Copy CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS into the test project generated by
try_compile, just like we already copy CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS.
Add CMake Policy CMP0056 to activate this behavior in a compatible way,
but do not warn by default when the policy is not set since it will
affect all try_compile calls.
Extend the RunCMake.try_compile test with a case covering this behavior
for each policy setting.
Allow directories in the source tree or build tree only if the
install tree is a subdirectory of the source tree or build tree,
as appropriate.
Re-use the test files in the RunCMake.include_directories test
to run in multiple scenarios. Bump the required CMake version
in the test to 3.0 to ensure that the new policy warnings are
emitted correctly.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~2 (Teach CMake Policies about tweak version
component, 2010-04-23), cmPolicies has known how to handle a policy
introduced in a tweak version. This was done back when we introduced
policies with the current development date version and later updated it
to the release version. Now we always introduce policies using the next
expected release version and explicitly set the policy to test the NEW
behavior.
CMake Policies (or any other features) should never be introduced in a
tweak (bugfix) release, so drop the infrastructure that allows this.
Teach the project() command to set variables
{PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}
holding the project version number and its components. Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.
Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project(). Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.

Introduce policy CMP0047 to control resetting the id for
compatibility.
De-duplicate content in the QNX platform file by including the GNU
one. QNX is a form of GNU platform.
Do not clear CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_${lang}_FLAGS variables. They
are populated again later by the Compiler/GNU.cmake file anyway.
Modify the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_OBJECT variable only when the QCC
compiler id is in use, and the language is CXX. Use the QNX
recommended flag for QCC instead of the gcc compatible -x flag.
Populate new module files to handle system includes and depfiles
when using the QCC compiler.
Remove code which unsets the system include and depfiles related
variables. When a GNU driver is used instead of the QCC one, the
appropriate flags will be used. These variables were previously
cleared for lowest-common-denominator compatibility with both
drivers.
Diagnostics which check the sanity of exported include paths
previously skipped over any path containing a generator expression.
Introduce a policy to issue an error message in such cases.
The export files created in the OLD behavior are not usable, because
they contain relative paths or paths to the source or build location
which are not suitable for use on installation. CMake will report an
error on import.
Teach add_custom_target to check the policy too. Extend the policy to
disallow reserved target names that we use for builtin targets like
"all".
Extend the RunCMake.CMP0037 test to cover these cases.
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.
Introduce a policy to control the behavior.
The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a
double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport
test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.
These policies were introduced after 2.8.12 in anticipation of 2.8.13.
However, we've now decided the next release will be 3.0.0, so update the
version of introduction accordingly.
The full policy documentation was moved to Help/policy/*.rst by commit
f051814e (Convert builtin help to reStructuredText source files,
2013-10-15). We no longer need the builtin string literals.
In commit 87cc62ca (Drop "full" documentation output types, 2013-09-13)
we dropped code using the LongDescription field of policy definitions.
We need to follow it up with a change similar to commit 399e9c46 (Drop
builtin property documentation, 2013-09-16) to remove the policy
documentation. Do that now. Keep the short description as it is used
in policy error and warning messages.
We will no longer support full documentation generation from executables
and will instead generate documentation with other tools. Disable (with
a warning left behind) the command-line options:
--copyright
--help-compatcommands
--help-full
--help-html
--help-man
Drop supporting code. Drop manual sections generation from executables.
Remove internal documentation construction APIs. Drop unused sections
See Also, Author, Copyright, Compat Commands, Custom Modules.
Temporarily add a RST formatter to convert builtin documentation to .rst
source files. This will be removed shortly after we use it to convert
documentation.
Teach the RST formatter to:
* Output preformatted blocks as reStructuredText "::" literal blocks.
* Output option lists as bullet lists with option names enclosed in
reStructuredText ``literal`` quoting.
* Output individual documentation objects (commands, variables, etc.)
in separate .rst files organized in directories by type.
Replace references to cmVersion::GetCMakeVersion() in builtin
documentation with the literal placeholder "|release|" that will be
defined as a substitution later.
The final location and name of a build-target is not determined
until generate-time. However, reading the LOCATION property from
a target is currently allowed at configure time. Apart from creating
possibly-erroneous results, this has an impact on the implementation
of cmake itself, and prevents some major cleanups from being made.
Disallow reading LOCATION from build-targets with a policy. Port some
existing uses of it in CMake itself to use the TARGET_FILE generator
expression.
1763c31 Set policy CMP0025 to NEW while building CMake itself
aa53ee5 Add policy CMP0025 for Apple Clang compiler id compatibility
ab65862 Clang: Add separate "AppleClang" compiler id
The parent commit introduced a separate "AppleClang" compiler id for
Apple's Clang distribution. Add a policy in order to support projects
that expect this compiler's id to be just "Clang". When the policy is
OLD or not set, map AppleClang back to Clang. Continue to use the
AppleClang id internally while enabling the language, but set the
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID after project() or enable_language() to the
compatible value for use by project code.
Currently, export() is executed at configure-time.
One problem with this is that certain exported properties like
the link interface may not be complete at the point the export() is
encountered leading to an incorrect or incomplete exported
representation. Additionally, the generated IMPORTED_LOCATION
property may even be incorrect if commands following the export()
have an effect on it.
Another problem is that it requires the C++ implementation of cmake
to be capable of computing the exported information at configure time.
This is a limitation on the cleanup and maintenance of the code. At
some point in the future, this limitation will be dropped and more
implementation will be moved from cmTarget to cmGeneratorTarget.
Add a new signature to help populate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES and
LINK_LIBRARIES cleanly in a single call. Add policy CMP0023 to control
whether the keyword signatures can be mixed with uses of the plain
signatures on the same target.
Always populate the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES for interface
entries. Don't populate the old interface properties
matching (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?
if CMP0022 is NEW.
Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is now populated by
the target_link_libraries when operating on a static library,
make an equivalent change which populates the property with
the same value when the old link_libraries() command is used. This
silences the policy warning in that case.
