Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
When `$<LINK_ONLY:...>` is used outside of linking we may evaluate it
without a `dagChecker`. Do not dereference the NULL pointer and issue a
diagnostic instead.
Closes: #16287
Replace use of cmsys::auto_ptr with a CM_AUTO_PTR macro that maps to
our own implementation adopted from the KWSys auto_ptr implementation.
Later we may be able to map CM_AUTO_PTR to std::auto_ptr on compilers
that do not warn about it.
Automate the client site conversions:
git grep -l auto_ptr -- Source/ | grep -v Source/kwsys/ | xargs sed -i \
's|cmsys::auto_ptr|CM_AUTO_PTR|;s|cmsys/auto_ptr.hxx|cm_auto_ptr.hxx|'
Run clang-tidy's modernize-use-override checker. This checker must have
issues in version 3.8. It has way too little matches. And it adds
override to destructors. Revert the changes on the destructors and
change override to CM_OVERRIDE.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

The clang-format tool can do a good job formatting most code, but
well-organized streaming blocks are best left manually formatted.
Find blocks of the form
os <<
"...\n"
"...\n"
;
using the command
$ git ls-files -z -- Source |
egrep -v -z '^Source/kwsys/' |
xargs -0 pcregrep -M --color=always -B 1 -A 1 -n \
'<<[^\n]*\n(^ *("[^\n]*("|<<|;)$|;)\n){2,}'
Find blocks of the form
os << "...\n"
<< "...\n"
<< "...\n";
using the command
$ git ls-files -z -- Source |
egrep -v -z '^Source/kwsys/' |
xargs -0 pcregrep -M --color=always -B 1 -A 1 -n \
'<<[^\n]*\n(^ *<<[^\n]*(\\n"|<<|;)$\n){2,}'
Surround such blocks with the pair
/* clang-format off */
...
/* clang-format on */
in order to protect them from update by clang-format. Use the C-style
`/*...*/` comments instead of C++-style `//...` comments in order to
prevent them from ever being swallowed by re-formatting of surrounding
comments.
Sort include directives within each block (separated by a blank line) in
lexicographic order (except to prioritize `sys/types.h` first). First
run `clang-format` with the config file:
---
SortIncludes: false
...
Commit the result temporarily. Then run `clang-format` again with:
---
SortIncludes: true
IncludeCategories:
- Regex: 'sys/types.h'
Priority: -1
...
Commit the result temporarily. Start a new branch and cherry-pick the
second commit. Manually resolve conflicts to preserve indentation of
re-ordered includes. This cleans up the include ordering without
changing any other style.
Use the following command to run `clang-format`:
$ git ls-files -z -- \
'*.c' '*.cc' '*.cpp' '*.cxx' '*.h' '*.hh' '*.hpp' '*.hxx' |
egrep -z -v '(Lexer|Parser|ParserHelper)\.' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/cm_sha2' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/(kwsys|CursesDialog/form)/' |
egrep -z -v '^Utilities/(KW|cm).*/' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/Module/GenerateExportHeader' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/RunCMake/CommandLine/cmake_depends/test_UTF-16LE.h' |
xargs -0 clang-format -i
This selects source files that do not come from a third-party.

Ensure that cmStandardIncludes.h is included before any platform header
in cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator.h. That file needs to change as
a result of removal of the cmMakefile.h header from
cmGeneratorExpressionNode.h, affecting the compilation of
cmGeneratorExpressionNode.cxx.
On AIX we need to include our own headers first to get large file
support macros defined consistently within system headers. The old
order in this header worked only because it was always included after
other headers.
Some commands on Windows do not understand forward slash paths and
require backslashes. In order to help projects generate shell
invocations of such commands, provide a generator expression to convert
paths to the shell-preferred path format for the current generator.
This will allow custom commands to generate paths the same way CMake
does for compiler command invocations.
