This adds the CACHE option to set_property and get_property commands.
This allows full control over cache entry information, so advanced users
can tweak their project cache as desired. The set_property command
allows only pre-defined CACHE properties to be set since others would
not persist anyway.
When a property does not exist we are supposed to return an empty value.
Previously if a property did not exist we just left the value of the
output variable unchanged. This teaches CMake to remove the definition
of the output variable in this case.
This teaches CTest to process coverage information only for object files
in targets containing labels of interest. This change also improves
loading of global coverage information by globbing only in each target
support directory instead of the entire build tree.
This generalizes the previous CMakeFiles/LabelFiles.txt created at the
top of the build tree to a CMakeFiles/TargetDirectories.txt file. It
lists the target support directories for all targets in the project.
Labels can still be loaded by looking for Labels.txt files in each
target directory.
During testing of the new message() signatures I mistakenly concluded
that SEND_ERROR stops processing. The corresponding commit enforced
this wrong behavior. This restores the correct behavior and fixes the
documentation accordingly.
Man page preformatted text needs an extra newline after the ending
marker to create a paragraph break. This bug was introduced by the
patch from issue #7797 to place explicit ".nf" and ".fi" markers around
preformatted blocks.
This teaches the command to interpret relative paths with respect to the
location of the invoking CMakeLists.txt file. The convention is already
used by most commands and won't change the behavior in script mode.
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so
that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes.
Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen
before the patch number. Now we always report version numbers in the
traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]".
We still use odd minor numbers for development versions. Now we also
use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus
allowing tests for exact CMake versions.
This cleans up the 'cmake --build' command-line interface:
- Rename --clean to --clean-first to better describe it.
- Replace --extra-options with a -- separator to simplify passing of
multiple native build tool options.
- Document the options in the main CMake man page description of the
--build option, and shares this with the usage message.
- Require --build to be the first argument when present.
- Move implementation into cmakemain where it belongs.
This teaches AddExternalProject to run "$(MAKE)" for build and install
steps of CMake-based external projects when using a Makefile generator.
It allows the external project to participate in a parallel make invoked
on the superproject.
This uses the get_property command to simplify property lookup in the
AddExternalProject module. It distinguishes for build and install
argument properties the cases of unset and set to empty.
CTest encodes test and tool output in XML for dashboard submission.
This fixes the XML encoding implementation to not encode an invalid
character and instead put a human-readable tag in its place.
See issue #8647.
This teaches the helper commands 'cmake -E cmake_symlink_executable' and
'cmake -E cmake_symlink_library' to remove broken symlinks before
creating a symlink and report an error when the symlink cannot be
created. See issue #8654.
The <target>_EXPORTS macro defined for object files when built in a
shared library <target> should be put in the <DEFINES> make rule
replacement and not <FLAGS>. Also, it should honor the platform
variable CMAKE_<LANG>_DEFINE_FLAG. See issue #8107.
The second argument of add_subdirectory must name a unique binary
directory or the build files will clobber each other. This enforces
uniqueness with an error message.
This adds cmCTestVC::InitialCheckout and uses it in cmCTestUpdateHandler
to run the initial checkout command. The new implementation logs the
command in the update log consistently with the rest of the new update
implementation.
