Stephen Kelly 0dfe395e3c Features: Add COMPILE_FEATURES generator expression.
Allow setting build properties based on the features available
for a target.  The availability of features is determined at
generate-time by evaluating the link implementation.

Ensure that the <LANG>_STANDARD determined while evaluating
COMPILE_FEATURES in the link implementation is not lower than that
provided by the INTERFACE of the link implementation.  This is
similar to handling of transitive properties such as
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE.

Stephen Kelly e0890d03a4 Features: Extend concept to C language.
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.

Stephen Kelly 62a4a67dc5 Add the WriteCompilerDetectionHeader module.
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.

Daniele E. Domenichelli be8ae96098 Allow the Package Registry to be disabled (#14849)
When a project is packaged for redistribution the local package
registries should not be updated or consulted.  They are for developers.

Add variables to disable use of package registries globally:

* CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the export(PACKAGE)
  command
* CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the User Package
  Registry in all the find_package calls.
* CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the
  System Package Registry in all the find_package calls.

Update documentation and unit tests.

Stephen Kelly 1df2116bfa Features: Decay language flag if requested is not available.
Use the highest standard compile flags available if requested language

This supports use-cases like

 # Compiled with -std=c++11 with GNU 4.7, which has no -std=c++14
 # or equivalent flag
 add_executable(main main.cpp)

communicate the availability of certain language features for
optional use.

This can be used to set the compiler features required by particular

by the features used, that will be added automatically.

Base the target_compile_features command on cmTargetPropCommandBase. This
gives us 'free' handling of IMPORTED, ALIAS, INTERFACE, non-compilable
and missing targets.

Stephen Kelly f97bf4370c Features: Add cxx_auto_type.
Record the availability of this feature for GNU 4.8 on (UNIX AND
NOT APPLE) only.  In the future, availability can be recorded for
earlier GNU, for other platforms and for other compilers. Initially
the affected configurations are as restricted as possible to allow
for easy testing while extending the features vector in only one
dimension.

The error message when using the set_property API directly is not
very good, but follow up commits will provide origin debugging of
the property and a target_compile_features command which will
provide a configure-time backtrace when possible.

needed for the feature.

Stephen Kelly faeddf64f2 project: Add infrastructure for recording CXX compiler features
Add a feature test using the compiler macros and the preprocessor to
determine available features.

Add a CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_FEATURES variable which contains all features
known to the loaded compiler, and a CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES variable
containing all features known to CMake.  Add language standard specific
variables for internal use to determine the standard-specific compile
flags to use.

This will be extended to other languages in the future.  Follow-up
commits will add features which will be recorded by the feature test.

Stephen Kelly 5de63265e3 Genex: Only evaluate TARGET_OBJECTS to determine target sources.
The output of this expression may contain macros for IDEs to replace
such as $(Configuration), $(CURRENT_ARCH) etc.  To avoid generating

there is an attempt to use it in other contexts.

above difference is implemented.

Stephen Kelly e5da9e51d0 cmTarget: Allow any generator expression in SOURCES property.
Remove use of UseObjectLibraries from Makefile and Ninja generators. It
is not needed now because those generators use GetExternalObjects
which already contains the objects from object libraries.

The VS10 generator calls both the UseObjectLibraries and the GetExternalObjects
methods. Ensure that duplicates are not created by skipping objects
from object libraries in handling of GetExternalObjects.

Similarly, fix VS6, VS7 and Xcode object handling by skipping
external objects from OBJECT_LIBRARY usage as appropriate.

The error message in the BadSourceExpression1 test is now reported
by the generator expression evaluator, so it has different text.

Brad King a41c0a9dcb Do not warn by default when policy CMP0025 or CMP0047 is not set
These policies are triggered by the use of a particular compiler rather
than outdated CMake code in a project.  Avoid warning in every project
that enables a language by not displaying the policy warning by default.
Add variable CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN> to control the warning
explicitly; otherwise enable the warning with --debug-output or --trace.

This breaks with strict policy convention because it does not provide
developers with any warning about the behavior change by default.
Existing projects will continue to build without a warning or change in
behavior.  When a developer changes the minimum required version of
CMake in a project to a sufficiently high value (3.0), the project will
suddenly get the new compiler id and may break, but at least the
breakage comes with a change to the project rather than the version of
CMake used to build it.

