The find_package command, on Windows, has always searched build trees
recently visited by cmake-gui (or CMakeSetup at one time). This was
done when the command was created with the intention of simplifying
workflows involving building multiple dependent projects. However,
this behavior depends on recent developer interaction and therefore
can create different find results based on transient system states.
It can lead to surprising results and user confusion.
Since this behavior was first added CMake has gained many more search
options, better error messages when a package is not found, and a
package registry. The latter in particular allows projects to make
their build trees available for dependent projects to find without
user intervention. Therefore the originally intended workflow can
be achieved in other, more stable ways.
After the above evoluion of find_package we have now decided that
the magic search-where-cmake-gui-was behavior does more harm than
good. Drop it. We do not need a policy for this behavior change
because it only affects interactive use.
Manage classes of search paths in labeled containers. This removes the
need to have a seperate member variable for each type of search path, but
also allows path types to be grouped togethor in various different ways
and manipulated as subsets of the full set of search paths.
The functions for adding the various different types of paths have been
factored out into a new class, cmSearchPath. It is to be used as a helper
container class for the various find_* commands.
Prior to this commit, the set of search paths to traverse for find commands
was incrementally constructed. This change allows each group of paths, i.e.
CMakeVariablePaths, UserHintsPaths, SystemEnvironmentPaths, etc. to be
constructed and manipulated independently, and then all combined togethor.
Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
Use a uint64_t to store encoded version numbers so we have plenty of
bits available. Encode with room for up to 1000 minor releases between
major releases and to encode dates until the year 10000 in the patch
level. This is necessary because CMake development versions prior to
release 2.8.0 used the date in the patch level, and this practice may be
restored after the 3.0 release.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
Define variable CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_WARN_NO_MODULE for use by a project
that wants to use an explicit mode in every call to find_package in
order to generate more specific failure messages. Word the warning
using the new CONFIG and MODULE mode keywords when the minimum required
version of CMake is new enough to have them. Otherwise word the warning
using the old NO_MODULE mode keyword.

All find_* commands re-root the list of paths and then add trailing
slashes. Factor this pair of calls out into a dedicated method. The
new method would be the only caller to AddTrailingSlashes, so subsume
that method into it.
Implement support for multiarch as specified here:
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarchhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec
Detect the <arch> part of <prefix>/lib/<arch> from the implicit library
search path from each compiler to set CMAKE_<lang>_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE.
Define CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE using one of these values (they should
all be the same). Teach the find_library and find_package commands to
search <prefix>/lib/<arch> whenever they would search <prefix>/lib.
The system package registry is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE which
has separate views for 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Look in both
views, but prefer the architecture matching the build target platform.
Generalize the "user package registry" created by commit ed0650f6 (Teach
find_package to search a "package registry", 2009-09-01). Define a
corresponding "system" registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This
gives package installers a place to create a registry value that points
at the right location for find_package() to locate the package.
Delay computation of the command documentation until it is needed.
It is wasteful to do it in the constructor on every call.

Before this patch there were two separate vectors, and the code made sure
they always had the same size.
With this patch the code doesn't have to ensure this anymore, there is only
one vector now.

As suggested on cmake-devel, find_package in Config-mode now records
all considered config-files and their versions in
<package>_CONSIDERED_CONFIGS and <package>_CONSIDERED_VERSIONS respectively.
Alex
Add platform configuration variable CMAKE_SYSTEM_IGNORE_PATH and user
configuration variable CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH. These specify a set of
directories that will be ignored by all the find commands. Update
FindPackageTest so that several cases will fail without a functioning
CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH.
When <pkg>_DIR is set to an incorrect version we search again and store
the result in the variable, even if it is <pkg>_DIR-NOTFOUND.
There was a bug in the case when the new search does not find anything
and the old value came from a cache entry with UNINITALIZED type. The
command used to try to load a package configuration file from the last
place searched, and would leave the old wrong value in the entry. This
commit fixes the behavior to avoid trying to load a missing file and to
set the value to <pkg>_DIR-NOTFOUND as expected.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
A common user workflow is to build a series of dependent projects in
order. Each project locates its dependencies with find_package. We
introduce a "user package registry" to help find_package locate packages
built in non-standard search locations.
The registry explicitly stores locations of build trees providing
instances of a given package. There is no defined order among the
locations specified. These locations should provide package
configuration files (<package>-config.cmake) and package version files
(<package>-config-version.cmake) so that find_package will recognize the
packages and test version numbers.
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.
to by the Foo_DIR variable there is no FooConfig.cmake file, then instead of
abort and complain that the user should set or clear the Foo_DIR variables,
just search for the file and discard the old Foo_DIR contents
The tests succeed, ok by Brad.

When the find_package command loads a module it sets several
<pkg>_FIND_XXX variables to communicate information about the command
invocation to the module. This restores the original state of the
variables when the command returns. This behavior is useful when a
find-module recursively calls find_package with NO_MODULE so that the
inner call does not change the values in the find-module.
Make the number of version components specified explicitly available.
Set variables for unspecified version components to "0" instead of
leaving them unset. This simplifies version number handling for find-
and config-modules. Also support a fourth "tweak" version component
since some packages use them.
- Hints are searched after user locations but before system locations
- The HINTS option should have paths provided by system introspection
- The PATHS option should have paths that are hard-coded guesses
- Add each part of the search order in a separate method.
