Define an empty string in CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_DEFAULT to mean that
the toolchain has no notion of lanuage standard levels. In this case
the <LANG>_STANDARD[_REQUIRED] properties will have no effect.
Update the RunCMake.CompileFeatures test to exclude the
LinkImplementationFeatureCycle test when there is no standard default.
It can never fail because no use of specific features will adjust the
CXX_STANDARD level required for any target since the standard levels
have no meaning in this case.
965a50dc Features: Fix GNU 4.4 and 4.5 C standard level flags
7f4154a4 Features: Fix CompileFeatures non-feature tests for space in path
f40c19b5 Features: Fix CompileFeatures test for C non-features
Fix the <lang>_non_features try_compile calls to work correctly when
there is a space in the path. Otherwise they all fail due to the space
instead of the lack of a feature.
004e1540 Features: Record for GNU 4.4.
2a5ca650 Features: Wrap failure-test in UNIX condition.
1ae2c6b2 Features: Blacklist cxx_constexpr test for GNU 4.5.
c66e3317 Features: Use a more-common feature in cycle-test.
c43a6dc5 Features: Update comment in test to match the code.
78259135 Features: Test presence of cxx_auto_type with genex.
7b9fc88b Features: Remove outdated comment.
The purpose of that test is to cover the case where the genex
reports '1', and the feature is chosen to be present on all/most
supported compilers. GNU 4.4 does not support cxx_nullptr.
Because not all compilers under test support the existing 'activation
features', add another test to ensure that compilers which support
both static_assert and nullptr behave as expected in this test.
The purpose of the feature listing in these tests is to make other
features from the same feature set (eg "C++11 features") available.
The compilers under test until now have supported these 'activation
features', but MSVC does not. Use the cxx_static_assert feature
instead to activate the feature set.
The tests below test the presence of both cxx_final and cxx_override,
only one of which is supported by MSVC. The test is in part intended
to verify that the COMPILE_FEATURES genex supports multiple arguments
and allows users to define names for groups of features (Clang already
calls cxx_final and cxx_override 'override control' as a group). Keep
the test, and allow the expectation to be set as appropriate.
Clang 3.4 uses C99 by default, and Clang 3.6 uses C11 by default:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/39379
GNU 4.9 uses C90 by default, and GNU 5.0 uses C11 by default:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html
Test that the default compiler settings result in the expected dialect
macros being defined for both C and CXX. Remove the unused main.c
file from the CompileFeatures unit test.
Allow setting build properties based on the features available
for a target. The availability of features is determined at
generate-time by evaluating the link implementation.
Ensure that the <LANG>_STANDARD determined while evaluating
COMPILE_FEATURES in the link implementation is not lower than that
provided by the INTERFACE of the link implementation. This is
similar to handling of transitive properties such as
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE.
Add properties and variables corresponding to CXX equivalents.
Add features for c_function_prototypes (C90), c_restrict (C99),
c_variadic_macros (C99) and c_static_assert (C11). This feature
set can be extended later.
Add a <PREFIX>_RESTRICT symbol define to WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
to conditionally represent the c_restrict feature.
Remove the use of check_cxx_source_compiles which is now just getting in
the way.
Blacklist the cxx_alignof feature in the test with GNU 4.7. The test
file compiles, but it is documented as available first in GNU 4.8.
Extend the interface of the target_compile_features command with
PUBLIC and INTERFACE keywords. Populate the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property if they are set. Consume the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property from linked dependent targets to determine the final
required compiler features and the compile flag, if needed.
Use the same pattern of origin-debugging which is used for other
build properties.
Record the availability of this feature for GNU 4.8 on (UNIX AND
NOT APPLE) only. In the future, availability can be recorded for
earlier GNU, for other platforms and for other compilers. Initially
the affected configurations are as restricted as possible to allow
for easy testing while extending the features vector in only one
dimension.
The error message when using the set_property API directly is not
very good, but follow up commits will provide origin debugging of
the property and a target_compile_features command which will
provide a configure-time backtrace when possible.
