An IMPORTED target in either type of package can equally depend on
an IMPORTED target in a Find module, which must be found as a
dependency, which is presumably the problem being implied. This is
not a distinction of creating an IMPORTED target in a Find module.
The FindXerces module was added in commit v3.1.0-rc1~155^2 (FindXerces:
New module to find Apache Xerces-C++, 2014-08-17). However, there are
two implementations of Xerces, one in C++:
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/
and one in Java:
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/
Rename FindXerces to FindXercesC to clarify that it is about the C++
implementation.
While at it, add the missing CMake 3.1 release note about this module.

Copy CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS into the test project generated by
try_compile, just like we already copy CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS.
Add CMake Policy CMP0056 to activate this behavior in a compatible way,
but do not warn by default when the policy is not set since it will
affect all try_compile calls.
Extend the RunCMake.try_compile test with a case covering this behavior
for each policy setting.
With PushScope and PopScope, keeping track of another bit of data for
each scope isn't easy. Instead, store it as another CMake variable so it
gets implicitly tracked along with everything else.
This works in a revert of commit
7d674b5f0b.
Provide options to fail without blocking or to block up to a timeout.
Provide options to specify the scope containing the lock so it can be
released automatically at the end of a function, file, or process.
Extend the RunCMake.file test with cases covering the file(LOCK) command
usage and error cases.
Add a VS_DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION source file property to specify where to
put files that are part of the package. For example:
set_property(SOURCE ${ASSET_FILES} PROPERTY VS_DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION "assets")
Without this, sources marked with VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT cannot be
located properly.
Create properties VS_SHADER_ENTRYPOINT and VS_SHADER_MODEL. Without
these many .hlsl source files may not be possible to use. Extend the
VSWinStorePhone test project to cover them.
Revert the feature added by commit v3.1.0-rc1~420^2~2 (FindOpenGL:
Provide imported targets for GL and GLU, 2014-05-31). Unfortunately it
does not work on Windows because the full path to each library file is
not actually known. The IMPORTED_LOCATION of an imported target must be
a full path, but OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY is just 'opengl32' on Windows because
the actual library file is in some implicit link directory that we may
know know.
More infrastructure will be needed in CMake to allow a name-only
imported library. Until that exists, we will not be able to provide
imported targets in FindOpenGL.
In commit 079e8469ab (... OpenGL always needs X11 on Unix, 2002-09-05)
the FindOpenGL module was taught to search for X11 as a dependency of
the OpenGL library. This was done without a detailed explanation, and
the dependency should not be explicitly needed because OpenGL headers
should not expose applications to X11 APIs directly.
Unfortunately the only way to know if anything legitimately depends on
this behavior (perhaps in static library cases) is to simply remove it
and wait for issues to be reported. If so, then we can add some kind of
compatibility setting for this later. Add a release note to draw
attention to this change.

Some applications only need the OpenSSL crypto library and want to avoid
linking against the SSL library. Set OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY and
OPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY in the code paths that do not need to find them
separately, and document them publicly. This allows applications to be
more specific when linking against OpenSSL.

