All global generator CreateLocalGenerator methods automatically
initialize the local generator instances with SetGlobalGenerator. In
several places we were calling SetGlobalGenerator again after receiving
the return value from CreateLocalGenerator. The double-initializations
leaked the resources allocated by the first call to SetGlobalGenerator.
This fix removes the unnecessary calls.
This extends the "-E" command line mode with a "rename old new"
signature. The new command atomically renames a file or directory
within a single disk volume.
This creates global property RULE_MESSAGES which can be set to disbale
per-rule progress and action reporting. On Windows, these reports may
cause a noticable delay due to the cost of starting extra processes.
This feature will allow scripted builds to avoid the cost since they do
not need detailed information anyway. This replaces the RULE_PROGRESS
property created earlier as it is more complete. See issue #8726.
This creates global property RULE_PROGRESS which can be set to disbale

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 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.
This defines global, directory, and target properties
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE, RULE_LAUNCH_LINK, and RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM. Their
values specify 'launcher' command lines which are prefixed to compile,
link, and custom build rules by Makefile generators.
When testing whether to re-run CMake, a byproduct may be a symlink. If
so, the existence of the link is important rather than the link's
target. See issue #8465.
App Bundle and Framework directories, symlinks, and Info.plist files we
create during generation are byproducts, not outputs. We should re-run
CMake only when they are missing, not when they are old.
See issue #8465.
This teaches cmMakefile::GetProperty and cmake::GetProperty methods to
return NULL when the property name is NULL, making them more robust and
consistent with the behavior of cmTarget::GetProperty.
OpenBSD shared libraries use a ".so.<major>.<minor>" extension and do
not have a symlink with just a ".so" extension. Its "ld" is capable of
finding the library with the best version. This change adds support for
finding such libraries. See issue #3470.
The set_property command unsets a property if it is given no value. In
the case of GLOBAL properties, the cmake::SetProperty method would
replace a NULL value with "NOTFOUND". Instead it should be left as NULL
so that the property is unset as expected. Once it is unset the
get_cmake_property command will still report NOTFOUND while the
get_property command will return the empty string as documented.
- We used to always put LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH and EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH
in the cache if the project did not.
- In CMake 2.6 these variables should no longer be used.
- Now add them only if CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY is also cached.
- This happens only when CMP0001 is set to OLD or WARN or if
the user or project sets it. In any case compatibility is needed.
- Reported by Miguel A. Figueroa-Villanueva and Philip Lowman.
the argument after -Wno-dev was skipped, which happened to be the source
directory, and so the current working directory was assumed as source
directory, although it was the build directory (maybe this didn't have an
effect if there was already a CMakeCache.txt in the build dir)

- CMake 1.8 and below did not do the check but could get in
infinite loops due to the local generate step.
- CMake 2.0 added the check but failed to perform it in directories
with no targets (see bug #678).
- CMake 2.2 removed the local generate which fixed the problem but
did not remove the check.
- Between CMake 2.4 and 2.6.0rc6 the check was fixed to work even
when no targets appear in a directory (see bug #6923).
- Bottom line: the check is no longer needed.
- Add cmListFileBacktrace to record stack traces
- Move main IssueMessage method to the cmake class instance
(make the backtrace an explicit argument)
- Change cmMakefile::IssueMessage to construct a backtrace
and call the cmake instance version
- Record a backtrace at the point a target is created
(useful later for messages issued by generators)
- ZERO_CHECK should check all stamps in case
of parallel build (fixes complex test failure)
- ZERO_CHECK should not appear when
CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION is on (fixes bug 6490)
- Remove CMP_0001 (no slash in target name) and restore
old CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY check for it
- Replace all checks of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
with cmLocalGenerator::NeedBackwardsCompatibility calls
- Create new CMP_0001 to determine whether or not
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY is used.
(old = use, new = ignore)
- Show CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY in cache only when
CMP_0001 is set to OLD or WARN
- Update documentation of cmake_policy and cmake_minimum_required
to indicate their relationship and the 2.4 version boundary
- When no cmake policy version is set in top level makefile
implicitly call cmake_policy(VERSION 2.4) which restores
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY and other 2.4 compatibility
- Fix tests MakeClean and Preprocess to call
cmake_policy(VERSION 2.6) because they depend on new policies
- Cycles may be formed among static libraries
- Native build system should not have cycles in target deps
- Create cmComputeTargetDepends to analyze dependencies
- Identify conneced components and use them to fix deps
- Diagnose cycles containing non-STATIC targets
- Add debug mode property GLOBAL_DEPENDS_DEBUG_MODE
- Use results in cmGlobalGenerator as target direct depends
the cmake run and add macros print_enabled/disabled_features() and
set_feature_info(), so projects can get a nice overview at the end of the
cmake run what has been found and what hasn't
FIND_PACKAGE() automatically adds the packages to these global properties,
except when used with QUIET
Maybe this can also be useful for packagers to find out dependencies of
projects.

-remove the unscriptable commands also from the cpack cmake
-use CPACK_PACKAGE_CONTACT in CMakeCPack.cmake, it's used in the nsis and
the deb generator
-make set_properties() scriptable
-use a non-const char array for adding the python modules
Alex
GetLocaGenerators(cmLocalGenerators) from cmGlobalGenerator(). Now there is
one const accessor which is even faster since it returns a reference
(instead of copying a vector)
-more const to ensure that this the returned local generators don't actually
get modified
-removed duplicated code in GetCTestCommand() and GetCPackCommand()
-added some const accessors
Alex
as discussed with David. This also gives a better ctest man page with just
the commands you should actually use in ctest scripts.
Until now these commands were more or less executed, but e.g. add_executable() didn't create an executable, project() failed with an
error. Now you get an error instantly if using one of these commands.
Alex
write generators for IDE projects, which use already existing makefiles
(current the kdevelop generator)
-first stept of the export interface, iniitial export() command
-more replacements for the FIND_XXX docs
Alex
-cmCacheManager: now also variables with type UNINITIALIZED are saved in
CMakeCache.txt, these are the vars defined using -DFOO=foo but without type
