Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

operation starting at the parent of this commit to see older history
for the content.
* See the parent commit for instructions to rebase a change across this
style transition commit.
Sort include directives within each block (separated by a blank line) in
lexicographic order (except to prioritize `sys/types.h` first). First
run `clang-format` with the config file:
---
SortIncludes: false
...
Commit the result temporarily. Then run `clang-format` again with:
---
SortIncludes: true
IncludeCategories:
- Regex: 'sys/types.h'
Priority: -1
...
Commit the result temporarily. Start a new branch and cherry-pick the
second commit. Manually resolve conflicts to preserve indentation of
re-ordered includes. This cleans up the include ordering without
changing any other style.
Use the following command to run `clang-format`:
$ git ls-files -z -- \
'*.c' '*.cc' '*.cpp' '*.cxx' '*.h' '*.hh' '*.hpp' '*.hxx' |
egrep -z -v '(Lexer|Parser|ParserHelper)\.' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/cm_sha2' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/(kwsys|CursesDialog/form)/' |
egrep -z -v '^Utilities/(KW|cm).*/' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/Module/GenerateExportHeader' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/RunCMake/CommandLine/cmake_depends/test_UTF-16LE.h' |
xargs -0 clang-format -i
This selects source files that do not come from a third-party.

When checking target types for TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS == false,
enumerate exactly the library types not supported rather than trying to
maintain a list of all the types that are supported. Otherwise
add_library(SomeImportedLib UNKNOWN IMPORTED)
warns on platforms that do not support shared libraries.

Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
Most callers already have a std::string, on which they called c_str() to pass it
into these methods, which internally converted it back to std::string. Pass a
std::string directly to these methods now, avoiding all these conversions.
Those methods that only pass in a const char* will get the conversion to
std::string now only once.
Teach add_custom_target to check the policy too. Extend the policy to
disallow reserved target names that we use for builtin targets like
"all".
Extend the RunCMake.CMP0037 test to cover these cases.
This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be
used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce
that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used
with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties
matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for
this target type.
The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator
expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target,
but with the additional restriction that it may not contain
double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED
or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13.
An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library.
At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the
buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may
be added as a feature in a later commit.
The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja
generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes
related to that.
* The ALIAS name must match a validity regex.
* Executables and libraries may be aliased.
* An ALIAS acts immutable. It can not be used as the lhs
of target_link_libraries or other commands.
* An ALIAS can be used with add_custom_command, add_custom_target,
and add_test in the same way regular targets can.
* The target of an ALIAS can be retrieved with the ALIASED_TARGET
target property.
* An ALIAS does not appear in the generated buildsystem. It
is kept separate from cmMakefile::Targets for that reason.
* A target may have multiple aliases.
* An ALIAS target may not itself have an alias.
* An IMPORTED target may not have an alias.
* An ALIAS may not be exported or imported.
When global property TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS is FALSE we should
still allow OBJECT libraries. This was an oversight in commit b87d7a60
(Add OBJECT_LIBRARY target type, 2012-03-12). While at it, fix the
warning message to report context.
This library type can compile sources to object files but does not link
or archive them. It will be useful to reference from executable and
normal library targets for direct inclusion of object files in them.
Diagnose and reject the following as errors:
* An OBJECT library may not be referenced in target_link_libraries.
* An OBJECT library may contain only compiling sources and supporting
headers and custom commands. Other source types that are not normally
ignored are not allowed.
* An OBJECT library may not have PRE_BUILD, PRE_LINK, or POST_BUILD
commands.
* An OBJECT library may not be installed, exported, or imported.
Some of these cases may be supported in the future but are not for now.
Teach the VS generator that OBJECT_LIBRARY targets are "linkable" just
like STATIC_LIBRARY targets for the LinkLibraryDependencies behavior.
Consider the case motivating commit e01cce28 (Allow add_dependencies()
on imported targets, 2010-11-19). An imported target references a file
generated at build time by a custom target on which it depends. Had the
file been built directly using add_library or add_executable its target
name would have been visible globally. Therefore the imported target
representing the file should be globally visible also.
Teach the IMPORTED signature of add_(executable|library) to accept a new
"GLOBAL" option to make the imported target visible globally.
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.
When creating an IMPORTED target for a library that has been found on
disk, it may not be known whether the library is STATIC or SHARED.
However, the library may still be linked using the file found from disk.
Use of an IMPORTED target is still important to allow per-configuration
files to be specified for the library.
This change creates an UNKNOWN type for IMPORTED library targets. The
IMPORTED_LOCATION property (and its per-config equivalents) specifies
the location of the library. CMake makes no assumptions about the
library that cannot be inferred from the file on disk. This will help
projects and find-modules import targets found on disk or specified by
the user.