ad6ee426 Rename doing_verbatim to doing_nothing
A common idiom in CMake-based build systems is to have custom commands
that generate files not listed explicitly as outputs so that these
files do not have to be newer than the inputs. The file modification
times of such "byproducts" are updated only when their content changes.
Then other build rules can depend on the byproducts explicitly so that
their dependents rebuild when the content of the original byproducts
really does change.
This "undeclared byproduct" approach is necessary for Makefile, VS, and
Xcode build tools because if a byproduct were listed as an output of a
rule then the rule would always rerun when the input is newer than the
byproduct but the byproduct may never be updated.
Ninja solves this problem by offering a 'restat' feature to check
whether an output was really modified after running a rule and tracking
the fact that it is up to date separately from its timestamp. However,
Ninja also stats all dependencies up front and will only restat files
that are listed as outputs of rules with the 'restat' option enabled.
Therefore an undeclared byproduct that does not exist at the start of
the build will be considered missing and the build will fail even if
other dependencies would cause the byproduct to be available before its
dependents build.
CMake works around this limitation by adding 'phony' build rules for
custom command dependencies in the build tree that do not have any
explicit specification of what produces them. This is not optimal
because it prevents Ninja from reporting an error when an input to a
rule really is missing. A better approach is to allow projects to
explicitly specify the byproducts of their custom commands so that no
phony rules are needed for them. In order to work with the non-Ninja
generators, the byproducts must be known separately from the outputs.
Add a new "BYPRODUCTS" option to the add_custom_command and
add_custom_target commands to specify byproducts explicitly. Teach the
Ninja generator to specify byproducts as outputs of the custom commands.
In the case of POST_BUILD, PRE_LINK, and PRE_BUILD events on targets
that link, the byproducts must be specified as outputs of the link rule
that runs the commands. Activate 'restat' for such rules so that Ninja
knows it needs to check the byproducts, but not for link rules that have
no byproducts.
Now that we know the year component of this VS version we
can add it to the generator name. For convenience, map
the name without the year to the name with the year.
Teach the add_custom_command and add_custom_target commands a new
USES_TERMINAL option. Use it to tell the generator to give the command
direct access to the terminal if possible.
Format the reStructuredText markup manually. Organize the command
options into a definition list. Use inline markup to cross-reference
related documents.
string SUBSTRING command now ignores length if it points
past end of string and uses end of string instead.
String SUBSTRING tests now cover more corner cases.

Add support for Sun/Uniforum/GNU gettext libintl. This belongs in CMake
rather than upstream because:
* There are multiple upstreams (Sun, GNU).
* It may or may not be in the glibc C library depending
upon the platform and build options used.
Although we already have a FindGettext module, that is for the tools.
This module is for the library, and is independent because it's
perfectly OK to use libintl without the gettext tools (and vice versa),
and they might not all be found. Add cross references between the two
modules in notes to make the relationship clearer.

Define the 'cmake -A' option to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
without having to spell out the whole variable name. We choose
the name '-A' for "platform" because '-P' is already taken, and
in the common use case the "platform" is actually an architecture
(e.g. x64).
Teach the RunCMake test infrastructure to use -A to pass the generator
platform. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case to
verify that the -A option cannot be repeated.
The ctest_configure command already reads the CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR
variable to get the value for the cmake -G option. Read new variable
CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM to pass on as CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM.
The "ctest --build-and-test" mode already has "--build-generator" to
specify the -G option to CMake. Add a "--build-generator-platform" option
to specify a value to pass on as CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM.
For VS generator names that do not specify the platform name, read
CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM to get it.
Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case covering
use of the x64 platform when the test generator is a Visual Studio
generator whose name does not specify a platform.
Reject the option by default. It will be implemented on a per-generator
basis. Pass the setting into try_compile project generation. Add cache
entry CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.
Add a RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test to cover basic use cases for the
option. Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM is empty by default, and
that it is rejected when the generator does not support a user setting.
Explain that try_compile calls need to be protected with conditions to
avoid running more than once so that it is easy to isolate a single
try_compile to perform with --debug-trycompile.

Delay use of CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET until the CMakeSystem.cmake
file has been configured and loaded during the first project() or
enable_language() command. This gives the toolchain file named by
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE a chance to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET. This
point is still early enough to set the generator toolset prior to

It does not need to be updated based on the toolchain file setting.

In the ctest(1) manual and ctest_start() command documentation, convert
mentions of CTest Script variables to cross-references so they will be
rendered as links.
Explicitly specify the sequence of underline characters we use in the
CMake documentation. It is the same sequence as that suggested in the
Sphinx documentation, but we have our own descriptions.
This is the convention suggested in the Sphinx documentation and is
already used in several other places in the CMake documentation.
Update a few places where we were using other characters.
Explain how to use $<BUILD_INTERFACE> and $<INSTALL_INTERFACE> directly
in the documentation of the target_include_directories command and
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property. Otherwise readers need
to notice the link to the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual and find the
example in that to understand the need for these expressions.
Also fix the explanation in cmake-buildsystem(7) to not claim that
relative paths may be used inside a BUILD_INTERFACE expression.
Note in a few places of the cmake_policy() command documentation
that the cmake_minimum_required() command can set policies too.