Breaking strict policy convention is worthwhile in this case because
very few projects will be affected by the behavior change but every
project would have to see the warning if it were enabled by default.

Alex Merry fcdf86d004 Help: Rewrite the cmake-developer.7 find module documentation
As well as the traditional variables, providing imported targets is
suggested, and the relative advantages and disadvantages briefly
discussed.

A mini-tutorial walking through creating a simple find module is
provided.

This changes the recommended version variable from Foo_VERSION_STRING to
Foo_VERSION, because there is really no need to have different variable
names for package version files vs. find modules.  It notes the old
variable name, though, and suggests setting it for compatibility.

Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important.  Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.

Brad King 7cbab17871 Change version scheme to use only two components for feature levels
Historically CMake used three version components for the feature level.
We released new features while incrementing only the third version
component.  Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support
branchy workflow, 2010-04-23) we used the fourth version component for
bug-fix releases and the development date:

 <major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>] = Release
 <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>]     = Development

This solidified use of three components for the feature level, and was
necessary to continue releasing 2.x versions because:

* Some existing projects performed floating-point comparisons of
  ${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION} to 2.x numbers
  so ``x`` could never be higher than 9.

* Version 2.9.<date> was used briefly in post-2.8.0 development in
  CVS prior to the transition to Git, so using it in releases may
  have caused confusion.

Now that we are moving to 3.x versions, these two restrictions go away.
Therefore we now change to use only two components for the feature
level and use the scheme:

 <major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>] = Release
 <major>.<minor>.<date>[-<id>]   = Development

Chuck Atkins 17485e37a2 FindBoost: Add suport for custom namespaces
When building boost with an alternate namespace the libraries generated
will have a different naming convention.  This is often done to ensure
no symbol conflicts with external libraries built against a different
version of boost.  If the namespace used is "myprivateboost::" instead
of "boost::" then the libraries built will be named myprivateboost_foo
instead of boost_foo.  Add an option to specify a custom namespace used
to alter the library names that get searched for.

Brad King aab11bcab4 Help: Change version 3.0.0 -> 3.0 in policy docs
Starting with 3.0 we will use only two components for the feature level,
and policies are only ever introduced with a bump to the feature level
version.

variable documentation by referencing the main variable.

Include information about how to compare version strings.  Also add
an historical note about the version scheme used prior to commit

Brad King ccc8704777 Help: Add documents to collect notes between releases
Add a release/dev.txt file and include it from release/index.rst in
development versions.  Add a "Changes Since Release" section with a
toctree that globs adjacent "dev/*" documents.  Add a sample topic
document explaining how topic-specific release note documents work.

This approach will allow developers to write release notes for their
changes as they are made.  The release manager may then consolidate and
organize the notes for a specific release version.

Brad King 7e142c5ac2 project: Manage VERSION variables
Teach the project() command to set variables

  {PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}

holding the project version number and its components.  Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.

Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project().  Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.

Stephen Kelly e00db59d6c QNX: Introduce QCC compiler id for that QNX platform compiler.
Introduce policy CMP0047 to control resetting the id for
compatibility.

De-duplicate content in the QNX platform file by including the GNU
one. QNX is a form of GNU platform.

Do not clear CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_${lang}_FLAGS variables.  They
are populated again later by the Compiler/GNU.cmake file anyway.

Modify the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_OBJECT variable only when the QCC
compiler id is in use, and the language is CXX.  Use the QNX
recommended flag for QCC instead of the gcc compatible -x flag.

Populate new module files to handle system includes and depfiles
when using the QCC compiler.

Remove code which unsets the system include and depfiles related
variables.  When a GNU driver is used instead of the QCC one, the
appropriate flags will be used.  These variables were previously
cleared for lowest-common-denominator compatibility with both
drivers.

This is motivated by the needs of KDE, which provides a separate
translation system based on gettext instead of the Qt linguist
translation system. The Qt uic tool provides command line options
for configuring the method used to translate text, and to add an
include directive to the generated file to provide the method.

Stephen Kelly 7521da2852 Introduce CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable.
This variable can be useful in cross-compiling contexts where the
sysroot is read-only or where the sysroot should otherwise remain
pristine.

If the new CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable is set, it is used instead
of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when generating the installation rules in
cmake_install.cmake.

