Stephen Kelly bd34963002 Refactor generation of shared library flags
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a
variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not
exclusive to them.  Refactor generation of these flags to use new
purpose-specific platform variables

  CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL
  CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC
  CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE

Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries.  Add a new
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and
default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior.
Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to
allow easy global configuration in projects.

Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new
approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely.  We must
leave it set in case projects reference the value.  Furthermore, if a
project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new
value to be used.  Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with
projects that modify this platform variable.

Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get
meaningful results.

Alex Neundorf 7db8db5b72 Improve documentation and messages for the new CMP0017
This patch incorporates the comments from Brad:
-some improvements to the documentation of CMP0017
-make the test QUIETLY search for zlib
2011-01-04 08:19:33 -05:00
Alex Neundorf db44848f44 Prefer files from CMAKE_ROOT when including from CMAKE_ROOT
This patch makes include() and find_package() prefer cmake files
located in CMAKE_ROOT over those in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.
This makes sure that the including file gets that file included
which it expects, i.e. the one from cmake with which it was tested.
It only changes behaviour when such an included file exists both
in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH and in CMAKE_ROOT.
This comes together with a new policy CMP0017, with default
behaviour it behaves as it always did, but warns.
With NEW behaviour it includes the file from CMAKE_ROOT
instead from CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This fixes (if CMP0017 is set)
building KDE 4.5 with cmake >= 2.8.3.
Also a basic test for this policy in included.

Brad King a364daf1fd Allow users to specify defaults for unset policies
Check CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP<NNNN> for a default when policy CMP<NNNN>
would otherwise be left unset.  This allows users to set policies on the
command line when the project does not set them.  One may do this to
quiet warnings or test whether a project will build with new behavior
without modifying code.  There may also be cases when users want to
build an existing project release using new behavior for policies
unknown to the project at the time of the release.

Alex Neundorf 6acc71c09d New CMP0016 for deciding whether an unknown target in TLL() is an error.
When set to OLD, target_link_libraries() silently accepts if it is called
with only one argument and this one argument is not a target.
When set to NEW, this is an error. By default it is a warning now.

Brad King e49b6eca4f Teach CMake Policies about tweak version component
Add the [.tweak] version component throughout the policy implementation.
Document all components for the cmake_policy(VERSION) command.  Record
the tweak level in which each policy was introduced (0 for all current
policies).  In generated documentation we report the tweak level only if
it is not zero.  This preserves existing documentation.

Brad King 02db43239b Teach link_directories to recognize relative paths
We create CMake Policy CMP0015 to make link_directories() treat relative
paths with respect to the source tree while retaining compatibility.
This makes it consistent with include_directories() and other commands.

Changes based on patch from Alex.  See issue #9697.

Brad King cb185d93d2 Fix if() command and CMP0012 OLD/NEW behavior
The commit "modified the if command to address bug 9123 some" changed
the if() command behavior with respect to named boolean constants.  It
introduced policy CMP0012 to provide compatibility.  However, it also
changed behavior with respect to numbers (like '2') but did not cover
the change with the policy.  Also, the behavior it created for numbers
is confusing ('2' is false).

This commit teaches if() to recognize numbers again, and treats them
like the C language does in terms of boolean conversion.  We also fix
the CMP0012 check to trigger in all cases where the result of boolean
coersion differs from that produced by CMake 2.6.4.

Brad King 9a77f65da7 Remove CMake Policy CMP0015 until it is revised
We revert commit "Create CMake Policy CMP0015 to fix set(CACHE)" because
the NEW behavior of the policy breaks a valid use case:

  # CMakeLists.txt
  option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "..." ON)
  add_library(mylib ...)
  set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF) # we want only mylib to be shared
  add_subdirectory(ThirdParty)

  # ThirdParty/CMakeLists.txt
  option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "..." ON)
  # uh, oh, with NEW behavior this dir uses shared libs!!!

We'll re-introduce the policy later with a different change in behavior
to resolve the motivating case, which was more subtle but less common.

See issue #9008.

Brad King 3d3efbd3f5 Clarify documentation and message for CMP0012
This commit re-words the warning message produced for CMP0012 to avoid
the word 'you' since often the person reading the message is not the
author of the code.  We also add an example of the bad OLD behavior to
the policy documentation.

