Revise the documented modifications we need to make to the
flex-generated source file according to the needs of the new version.
Update our own implementation to avoid warnings with flex types.
Even though the `file(GLOB)` documentation specifically warns against
using it to collect a list of source files, projects often do it anyway.
Since it uses `readdir()`, the list of files will be unsorted.
This list is often passed directly to add_executable / add_library.
Linking binaries with an unsorted list will make it unreproducible,
which means that the produced binary will differ depending on the
unpredictable `readdir()` order.
To solve those reproducibility issues in a lot of programs (which don't
explicitly `list(SORT)` the list manually), sort the resulting list of
the `file(GLOB)` command.
A more detailed rationale about reproducible builds is available
[here](https://reproducible-builds.org/).
Add a `CMAKE_NINJA_OUTPUT_PATH_PREFIX` variable. When it is set, CMake
generates a `build.ninja` file suitable for embedding into another ninja
project potentially generated by an alien generator.
In WriteObjectBuildStatement we pass object file names and directories
to several places that expect paths as Ninja sees them. Convert them to
Ninja paths before all such uses.
All paths generated on Ninja-invoked command lines should be passed
through ConvertToNinjaPath. Fix ConvertToLinkReference to call this
instead of partially duplicating its implementation.
In `AppendTargetOutputs` we generate a logical build target name for
each UTILITY command. Simplify the logic to avoid testing the result
of `ConvertToNinjaPath`.
d9fd2f54 Revise C++ coding style using clang-format
82df6dea Empty commit at end of history preceding clang-format style transition
6a13f43f CONTRIBUTING: Add a section on coding style
bf451d9f Add a script to run clang-format on the entire source tree
1e90d78f Configure clang-format for CMake source tree
da60adc3 Tell Git to use a distinct conflict marker size in `.rst` files
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.
* If you reached this commit for a line in `git blame`, re-run the blame
operation starting at the parent of this commit to see older history
for the content.
* See the parent commit for instructions to rebase a change across this
style transition commit.
This is an empty commit that precedes an automatic application of
clang-format to update the C++ style of our entire source tree.
This may be helpful to rebase a topic branch that was originally
based on a commit preceding the transition. One may first rebase
the topic on this commit. Then use one of the following approaches.
* Rewrite the topic, including this commit, using `git filter-branch`
`--tree-filter` with `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` to update
the style in every commit. Rebase the revised topic, excluding the
rewrite of this commit, on the style transition commit.
OR
* Add a `.git/info/grafts` entry to change the parent of the first
commit in the topic from this commit to the style transition commit.
Rewrite the topic using `git filter-branch --tree-filter` with
`Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` to update the style in every
commit. Then remove the graft, which was resolved by the filter.
See `git help filter-branch` and `git help repository-layout` for
details.
List all sources in version control and filter out those that we should
not format for various reasons. Then run the clang-format tool to do an
in-place update.
After discussion among developers we settled on the Mozilla style
with a few tweaks:
* Do not align operator arguments.
* Do not always break after a function return type.
* Limit to 79 columns instead of 80 to fit edge cases
better in 80-column terminals as CMake has always done.
* Format for C++98 instead of C++11 because CMake is written
in the former language.

The `IMPLEMENT_VISIT_IMPL` macro must preserve a space before the `>`
character in case the `DATATYPE` is a template type ending in `>`.
Manually format the macro layout as clang-format would except for this
space. Then add markup to tell clang-format not to format this macro.
This supplements the existing library checks, to
cater for the possibility that the libraries are
present but the headers are not. This can happen
when the Boost collections is split up into
multiple packages and not all are installed,
and will avoid the checks silently passing when
the build would subsequently fail.
Packagers may now set their own rpm package
file names or request that rpmbuild tool
chooses one for them. It also supports handing
of situations where one spec file may produce
multiple rpm packages.
The empty string we add as a link item for an INTERFACE_LIBRARY target
is not a path, so do not mark it as such. The generators currently
tolerate it either way, but only by accident.
