Re-lookup a variable value when an associated VariableWatch is executed
in cmMakefile::GetDefinition.
This fixes a problem with 'def' sometimes becoming invalid due to memory
reallocation inside an std::vector. In this case, the problem was that
if the call to VariableAccessed actually executed a callback function,
the internal state of the makefile has changed due to the associated
function scope being pushed. This in turn implies that a new
cmDefinitions instance was pushed in cmMakefile::VarTree. As
cmLinkedTree is based on an std::vector, this push can have triggered
reallocation of its internal memory buffer. However, as the value of
'def', which was computed on method entry, actually points to a property
of one of the cmDefinitions instances in cmMakefile::VarTree,
reallocation can invalidate the value of 'def' so that it cannot simply
be returned at the end of the function. The solution implemented here is
to simply lookup the value of 'def' again.
The ALLOWED_UNKNOWN_VARIABLE_READ_ACCESS access type was switched on an
undocumented variable and its lookup caused an unnecessary performance
impact. Remove it.
Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
If a callback has the same data as another call, we don't want to delete
the old callback. This is because if the client_data is the same, it
might get deleted causing the new client_data to be bogus. Now, AddWatch
will return true if it will use the watch, false otherwise. Callers
should check the return value to know whether client_data was adopted by
the watch or not.
The client data is arbitrary and the callback may be called an
unspecified number of times, so the cmVariableWatch must be the one to
delete the client data in the end (if it is needed at all).
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