Teach set_property and get_property an "INSTALL" property type to be
associated with install-tree file paths. Make the properties available
to CPack for use during packaging. Add a "prop_inst" Sphinx domain
object type for documentation of such properties.
Link to it from the documentation of related properties, variables
and commands.
Extend the cmake-developer(7) documentation with notes on
extending feature support for compilers.
Organize the documentation by sub-command to keep the signatures and
their descriptions nearby. Use inline and explicit reST markup. Revise
wording as necessary for the updated layout. Clarify behavior of the
file(GENERATE) command w.r.t. conflicting file names.
The ALLOWED_UNKNOWN_VARIABLE_READ_ACCESS access type was switched on an
undocumented variable and its lookup caused an unnecessary performance
impact. Remove it.
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.
Add source file properties to control Xcode file type attributes:
XCODE_EXPLICIT_FILE_TYPE => explicitFileType
XCODE_LAST_KNOWN_FILE_TYPE => lastKnownFileType
Add a RunCMake.XcodeProject test to verify generated project content.
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.

be8ae960 Allow the Package Registry to be disabled (#14849)
d09fda5d Tests: Improve FindPackageTest for in-source builds
ac24a1c0 Tests: Improve FindPackageTest exported package version
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.
Use the highest standard compile flags available if requested language
version is too new.
This supports use-cases like
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
# Compiled with -std=c++11 with GNU 4.7, which has no -std=c++14
# or equivalent flag
add_executable(main main.cpp)
This can be used in combination with preprocessor defines which
communicate the availability of certain language features for
optional use.
This option was removed during conversion to the reStructuredText
documentation. Restore it. Process documentation starting at
Help/index.rst so that all manuals are included in the output.
Warn project developers at runtime that the module should not be used
anymore. Issue the diagnostic only when the project requires a new
enough CMake to use the alternative. Honor the
CMAKE_(ERROR|WARN)_DEPRECATED settings.
Allow directories in the source tree or build tree only if the
install tree is a subdirectory of the source tree or build tree,
as appropriate.
Re-use the test files in the RunCMake.include_directories test
to run in multiple scenarios. Bump the required CMake version
in the test to 3.0 to ensure that the new policy warnings are
emitted correctly.
Expect cxx_variadic_templates to implement N2555.
N2555 is essentially a bugfix and predates most compiler releases which
aimed to experimentally support variadic templates.
This can be used to set the compiler features required by particular
targets. An error is issued at CMake time if the compiler does not
support the required feature. If a language dialect flag is required
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.
Extend the interface of the target_compile_features command with
PUBLIC and INTERFACE keywords. Populate the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property if they are set. Consume the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property from linked dependent targets to determine the final
required compiler features and the compile flag, if needed.
Use the same pattern of origin-debugging which is used for other
build properties.
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.
Use the contents of it to upgrade the CXX_STANDARD target property,
if appropriate. This will have the effect of adding the -std=c++11
compile flag or other language specification on GNU when that is
needed for the feature.
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.

Extend the cmGeneratorExpressionDAGChecker with an interface
returning the name of the top target. Use that to determine
when there is a DAG violation, as required by the RunCMake.Languages
tests.
The output of this expression may contain macros for IDEs to replace
such as $(Configuration), $(CURRENT_ARCH) etc. To avoid generating
content which is not usable in other contexts, report an error if
there is an attempt to use it in other contexts.
This commit may be reverted in the future if a solution to the
above difference is implemented.
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.
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.
Add inline reST markup as appropriate. Word CMP0047 docs more like
those of CMP0025. State explicitly that the policies must be set
before the project or enable_language command calls.
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.
Not everything that isn't MSVC is GCC. I have support for LDC's depfile
format on its way upstream[1], but its future is uncertain. CMake should
at least support this for future depfile formats.

