Include tests for:
- @ expansion during normal execution
- various characters in variable names for comparison between the new
and the old parser
- corner cases in the parsers
- correct messages when behavior is different
There are some corner cases in variable expansion which would be nice to
capture before going and rewriting the variable expansion code. The
majority of these are related to configuring files and strings with '@'
in them in conjunction with @ONLY being specified. Another is testing
for '(' usage inside of ENV variable references based on whether it is
quoted or not.
Bracket arguments recorded in command invocations inside foreach,
function, and macro blocks should not have any replacements done when
the arguments are replayed later. Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to
cover these cases.
Add an Escape1 test case covering \-escape cases inside bracket, quoted,
and unquoted arguments. Also cover comments immediately after quoted
and unquoted arguments on lines containing \# escapes.
Teach the CMake language lexer to treat the \-LF pair terminating a
line ending in an odd number of backslashes inside a quoted argument
as a continuation. Drop the pair from the returned quoted argument
token text. This will allow long lines inside quoted argument
strings to be divided across multiple lines in the source file.
It will also allow quoted argument text to start on the line after
the opening quote. For example, the code:
set(x "\
...")
sets variable "x" to the value "..." with no opening newline.
Previously an odd number of backslashes at the end of a line inside
a quoted argument would put a \-LF pair (or a \-CR pair) literally
in the argument. Then the command-argument evaluator would complain
that the \-escape sequence is invalid. Therefore this syntax is
available to use without changing behavior of valid existing code.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover cases of quoted arguments
with lines ending in \, \\, and \\\. Odd counts are continuations.
Teach the CMake language parser to recognize Lua-style "long bracket"
arguments. These start with two '[' separated by zero or more '='
characters e.g. "[[" or "[=[" or "[==[". They end with two ']'
separated by the same number of '=' as the opening bracket. There is no
nesting of brackets of the same level (number of '='). No escapes,
variable expansion, or other processing is performed on the content
between such brackets so they always represent exactly one argument.
Also teach CMake to parse and ignore "long comment" syntax. A long
comment starts with "#" immediately followed by an opening long bracket.
It ends at the matching close long bracket.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover long bracket and long comment
cases.
Read input files in binary mode instead of text mode and convert CRLF
newlines to LF newlines explicitly in our own buffer. This is necessary
to read CMake source files with CRLF newlines on platforms whose C
runtime libraries do not transform newlines in text mode. For example,
a Cygwin or Linux binary may not transform CRLF -> LF in files read from
a Windows filesystem. Perform the conversion ourselves to ensure that
multi-line string literals in CMake source files have LF newlines
everywhere.
Teach the lexer to read a UTF-8, UTF-16 BE/LE, or UTF-32 BE/LE
Byte-Order-Mark from the start of a file if any is present. Report an
error on files using UTF-16 or UTF-32 and accept a UTF-8 or missing BOM.
Teach the lexer to treat a single letter as an identifier instead of an
unquoted argument. Outside of a command invocation, the parser treats
an identifier as a command name and an unquoted argument as an error.
Inside of a command invocation, the parser treats an identifier as an
unquoted argument. Therefore this change to the lexer will make what
was previously an error case work with no other behavioral change.
Since commit 58e52416 (Warn about arguments not separated by whitespace,
2013-02-16) we warn about arguments not separated by spaces. Loosen the
warning to not complain about left parens not separated by spaces from
the preceding token. This is common in code like "if(NOT(X))".
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover cases of left parens not
separated by spaces and check that no warning appears.
In the future CMake will introduce Lua-style long bracket syntax.
Warn about unquoted arguments that in the future will be treated
as opening long brackets.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover such cases and ensure that the
warning appears.
If a line inside a string ends in a backslash count the following
newline character as a line increment. Add a test covering this case to
verify that subsequent line numbers are correct.
Test basic unquoted and quoted argument parsing cases including failure
on an unterminated string and an unterminated command invocation. Also
cover arguments not separated by any spaces, which is accidentally
allowed by the current parser.
