The FATAL_ERROR to cmake_minimum_required is useful for projects that
require 2.6 to convince CMake 2.4 to error out. This clarifies its
usefulness in the documentation.
When cmake_minimum_required is called with an unknown argument it should
not complain about it if the version specified is in the future. This
allows the proper error to be shown about the current CMake being too
old.
When computing runtime search path ordering a constraint exists when a
file that may be found by the runtime search exists in a directory other
than that containing the desired file. We test whether a potential
conflict is really the same due to a symlink. Recently the change to
cmFindLibraryCommand to load directory content created a case in which
the same-file check would be incorrectly skipped. This avoids skipping
the check.
The new 'testing' test behavior of actually running the tests generated
by the project still fails when the test script guesses the Debug
configuration but the CMake build tree was only built Release. The
inner ctest needs to find the ctest executable but is given the wrong
configuration.
The recent change of the 'testing' test to actually drive the tests
within it does not work on Windows with released CMakes 2.6.2 and lower
if no configuration is given to ctest with a -C option. This works
around the problem by detecting the case and changing the empty
configuration to Debug.
On Windows the KWSys System package generates escapes for command-line
arguments. This fix enables quoting of the empty string as an argument.
This also adds a test to pass an empty argument to a custom command.
The 'testing' CMake test builds a project that uses add_test. This
strengthens the test to actually run CTest on the project build tree
after building it.
When ctest --build-and-test runs the --test-command its output did not
quote the arguments of the command being tested making it difficult to
read. This adds the quotes. This also changes the wording of the
failure case to not sound like CTest could not run the executable when
in fact it ran and returned failure.
When CTest encounters a test whose executable is the ctest executable
iteslf, it just invokes code inside itself to avoid starting a new
process. This fixes a null-pointer dereference in the logging code of
that case.
The command argument lexer was recently regenerated which erased some
fixes that had been applied directly to the output. This restores the
fixes and adds reminder notes in the generation instructions.
The command argument parser code is generated by bison. This change
restores some fixes previously applied to the generated output that were
destroyed by regenerating the parser source. This time the fixes have
been put in the input file so regenerating the parser will not destroy
them again.
