Extend the signature
try_compile(RESULT_VAR <bindir> <srcfile> ...)
to allow multiple sources as
try_compile(RESULT_VAR <bindir> SOURCES <srcfile>... ...)
Process the sources to generate a CMakeLists.txt that enables all needed
languages.
Teach the TryCompile test to try cases with two sources of the same
language and of mixed languages. Teach RunCMake.try_compile to cover
error cases for the signature.
Process all arguments in a single loop using a simple state machine.
While at it, fix some error message typos. Also allow LINK_LIBRARIES
with no actual libraries to disable use of the -DLINK_LIBRARIES=...
from the CMAKE_FLAGS. This was already possible in the old logic if
LINK_LIBRARIES was immediately followed by another keyword argument
instead of the end of the argument list, so allow it in general.
Update the RunCMake.try_compile test cases accordingly.
Commit e65ef08b (try_compile: Fix quoting of libraries in generated
CMakeLists.txt, 2013-05-24) added quoting to entries specified in
the LINK_LIBRARIES. However, if the input entries contain whitespace
padding, that quoted whitespace causes an error in the generated
CMakeLists.txt at target_link_libraries.
Strictly, it is an error to have space separated entries in the
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES, as it was never properly handled by
CMakeExpandImportedTargets even prior to commit 236133e7 (Handle
targets in the LINK_LIBRARIES of try_compile., 2013-02-09). However,
it is causing a regression in KDE code which tests the next branch.
Since commit 236133e7 (Handle targets in the LINK_LIBRARIES of
try_compile, 2013-02-09) libraries passed to the new LINK_LIBRARIES
option of try_compile are not quoted inside the generated CMakeLists.txt
file. Quote the library names so they re-parse correctly when loaded by
CMake to configure and generate the test project.

In commit 236133e7 (Handle targets in the LINK_LIBRARIES of try_compile,
2013-02-09) an error return case was added without closing the file in
progress. Add the missing fclose() call.
Spotted by sevenhill.
Imported targets are re-exported so that they can be used by the
try_compile generated code with target_link_libraries.
This makes the use of the cmake_expand_imported_targets macro
obsolete. The macro is not able to expand the generator expressions
which may appear in the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES content.
Instead it just sees them as 'not a target'.
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a
variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not
exclusive to them. Refactor generation of these flags to use new
purpose-specific platform variables
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE
Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries. Add a new
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and
default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior.
Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to
allow easy global configuration in projects.
Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new
approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely. We must
leave it set in case projects reference the value. Furthermore, if a
project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new
value to be used. Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with
projects that modify this platform variable.
Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get
meaningful results.
Since commit 4fbdce2b (try_compile: Use random executable file name,
2012-02-13) a different <target>.dir is used for each try-compile.
Cleanup the directories as well as their content to avoid accumulating
leftover temporary directories.
Append a random number to the "cmTryCompileExec" file name to avoid
rapid creation and deletion of the same executable file name. Some
filesystems lock executable files when they are created and cause
subsequent try-compile tests to fail arbitrarily. Use a different
name each time to avoid conflict.

cd626ea For macros make sure the FilePath points to a valid pointer in the args.
If the source-file form of try_compile is given a file name with
multiple '.' characters such as "a.b.c" use only the shortest extension
to check the language. This is the expected behavior and is consistent
with normal language extension determination in the method
cmSourceFileLocation::UpdateExtension.
Set CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY explicitly in try_compile projects so
that the COPY_FILE feature knows where to look. This makes the feature
robust against CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE files that set variables
like CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY or EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH.
Pass the full version to cmake_minimum_required(VERSION) in generated
CMake files for try_compile projects. This tells CMake not to use any
backward compatibility behavior while processing code it generates.
Commit 3827991e (...fix...not being able to remove try compile code,
2008-03-26) introduced a loop of RemoveFile attempts to overcome
anti-virus locks on recently created try_compile executables. Fix the
logic in this loop to work when the file is already missing.
Both possible result values need to be convertible to the same type.
Some compilers fail to recognize that they can construct std::string
from the empty string literal, so state it explicitly.
The try_compile() command's COPY_FILE option should not try to actually
copy the file if it cannot be found. Some C runtime library's fopen
cannot handle an empty file name.
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.
The try_compile command builds the cmTryCompileExec executable using the
cmTryCompileExec/fast target with Makefile generators in order to save
time since dependencies are not needed. However, in project mode the
command builds an entire source tree that may have dependencies.
Therefore we can use the /fast target approach only in one-source mode.
Tested with various gcc, XCode, MSVC7, sdcc
For OSX when doing TRY_COMPILE() CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES is used, if there are different results an error is generated. CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES can be overwritten for the TRY_COMPILES with CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES.

STYLE: create a new base class cmCoreTryCompile, from which
cmTryCompileCommand and cmTryRunCommand are derived, so there are no public
static functions with lots of arguments anymore
