Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio
generators, respectively. Later the VS generators started using the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias.
Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern
variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the
other way around. Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules. Nothing needs to lookup
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.
Some extra options are for "ctest --build-and-test" directly, and others
are values for "--build-options". Split these two roles out into two
separate variables and update existing uses.
Use "cmake --build" to drive the "install" target from the CMake build
tree itself. This avoids using the heavier "ctest --build-and-test"
just to run the native build tool to drive installation.
Run the bootstrap script through "cmake -P" instead of
"ctest --build-and-test" so that we do not need to abuse
the --build-makeprogram option of the latter.
All cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand call sites that need to
produce a string now generate "cmake --build" commands. The remaining
call sites immediately pass the result to cmSystemTools::RunSingleCommand.
Avoid the intermediate string and argument parsing by directly producing a
vector of strings. Also drop the ignoreErrors argument because no call
sites remain that use it.
The internal variables CPACK_ADDCOMP_COMPONENTS,
CPACK_ADDCOMP_STR and CPACK_ADDCOMP_UNAME were being needlessly
exported to CPackConfig.cmake.
Prefixing them with an underscore prevents this.
CPACK_ADDCOMP_STR was particularily problematic since it contains
unescaped quotes.
This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce
a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no
quoting or escaping. It also makes the ctest_build command match what
"ctest -T Build" would run in a build tree configured with the new
build_command() command behavior. It also ensures that the native build
tool used matches that selected by the configuration of the tree to be
built.
Re-implement the build_command() command to use "cmake --build" instead
of generating a native build tool invocation directly. This command
will internally invoke the proper native build tool.
This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce
a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no
quoting or escaping. It will also allow us to later teach CMake to
delay the decision about which build tool to invoke until after the
project build system is generated to disk. For example, on Visual
Studio 10 and above the preferred command-line tool is MSBuild, but we
need to fall back to devenv if the .sln has Intel Fortran .vfproj files.
Create a GenerateCMakeBuildCommand method to generate a command-line
string invoking "cmake --build" for a given target and configuration.
Optionally allow the "-i" make flag and additional native options.
This is a virtual method that is overridden by every generator
subclass. The base class implementation should never be called,
so replace it with a dummy implementation.

Just as
set(VAR "")
sets VAR to an empty string in the current scope, the code
set(VAR "" PARENT_SCOPE)
is documented to set the variable to an empty string in the parent
scope. Fix the implementation to make it so.
The code "set(VAR PARENT_SCOPE)" unsets VAR in the parent scope.
Implement this case explicitly next to where "set(VAR)" is explicitly
handled to unset VAR in the current scope.
Since commit 7d47c693 (Drop compatibility with CMake < 2.4, 2013-10-08)
we no longer need to use the configure_file IMMEDIATE option to support
compatibility modes less than 2.0.
Allow ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES to be empty if a value for
ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES is provided. Assume in this use case that
the object stores will already contain all needed objects. Extend the
Module.ExternalData test to cover this case (all objects in stores).
Extend the RunCMake.ExternalData test to cover the non-failure message
case when stores are provided without URL templates.