Recently used cmake-gui locations are searched only on Windows because
the Windows registry is used to record the values. This behavior is
historical and may be removed by a policy in the future so rather than
implementing it on other platforms simply document the current behavior.
This command does not support generator expressions. The documentation
was mistakenly extended to claim it in commit v3.0.0-rc1~60^2~3 (Help: Mark
up the buildsystem commands documentation, 2014-02-03).
Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties. Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
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.

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
People will be tempted to put things there for convenience, thereby
causing conflicts similar to
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/35162/focus=35169
where it is conceivable that the LLVM developers could put a flag on
a target for convenience, which would cause conflicts for some downstreams.
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.
Manually read through version control history since the 2.8.12.2
release and write release notes for important user-facing changes.
Co-Author: Stephen Kelly <steveire@gmail.com>
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

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.
Add a release/index.rst document titled "CMake Release Notes" to hold
the toctree for release notes. Add a "Release Notes" section to the
top-level html document index to link to the new document.
The old documentation stated that "all header files" were considered,
which was not true for any sensible definition of "all header files".
Only header files with certain names are considered.

behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project(). Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.

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

This is motivated by the needs of KDE, which provides a separate

Diagnostics which check the sanity of exported include paths
previously skipped over any path containing a generator expression.

The export files created in the OLD behavior are not usable, because
they contain relative paths or paths to the source or build location
which are not suitable for use on installation. CMake will report an
error on import.
Move "extra" generators to their own section instead of duplicating them

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.

The contents of this variable is passed to supporting compilers
as --sysroot. It is also accounted for when processing implicit
link directories reported by the compiler, and when generating
RPATH information.
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
generalize so that other compilers can be treated the same.
If such a location is specified, use it as a hint for finding
the binutils executables.
For clang, this allows passing -target <triple> to the compiler, and

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.

...
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.
Add notes about macro arguments in the foreach, if, and list commands.
Add a section to the macro command documentation explaining in detail
how macro arguments are not variables.
GenerateBuildCommand now knows how to lookup CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM or
choose a generator-provided default build tool. Therefore the
--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.
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.
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.
Refactor edit_cache tool selection to ask each global generator for its
preference. Teach the Ninja generator to always use cmake-gui because
Ninja by design cannot run interactive terminal dialogs like ccmake.
Teach the Makefile generator to use cmake-gui when also using an "extra"
generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall
back to CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND selection for normal Makefile build systems.
The cmake-language.7 manual now documents comment syntax. Reference it
from cmake-developer.7 when discussing how to add comment-enclosed
documentation to modules.
State in the execute_process how COMMAND arguments are passed to
the child. Add a note at the end about how the command differs
from add_custom_*().

target_link_libraries must populate link interface, 2013-11-02) in the
new location for the same documentation.
Add a :maxdepth: option to all toctree directives to limit their depth
to 1. We do not want subheadings from individual documents to pollute
the already large lists of CMake Domain objects.
In certain scenarios, it is preferable to keep a 'dirty' install prefix
than to clear it, and to expect that content will not be found there.
Add a CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX variable that can be set to disable
searching the install prefix.
Simply print out the lines as normal paragraph text. Teach the
CMakeLib.testRST test to cover this syntax. Update the
cmake-developer.7 manual to document support for the directives.
Add the man page description line as explicit markup at the top of each
Help/manual/*.rst file and scan it from conf.py to automatically
generate the man_pages Sphinx configuration value. This reduces the
number of places that need to be changed when a new manual is added.