Brad King 5837f4a613 Fix documentation of CMP0012 and CMP0013 versions
These policies were originally developed during the 2.7.x series and
intended for 2.6.5.  There was never a 2.6.5 release, so we should refer
to 2.8.0 instead.
2009-10-02 14:04:57 -04:00
Brad King 9c626d8f68 Policies 14 and 15 will be first released in 2.8.0
CMake policies CMP0014 and CMP0015 were implemented in the development
series version 2.7.x but will be first released in 2.8.0.  Now that the
development version number is higher than that (2.9.x) we can update
their version of introduction to the actual release number.

Brad King 528097c794 Document full version number with policy default
In CMake Policy documentation we specify the default behavior for the
current version of CMake.  This commit fixes that version by reporting
the full version number instead of just major and minor.

Brad King b41a548d86 Add parentheses around '&&' between '||' for gcc
The GNU compiler warns about possible operator precedence mistakes and
asks for explicit parentheses (-Wparentheses).  We add the parentheses
to silence the warning.  This also fixes one real logic error in the
find_package() implementation by correcting expression evaluation order.

Brad King ee2b446c95 Create CMake Policy CMP0015 to fix set(CACHE)
The set(CACHE) and option() commands should always expose the cache
value.  Previously we failed to expose the value when it was already set
if a local variable definition hid it.  When set to NEW, this policy
tells the commands to always remove the local variable definition to
expose the cache value.  See issue #9008.

Brad King e308621382 Create CMP0014 to require CMakeLists.txt files
Until now CMake accidentally accepted add_subdirectory() and subdirs()
calls referring to directories that do not contain a CMakeLists.txt
file.  We introduce CMake Policy CMP0014 to make this case an error.

Brad King 36366beb62 ENH: Improve CMP0012 doc and message formatting
This fixes the CMP0012 description to have a one-line summary in the
'brief' section and the rest of the explanation in the 'full' section.
It makes the warning message shorter and improves formatting of the
policy documentation, especially in the HTML pages.  The convention is
already used by all other policies.

Brad King c790b1fabb ENH: Create CMP0013 to disallow duplicate dirs
In CMake 2.6.3 and below we silently accepted duplicate build
directories whose build files would then conflict.  At first this was
considured purely a bug that confused beginners but would not be used in
a real project.  In CMake 2.6.4 we explicitly made it an error.

However, some real projects took advantage of this as a "feature" and
got lucky that the subtle build errors it can cause did not occur.
Therefore we need a policy to deal with the case more gracefully.
See issue #9173.

Brad King c332e0bf3c ENH: Isolate policy changes in included scripts
Isolation of policy changes inside scripts is important for protecting
the including context.  This teaches include() and find_package() to
imply a cmake_policy(PUSH) and cmake_policy(POP) around the scripts they
load, with a NO_POLICY_SCOPE option to disable the behavior.  This also
creates CMake Policy CMP0011 to provide compatibility.  See issue #8192.

Brad King d524f3675e ENH: Improve argument parsing error messages
Previously error messages produced by parsing of command argument
variable references, such as bad $KEY{VAR} syntax or a bad escape
sequence, did not provide good context information.  Errors parsing
arguments inside macro invocations gave no context at all.  Furthermore,
some errors such as a missing close curly "${VAR" would be reported but
build files would still be generated.

These changes teach CMake to report errors with good context information
for all command argument parsing problems.  Policy CMP0010 is introduced
so that existing projects that built despite such errors will continue
to work.

Brad King b93f0318fe ENH: Support full-path libs w/out valid names.
This change introduces policy CMP0008 to decide how to treat full path
libraries that do not appear to be valid library file names.  Such
libraries worked by accident in the VS IDE and Xcode generators with
CMake 2.4 and below.  We support them in CMake 2.6 by introducing this
policy.  See policy documentation added by this change for details.

  - Replace all checks of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
    with cmLocalGenerator::NeedBackwardsCompatibility calls
  - Create new CMP_0001 to determine whether or not
    CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY is used.

  - Show CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY in cache only when
    CMP_0001 is set to OLD or WARN
  - Update documentation of cmake_policy and cmake_minimum_required
    to indicate their relationship and the 2.4 version boundary
  - When no cmake policy version is set in top level makefile
    implicitly call cmake_policy(VERSION 2.4) which restores
    CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY and other 2.4 compatibility
