This module was added by commit v2.6.0~1489 (...supporting embedded
compilers..., 2007-07-02) to avoid needing to build the compiler id
detection source on toolchains that need special flags or linker files
to produce executables. Since then CMake has learned other ways to
identify such compilers (e.g. passing vendor-specific version flags and
checking for vendor-specific banners in the output). Furthermore, CMake
now detects a lot more than just the compiler id during language
initialization in order to support things like <LANG>_STANDARD and
COMPILE_FEATURES. Therefore CMakeForceCompiler is no longer a viable
approach because it skips such detection.
One remaining challenge to support toolchains that require special
linker files is to build the test for a working compiler, compiler ABI
detection binary, and other try_compile cases. This will have to be
worked out as such cases are encountered.
The change made by commit v3.4.0-rc1~342^2 (Factor an <INCLUDES>
placeholder out of <FLAGS> in rule variables, 2015-07-13) affects an
internal interface. Since it is commonly used by projects anyway, add a
release note covering the change in placeholders.
Starting with sigc++ 2.5.1, c++11 must be enabled in order to use
sigc++. The GTK2::sigc++ imported target will automatically enable the
required build flags in order to build with the version found on the
system.
CMake assumes that a SHARED library compiled on Windows will export a LIB file.
This is not actually the case on Visual C++ if the library does not export any
symbols, and causes incremental builds to break if the user specifies SHARED
anyway. (Users should use MODULE libraries instead.)
Revert commit v3.4.0-rc1~10^2~2 (Features: Disable support for Oracle
SolarisStudio on non-Linux, 2015-09-29) and two follow-up commits.
The support of compile features and language standards on Orcale
SolarisStudio needs more investigation so for CMake 3.4 we should
just act as 3.3 did.
Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:
tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.4.rst
git rm -- Help/release/dev/*
except the sample topic:
git checkout HEAD -- Help/release/dev/0-sample-topic.rst
Reference the new document from the release notes index document.
Add a title and intro sentence to the new document by hand.

Teach the VS 2015 generator to support WindowsStore 10.0 applications.
Add target properties to customize them:
* VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_MIN_VERSION: Specifies the minimum version
of the OS that the project can target.
* VS_DESKTOP_EXTENSIONS_VERSION, VS_MOBILE_EXTENSIONS_VERSIONS,
VS_IOT_EXTENSIONS_VERSION: Add a reference to the version of the SDK
specified to the target allowing to target the extended functionality in
a universal project.
* VS_IOT_STARTUP_TASK: Specifies that the target should be
built as an IOT continuous background task.

c824b23d Features: Fix C++98 flags on Oracle SolarisStudio 12.4 on Linux

Teach the VS 2015 generator to produce a WindowsTargetPlatformVersion
value. Use the CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION to specify the version and if not
set choose a default based on available SDKs. Activate this behavior
when targeting Windows 10.

Teach CMakeDetermineSystem to check for a CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION setting
even when CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is not set. This will allow builds on the
host OS to target other versions of the OS without full cross-compiling.
On SunOS the -std=c++11 flag must be used for linking as well as
compiling. Until we implement support for this we cannot support
the CXX_STANDARD property except on Linux (where it was tested).
9298f56d CPack: allow packaging of empty directories

749a140a CPackDeb: allow empty directories in component packages
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.
The latter is now the preferred URL for visiting cmake.org with a
browser. Convert using the shell code:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's|http://www\.cmake|https://cmake|g'
The changes in commit 47b060ae (CPackDeb: allow empty directories in
component packages, 2015-09-21), commit b58de9fe (CPack: allow packaging
of empty directories, 2015-09-21), and commit b761e90d (CPack: remove
accidental changes, 2015-09-22) regressed packaging of CMake itself.
Revert the changes until they can be revised and rebased on other
changes that make additional fixes.
