d328dc68 CTest: Add CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR val to `ctest_*` commands
9ac2e189 ctest_coverage: If gcov is not found just warn, not error
If a `ctest_*` command has CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR then any errors generated
by cmake during that command will cause the value to be assigned `-1`.
This will prevent a `ctest -S` script from returning non-zero unless the
script explicitly calls `message(FATAL_ERROR)`.
Add `CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_{ORDER,DIRECTION}` variables to specify
sort order and direction.
When multiple package with the same name have been found in the same
location sorting option can be used to force a specific version to be
loaded (e.g. libA_1.12.0 instead of libA_1.1.0). Currently sorting by
NAME and by NATURAL order have been implemented.
Natural ordering makes use of the `strverscmp(3)` ordering.
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
Make backslashes visible in the text. Rename VARIABLE to <var> in
second signature for consistency with the first signature. Add link to
referenced MSDN documentation.
The `ARGC`/`ARGV#` variables in function scope hold the original
arguments with no ;-list flattening. Add a way for functions to
cleanly parse arguments that may contain `;`. This also avoids
extra copying of the arguments.

Provide a way for custom commands to inform the ninja build tool about
their implicit dependencies. For now simply make use of the option an
error on other generators.

Find packages that install their cmake package configuration files in
`lib/cmake/<name>` when they are installed in the default Windows
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, `C:/Program Files/<name>`.
Closes: #16212
Add a ``FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB32_PATHS`` global property analogous to the
``FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS`` property. This helps find commands on
multilib systems that use ``lib32`` directories and either do not have
``lib`` symlinks or point ``lib`` to ``lib64``.
Add a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable to specify a list
of custom variables to be forwarded to a `try_compile` test project.
This will be useful for platform information modules or toolchain files
to forward some platform-specific set of variables from the host project
(perhaps set in its cache) to the test project so that it can build the
same way.
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/).
Since commit v3.3.0-rc1~430^2 (Teach find_(library|file|path) to get
prefixes from PATH, 2015-02-18) we search in <prefix>/include and
<prefix>/lib directories for prefixes with bin directories in the PATH
environment variable. The motivation was to support MSYS, MinGW and
similar Windows platforms in their default environments automatically.
At the time this behavior was thought to be worthwhile in general.

Teach the `add_custom_command` and `add_custom_target' commands to
substitute argv0 with the crosscompiling emulator if it is a target with
the `CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` property set.
Create a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` option to specify use
of `add_library(... STATIC ...)` for the generated test project.
This will be useful for cross-compiling toolchains that cannot
link a binary without custom flags or scripts.
The new `%s` format specifier is substituted by file()/string()
`TIMESTAMP` sub-commands with the number of seconds since unix-epoch
(1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC).

The option does not actually participate in argument groups like the
others because it does not actually install anything. Fix the order
in the documentation accordingly.
Reported-by: Daniel Wirtz <daniel.wirtz@simtech.uni-stuttgart.de>
Implementation indicates that at least two components of VERSION must
be specified (see Source/cmCMakeMinimumRequired.cxx.) Therefore the
minor version is not optional.
Let us take an example of a project that has some tests in a component
that need to be installed into a dedicated test package. The user
expectation is that the result could be achieved by typing the
following:
make
make tests
make install
DESTDIR=/testpkgs make install-tests
However this results in test components in the default installation as
well as the testpkg.
Add an EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option to the install() command to tell it that
the installation rule should not be included unless its component is
explicitly specified for installation.
The behaviour of double specified keywords is rather undefined or at
least not clearly documented. This change introduces a strict check and
emits a warning in case a keyword has been specified more than once.
Implement a native `cmake_parse_arguments` command that is fully
compatible with the documented behaviour of the previous implementation.
Leave the CMakeParseArguments module empty but existing for
compatibility.
