Add a cmTarget::CompileInfo struct to hold per-configuration information
about the compilation settings in a target. This is different than
cmTarget::OutputInfo because it applies to any targets that can compile
sources even if they do not link or archive.
Move the note about VS 6 into the PDB_NOTE.txt common include file
and include it from the per-config properties too. Also re-word
the note to clarify the separate compiler and linker flags involved
and state explicitly that compiler flags are not affected.
6e89c8a5 install: Support generator expressions in FILES and PROGRAMS mode
f11f7b34 cmInstallFilesGenerator: Add reference to calling cmMakefile

If there is no ARGV1, that is fine; version will be made empty, and no
version will be passed to find_package().
This is relevant when find_dependency is invoked multiple times,
sometimes with a version specified and sometimes without.
find_dependency(dep1 3.4)
find_dependency(dep2) # version still set to 3.4.
Teach the install(FILES) and install(PROGRAMS) commands to evaluate
generator expressions in the list of files.
Extend the ExportImport test to cover installation cases involving
generator expressions.
Add a Makefile member to the cmInstallFilesGenerator class and
populate it on construction. This will be useful in a following
change to evaluate generator expressions with proper context.
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.
Teach ExternalProject_Add a new BUILD_ALWAYS option to skip using
the build step stamp file and execute the step on every build.
Extend the BuildDepends test with a case to cover this option.
Historically CMake used three version components for the feature level.
We released new features while incrementing only the third version
component. Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support
branchy workflow, 2010-04-23) we used the fourth version component for
bug-fix releases and the development date:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>] = Release
<major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
This solidified use of three components for the feature level, and was
necessary to continue releasing 2.x versions because:
* Some existing projects performed floating-point comparisons of
${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION} to 2.x numbers
so ``x`` could never be higher than 9.
* Version 2.9.<date> was used briefly in post-2.8.0 development in
CVS prior to the transition to Git, so using it in releases may
have caused confusion.
Now that we are moving to 3.x versions, these two restrictions go away.
Therefore we now change to use only two components for the feature
level and use the scheme:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>] = Release
<major>.<minor>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
People will be tempted to put things there for convenience, thereby
causing conflicts similar to
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/35162/focus=35169
where it is conceivable that the LLVM developers could put a flag on
a target for convenience, which would cause conflicts for some downstreams.
When building boost with an alternate namespace the libraries generated
will have a different naming convention. This is often done to ensure
no symbol conflicts with external libraries built against a different
version of boost. If the namespace used is "myprivateboost::" instead
of "boost::" then the libraries built will be named myprivateboost_foo
instead of boost_foo. Add an option to specify a custom namespace used
to alter the library names that get searched for.
