Some compilers use implicit link options of the form
-lcrt*.o
-lgcc*
-lSystem (on Mac)
-lSystemStubs (on Mac)
that provide system-wide symbols not specific to any language.
These need not be listed explicitly for mixed-language linking.
We teach CMake to remove the above items from the implicit library list
of each language. This change makes it possible to mix GNU compiler
versions in some cases.
This allows for a built in bzip and zip capability, so external tools
will not be needed for these packagers. The cmake -E tar xf should be
able to handle all compression types now as well.
The commit "Test per-config OUTPUT_DIRECTORY properties" added this test
with a find_library() call in a CMake script, which requires an explicit
list of possible library prefixes and suffixes. This commit adds more
suffixes to match the libraries built on HP, MinGW, and Cygwin.
We test (ARCHIVE|LIBRARY|RUNTIME)_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> properties
by building COnly as a subdirectory and setting the properties to put
its files in specific locations. We build an executable that verifies
the targets actually appear where expected.
The BuildDepends test exercises incremental linking with MSVC and Intel
tools on Windows. In some cases the Intel compiler creates objects that
cause the MS linker it invokes to crash during incremental linking. We
avoid the problem for this test by disabling incremental linking.
We introduce the "CMake.If" test to try out conversion of constants and
variables to boolean values in the if() command. We cover both OLD and
NEW behavior for policy CMP0012.
The commit "Test all target types in Fortran" enabled a SHARED library
in the Fortran test. However, we do not yet implement support for
shared libraries with XL Fortran (it seems this requires using the C
compiler to link). Furthermore, the old g77 2.97 from Red Hat does not
support shared libs on Itanium because the g2c lib is not -fPIC.
For now we just disable SHARED libs in the test for these tools.
We add Intel and MinGW Fortran linker options to create the import
library portion of a DLL. This allows other binaries to link to a
Fortran DLL.
We also update the Fortran test to use a .def file to specify exports
since there is no __declspec(dllexport) markup syntax in Fortran.
To enable this test, the option TEST_KDE4_STABLE_BRANCH must be switched on.
It can only be switched on if CMAKE_RUN_LONG_TESTS is ON.
Then the test will only be added if Qt >= 4.5 can be found, Perl can be
found and ZLIB can be found.

This commit re-writes Borland compiler build rules. We split the rules
into modern <os>-<id>-<lang> information modules but share a common
macro between languages to avoid duplication.
We also address a bug in the previous rules that would build some target
types against the static Borland runtime and others against the shared
Borland runtime in one build tree. Now we always use the shared runtime
as is the default in the rules for MS tools.
Previously we passed inputs to the decision to each Complex test and let
the test source decide. This commit moves the decision out of the tests
and makes it an option() in their source. This makes it possible to
build the Complex tests from outside the CMake test tree.
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.
The regex used by CMAKE_PARSE_IMPLICIT_LINK_INFO to detect link lines
should not match lines that happen to have ".../ld.../..." in them. A
linker name should match only as the last component of a path.
See issue #9666.
This commit teaches the CMAKE_PARSE_IMPLICIT_LINK_INFO function to log
its actions. We store the log in CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log at the top
of the project build tree. This will make diagnosis of implicit link
information parsing problems easier.
In the Fortran test we use a custom command to build another Fortran
project internally. The project provides a Fortran module and library
to which to link. This commit teaches the test to build the extra
project using the same build configuration as the main project.
We need to leave out the '%' character from tests with the Intel
compiler. Since '%' needs to be written '%%' in NMake when not using a
response file but just '%' when using a response file, we just skip the
character for now. It works with MSVC in NMake only because that
compiler expects '%%' inside response files, which do get used.
CMake defines MSVC only for a VS compiler, but the Intel compiler adds
the preprocessor definition _MSC_VER. Instead of relying on separate
tests to decide whether to use example_dll_2, we do one test in CMake
and then add our own preprocessor definition.
We test this by adding export(TARGETS) to the LinkLanguage test to
export the executable before the library is linked to it. Since
export(TARGETS) computes the link interface of the target (so that it
can export it), this ensures that the information is recomputed after
the link library is added.
This adds a "ModuleDefinition" test enabled when using MSVC tools. It
checks that .def files can be used to export .dll and .exe symbols and
create corresponding .lib files that can be linked. See issue #9613.
Policy CMP0002's OLD behavior allows duplicate non-custom targets. We
test it with a project that builds two executables of the same name by
setting CMP0002 to OLD.
The flag "-_this_is_not_a_flag_" was not rejected by GCC 4.0 on older
Mac OS X. We now use "---_this_is_not_a_flag_" instead, which will
hopefully be rejected by all compilers.
