submit into those belonging
to each part. The set is recombined just before submission. Later this
will allow piecewise submissions.
This introduces the name "part" to denote a portion of the testing and
submission process performed by ctest. We generalize the boolean
indicating whether each part is enabled into a structure to which more
information can be added later. We provide bi-directional mapping
between part id and part names.
The previous approach to handling of arguments to ctest_* commands
worked only for keyword/value arguments with a single value. This
refactors the approach to allow some commands to define alternative
argument forms.
