2d738ce3 Help: Add notes for topic 'feature_record_msvc'
f73718c9 Features: Enable writing of MSVC compiler feature header.
64c30bdc Features: Record for MSVC C++ 2015 and MSVC C 2010-2015.
225c0ef8 Features: Record for MSVC 2010-2013.
This topic was merged to master prematurely, so remove it.
Notes:
VS2015 and above are the only MSVC versions to support cxx_final, so remove
usages from the tests, and instead only test for cxx_override.
VS2012 and above to conform to cxx_decltype_incomplete_return_types
proposal, but without support for auto return types the dcl.type.simple
example in the proposal doesn't compile.
VS2013 and above to conform to the updated cxx_contextual_conversions proposal,
but VS2010 and above pass the test.
Compilers such as MSVC have no explicit flags to enable C++11 mode,
it just is always on. So only run the link tests with compilers that require
a flag to specify the language version.
The __STDC_VERSION__ macro may be defined or not depending on the
implementation dialect of C. Test that it is defined before testing
its value.
The CXX tests do not need such a change because they define __cplusplus
in all dialects.
Extend the write_compiler_detection_header interface to allow
specifying a location for supplementary files, and getting the
list of resulting files as a variable.
Add properties and variables corresponding to CXX equivalents.
Add features for c_function_prototypes (C90), c_restrict (C99),
c_variadic_macros (C99) and c_static_assert (C11). This feature
set can be extended later.
Add a <PREFIX>_RESTRICT symbol define to WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
to conditionally represent the c_restrict feature.
Provide a function to write a portable header to detect compiler
features. Generate a preprocessor #error for unknown compilers
and compiler versions whose features are not yet recorded. This
error condition might be relaxed in the future, but for now it
is useful for verification of expectations.
Old versions of aCC need a special compiler flag to get full C++98 template
support as e.g. CMake itself or the Complex and ComplexOneConfig tests need.
The same versions need a special flag to get a proper C++ library, too.
When the primary source tree path named by a DATA{} reference does not
exist, produce an AUTHOR_WARNING instead of a FATAL_ERROR. This is
useful when writing a new DATA{} reference to a test reference output
that has not been created yet. This way the developer can run the test,
manually verify the output, and then copy it into place to provide the
reference and eliminate the warning.
If the named source tree path is expected to be a file but exists as a
directory, we still need to produce a FATAL_ERROR.
Instead of running many small tests with many cmake projects, simply
compare the generated export header against a reference.
Remove the helper macros and the try_compiles which are duplicates
of the library build tests.
Allow ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES to be empty if a value for
ExternalData_OBJECT_STORES is provided. Assume in this use case that
the object stores will already contain all needed objects. Extend the
Module.ExternalData test to cover this case (all objects in stores).
Extend the RunCMake.ExternalData test to cover the non-failure message
case when stores are provided without URL templates.
This corresponds to the g++ and clang++
option -fvisibility-inlines-hidden on linux. On Windows with MinGW,
this corresponds to -fno-keep-inline-dllexport. That option is
not supported by clang currently.
This is initialized by CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET. The target
property is used as the operand to the -fvisibility= compile option
with GNU compilers and clang.
The variables in this module are used to configure a header file
with defines whose name depends on the name of the target.
As valid names of targets may be invalid for use as defines, convert
the names of the defines used to C identifiers first. This is already
done in C++ code for the DEFINE_SYMBOL property.
This is not as simple as ensuring that the BASE_NAME is a C identifier,
because most of the define names are configurable, and because use of
a BASE_NAME which is not a C identifier, such as 4square can become a
C identifier by specifying a prefix in the generate_export_header
macro.
The CMake language implicitly flattens lists so a ";" in a list element
must be escaped with a backslash. List expansion removes backslashes
escaping semicolons to leave raw semicolons in the values. Teach
ExternalData_Add_Test and ExternalData_Expand_Arguments to re-escape
semicolons found in list elements so the resulting argument lists work
as if constructed directly by the set() command.
For example:
ExternalData_Add_Test(Data NAME test1 COMMAND ... "a\\;b")
ExternalData_Expand_Arguments(Data args2 "c\\;d")
add_test(NAME test2 COMMAND ... ${args2})
should be equivalent to
set(args1 "a\\;b")
add_test(NAME test1 COMMAND ... ${args1})
set(args2 "c\\;d")
add_test(NAME test2 COMMAND ... ${args2})
which is equivalent to
add_test(NAME test1 COMMAND ... "a;b")
add_test(NAME test2 COMMAND ... "c;d")
Note that it is not possible to make ExternalData_Add_Test act exactly
like add_test when quoted arguments contain semicolons because the CMake
language flattens lists when constructing function ARGN values. This
re-escape approach at least allows test arguments to have semicolons.
While at it, teach ExternalData APIs to not transform "DATA{...;...}"
arguments because the contained semicolons are non-sensical.

Extend the Module.ExternalData test to cover a DATA{} reference whose
name contains a space. Skip the case when the native build tool does
not support spaces.
Use a trailing slash to reference a directory. Require that a list
of associated files be specified to select from within the directory.
One may simply use DATA{Dir/,REGEX:.*} to reference all files but
get a directory passed on the command line.
Refactor use of the ExternalData_SERIES_MATCH value to avoid assuming
that it has no ()-groups that interfere with group indexing.
Extend the Module.ExternalData test to cover this case.
Add a Module.ExternalData test to verify data retrieval and test
argument DATA{} references.
Add a RunCMake.ExternalData test to verify error handling and automatic
transformation of a raw data to a content link and staged object.
