Previously bad arguments to an if() or elseif() would cause some
subsequent statements in the corresponding block to execute. This
teaches CMake to stop processing commands with a fatal error. It also
provides context to bad elseif() error messages.
mark_as_advanced variables removed, documentation cleaned up and OSX stuff
isolated to it's own section, support added for DOXYGEN_SKIP_DOT, support
added to call FindPackageHandleStandardArgs to avoid output on every CMake
run.
Recently we taught find_package to re-find a package configuration file
if it is given a wrong answer. This fixes the documentation to reflect
the change.
The documentation of cmake_policy PUSH and POP states that they must
always match. Previously we enforced this only for the top scope of
each CMakeLists.txt file. This enforces the requirement for all files.
This creates the variable CMAKE_VERSION containing the full version of
cmake in "major.minor.patch" format. It is particularly useful with the
component-wise version comparison provided by the if() command.
This uses an automatic variable to push and pop variable scope inside a
function call. Previously if the function failed its scope would not be
popped. This approach guarantees a balanced push/pop.
Recently we taught find_package to re-find a package if its
<package>_DIR result variable was set to a location not containing the
package (instead of reporting an error as before). This tests the
feature.
This splits the list of files for CTest to submit into those belonging
to each part. The set is recombined just before submission. Later this
will allow piecewise submissions.
This introduces the name "part" to denote a portion of the testing and
submission process performed by ctest. We generalize the boolean
indicating whether each part is enabled into a structure to which more
information can be added later. We provide bi-directional mapping
between part id and part names.
The previous approach to handling of arguments to ctest_* commands
worked only for keyword/value arguments with a single value. This
refactors the approach to allow some commands to define alternative
argument forms.
As it is today the generator creates linked resources to
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH and EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH if they are not a
subdirectory of the binary dir, so that the IDE can detect the
Binaries (this was addressed previously as a result of a bug report).
Reduces code redundancy by encapsulating common behaviour for
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH and EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH in AppendLinkedResource.
Addresses the two new variable names for these locations,
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY respectively.
Finally, it is addressing a bug in the current code for relative paths
in these variables. If it is a relative path to the binary dir, the
IsSubdirectory call returns false and so it creates the linked
resource. The created linked resource produces an error in the Eclipse
IDE because the IDE expects it to be a full path. The patch now
addresses this by concatenating the binary dir if it is a relative
path.