Rename the Visual Studio >= 10 generators to indicate the version year:
Visual Studio 10 => Visual Studio 10 2010
Visual Studio 11 => Visual Studio 11 2012
Visual Studio 12 => Visual Stduio 12 2013
Report the names with the year to the list of available generators so
that the cmake-gui drop-down shows the years. When selecting a
generator from the "-G" option or from an existing CMAKE_GENERATOR cache
entry, recognize names without the years for compatibility and map them
to the names with years.
Update the generator names in the cmake-generators.7 manual.
ff6c401 cmTarget: Add interface for compatible numeric properties
e4e20c1 cmTarget: Add enumeration for consistency to expect from properties.
9877769 cmTarget: Assign consistent content back to the property being evaluated.
816b4a8 cmTarget: Make consistentProperty return consistent content.
030800a cmTarget: Add a template to create correct implied content.
The source files are already processed by cmQtAutomoc to look for
moc includes, so extend that to also look for ui_ includes and
find corresponding .ui files to process.
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.
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.
When scanning CMake module files for .rst comments, recognize
bracket comments starting in ".rst:" too. For example:
#[[.rst:
Include the bracket comment content terminated by the closing bracket.
Exclude the line containing the bracket if it starts in "#".
Teach the CMakeLib.testRST test to cover multiple bracket lengths
and ending brackets on lines with and without "#".
Update the cmake-developer.7 manual to document the bracket-comment
syntax for .rst documentation.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
The cmRST implementation and the list of capabilities documented in the
cmake-developer.7 manual must be kept in sync. Add a note to each file
to reference the other.
Document how CMake uses reStructuredText to provide the help manuals.
Cover supported inline markup and directives, the CMake Domain in
Sphinx, and cross-reference syntax.
Add "Module Documentation" and "Find Modules" subsections. Add to
Modules/readme.txt a textual reference to the cmake-developer.7 manual
and, while at it, fix the wiki URL domain.
Convert the content moved from Modules/readme.txt to valid
reStructuredText markup. Mainly, convert the lists of variables to
definition lists, wrap long lines in paragraph text, and add literal
block markup and indentation.
Move all content from Modules/readme.txt except for the link to the
module maintainers wiki page into "Help/manual/cmake-developer.7.rst".
This produces some invalid reStructuredText markup to be fixed in a
future commit.
Add cmCommand::Disallowed helper to check the setting of a policy that
disallows the command. Add a RunCMake.DisallowedCommands test
placeholder. Add a Help/policy/DISALLOWED_COMMAND.txt file for
inclusion by each policy document to avoid duplication of the common
text.
Add a string(CONCAT) command to simply concatenate input arguments
together. This will be useful for combining strings from different
quoting syntaxes. Add a RunCMake.string test covering these cases.
These two target properties serve the same purpose for different versions
of Visual Studio. Document the versions covered by each property.

Introduce a policy to control the behavior.
The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a
double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport
test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.

These policies were introduced after 2.8.12 in anticipation of 2.8.13.
However, we've now decided the next release will be 3.0.0, so update the
version of introduction accordingly.
Make the standard --help-* options available from all command-line
tools. Drop options that are no longer supported:
--copyright, --help-full, --help-html, --help-man,
--help-compatcommands, --help-custom-modules
De-duplicate Help/manual/*.1.rst help options by using an
OPTIONS_HELP.txt file included from each manual.
Add "Synopsis", "Description", and "See Also" manual page section
headers. These are typical of .1 man section pages. Also de-duplicate
the See Also section links using a separate LINKS.txt file included from
each manual.
It designed to search for implementation of backtrace(3) routine.
Currently it is used in OpenBSD Ports for building Clementine
music player.
A lot of input from brad.king@ and neundorf@.
Generator expressions are supported in many places and are a distinct
concept worthy of their own manual page. The old builtin documentation
was previously represented by preprocessor macros to generate it into
each place that supports them. Factor out the duplicate content into a
dedicated cmake-generator-expressions manual page and reference it from
each original location.
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS escaping disclaimer was represented in builtin
documentation using a preprocessor macro. Factor the duplicate content
out into a separate .txt file and include it in each document with the
reStructuredText include directive.
These documents were represented in the builtin documentation using a
common starting point with placeholders substituted by each command.
Convert them back to this approach using the reStructuredText include
directive and substitutions to avoid duplication.
Portions of these documents contain duplicate content generated from
preprocessor macros in the original builtin documentation source.
Factor the common parts out into .txt files using reStructuredText
include directives and substitutions to avoid duplication.
Add a top-level document holding the Sphinx root toctree. List all
reference manuals from Help/manual/*.rst and the Sphinx-generated
general index (genindex) and search pages.
Run "cmake --help-full cmake.1.rst" by hand on Windows and OS X.
Copy the generator/*.rst documents for generators unique to those
platforms into Help/generator.