This way, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable
always refers to the installation prefix on the target device, regardless
of whether host==target.

If any -rpath paths passed to the linker contain the CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX,
the matching path fragments are replaced with the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Matching paths in the -rpath-link are not transformed.

The cross-prefix usr-move workaround is assumed not to require extension
regarding CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX. The staging area is a single prefix, so
there is no scope for cross-prefix symlinks. The CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
is still used to determine the workaround path, and that variable
remains the relevant one even if CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX is used. If the
generated export files are deployed to the target, the workaround
will still be in place, and still be employed if required.

Stephen Kelly 5096967ecd Allow toolchain files to specify an external toolchain.
Clang can compile code, but uses the gcc tools for other tasks such
as linking. The -gcc-toolchain option can be used for that, but

If such a location is specified, use it as a hint for finding
the binutils executables.
2013-11-19 12:39:34 -05:00
Stephen Kelly 76552d595d Add compiler target compile options.
For clang, this allows passing -target <triple> to the compiler, and
for qcc, -V<arch> using toolchain files containing something like

 set(triple arm-linux-gnueabihf)
 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang")
 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})
 set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang++")
 set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})

or

 set(arch gcc_ntoarmv7le)
 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/qcc)
 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})
 set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/QCC)
 set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})

Both clang and qcc are inherently cross compiler( driver)s.

When cross-compiling with clang, use the CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_TARGET
as the _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX to find the appropriate binutils.

When cross-compiling with QNX qcc, use the CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_TARGET
to set the appropriate _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX.

Brad King 96966b5c80 ctest: Make the --build-makeprogram optional for --build-and-test
GenerateBuildCommand now knows how to lookup CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM or

--build-makeprogram can now be optional and simply override the
default selection when provided.

Note that with --build-nocmake we now need to load the cache in order to
make the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM entry available to GenerateBuildCommand.
2013-11-18 11:30:49 -05:00
Brad King 4ac75fdfe6 Prefer CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM over CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL (#14548)
Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio
generators, respectively.  Later the VS generators started using the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias.

Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern
variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the
other way around.  Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules.  Nothing needs to lookup
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.

Brad King bca67c710f build_command: Return a "cmake --build" command-line
Re-implement the build_command() command to use "cmake --build" instead
of generating a native build tool invocation directly.  This command
will internally invoke the proper native build tool.

This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce
a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no
quoting or escaping.  It will also allow us to later teach CMake to
delay the decision about which build tool to invoke until after the
project build system is generated to disk.  For example, on Visual
Studio 10 and above the preferred command-line tool is MSBuild, but we
need to fall back to devenv if the .sln has Intel Fortran .vfproj files.

The source files are already processed by cmQtAutomoc to look for

This replaces the need to invoke qt4_wrap_ui().

As the ui files are not likely to be part of the SOURCES of the
target, store the options associated with them separately in the
cmMakefile for querying during the autogen run.

Stephen Kelly ff6c401309 cmTarget: Add interface for compatible numeric properties
When using the boost MPL library, one can set a define to increase
the limit of how many variadic elements should be supported. The
default for BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE is 20:

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/limit-vector-size.html

If the foo library requires that to be set to 30, and the independent
bar library requires it to be set to 40, consumers of both need to set
it to 40.

 add_library(foo INTERFACE)
 set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 30)
 set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
 target_compile_definitions(foo INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)

 add_library(bar INTERFACE)
 set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 40)
 # Technically the next two lines are redundant, but as foo and bar are
 # independent, they both set these interfaces.
 set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
 target_compile_definitions(bar INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)

 add_executable(user)
 target_link_libraries(user foo bar)

Because the TARGET_PROPERTY reads the boost_mpl_vector_size property
from the HEAD of the dependency graph (the user target), and because
that property appears in the COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX of
the dependencies of the user target, the maximum value for it is
chosen for the compile definition, ie, 40.

There are also use-cases for choosing the minimum value of a number.
In Qt, deprecated API can be disabled by version. Setting the
definition QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0 disables no deprecated
API. Setting it to 0x501000 disables API which was deprecated before
Qt 5.1 etc.

If two dependencies require the use of API which was deprecated in
different Qt versions, then COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MIN can be
used to ensure that both can compile.
