We set CMAKE_Fortran_SIZEOF_DATA_PTR in the Fortran compiler information
file after detecting the compiler ABI. However, since Fortran does not
really have pointers, the preprocessor-based detection is unreliable.
The result is needed to set CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P only for Fortran-only
projects because the value can come from C or C++ compilers otherwise.
Therefore when CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P is available from another language we
should defer to it.
Implement Fortran 32/64-bit ABI detection on some platforms. We need to
set CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P correctly in Fortran-only projects so that the
find_library() command knows whether to look for 64-bit binaries. We
also detect ELF binaries to enable RPATH replacement. See issue #10119.
This stores CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_F90 in the Fortran compiler
information file CMakeFiles/CMakeFortranCompiler.cmake instead of in
CMakeCache.txt. This file makes the result available to try-compile
projects.
This teaches CMake to detect implicit link information for C, C++, and
Fortran compilers. We detect the implicit linker search directories and
implicit linker options for UNIX-like environments using verbose output
from compiler front-ends. We store results in new variables called
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES
The implicit libraries can contain linker flags as well as library
names.
two-step priority (None or Prefered)
Current order: ASM 0, C 10, Fortran 20, CXX 30, Java 40
This is the same order as automake choses:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/How-the-Linker-is-Chosen.html
This change should be backward compatible:
if there is a project using fortran and CXX, they had to set the
LINKER_LANGUAGE explicitely, otherwise cmake complained (but still generated
the project files). Explicitely setting the linker language still overrides
automatic detection.
If somebody has a custom language for cmake and the PREFERENCE starts with
"P", its changed to 100, which gives it preference over all other languages
(except the other custom languages which have also "Prefered"). "None" is
converted to 0.
