Recently we taught find_package to re-find a package configuration file
if it is given a wrong answer. This fixes the documentation to reflect
the change.
The documentation of cmake_policy PUSH and POP states that they must
always match. Previously we enforced this only for the top scope of
each CMakeLists.txt file. This enforces the requirement for all files.
This creates the variable CMAKE_VERSION containing the full version of
cmake in "major.minor.patch" format. It is particularly useful with the
component-wise version comparison provided by the if() command.
This uses an automatic variable to push and pop variable scope inside a
function call. Previously if the function failed its scope would not be
popped. This approach guarantees a balanced push/pop.
This splits the list of files for CTest to submit into those belonging
to each part. The set is recombined just before submission. Later this
will allow piecewise submissions.
This introduces the name "part" to denote a portion of the testing and
submission process performed by ctest. We generalize the boolean
indicating whether each part is enabled into a structure to which more
information can be added later. We provide bi-directional mapping
between part id and part names.
The previous approach to handling of arguments to ctest_* commands
worked only for keyword/value arguments with a single value. This
refactors the approach to allow some commands to define alternative
argument forms.
As it is today the generator creates linked resources to
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH and EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH if they are not a
subdirectory of the binary dir, so that the IDE can detect the
Binaries (this was addressed previously as a result of a bug report).
Reduces code redundancy by encapsulating common behaviour for
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH and EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH in AppendLinkedResource.
Addresses the two new variable names for these locations,
CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY respectively.
Finally, it is addressing a bug in the current code for relative paths
in these variables. If it is a relative path to the binary dir, the
IsSubdirectory call returns false and so it creates the linked
resource. The created linked resource produces an error in the Eclipse
IDE because the IDE expects it to be a full path. The patch now
addresses this by concatenating the binary dir if it is a relative
path.
The Generator="ctest..." attribute of Site elements in CTest-generated
XML files was missing a newline, causing the next attribute to appear on
the same line. This adds the newline.
The test is supposed to terminate quickly when its child crashes, but
that seems to take over 10s on busy systems. This extends the test's
timeout to 30s to help it pass when running on a busy system.
to by the Foo_DIR variable there is no FooConfig.cmake file, then instead of
abort and complain that the user should set or clear the Foo_DIR variables,
just search for the file and discard the old Foo_DIR contents
The tests succeed, ok by Brad.

When installing the main export file the install tree may be dirty. If
out-dated per-config files exist they may break the newly installed main
file which when it globs them. This teaches the installation script to
detect when it is about to replace the main export file with a different
one and cleans out any existing per-config files.
New method cmExportInstallFileGenerator::GetConfigImportFileGlob
computes the globbing expression that an installed export file uses to
load its per-configuration support files.
This moves management of the LC_MESSAGES environment variable into an
automatic variable. Previously if an error occurred the original
environment value was not restored. This makes the fix to issue #5936
more robust.
Previously we stored a vector of tests to preserve their order.
Property set/get operations would do a linear search for matching tests.
This uses a map to efficiently look up tests while keeping the original
order with a vector for test file generation.
When CTest detects that a test is running its own executable it
optimizes the test by using an internal instance of cmCTest instead of
creating a new process. However, the internal instance was using cout
and cerr directly. This redirects the output to a string stream to
avoid direct display of the internal test's output.
When CMake 2.4 generates the build tree for CMake itself it asks the
built CMake to install itself using the rules that 2.4 generated. Since
the install rules use undocumented commands that are not compatible from
2.4 to 2.6 we need a special case to avoid failure. This sets a special
indicator variable in the install rules that enables a compatibility
hack to support the old install rule format.
The internal file(INSTALL) command argument parsing used several
booleans with at most one set to true at a time to track argument
parsing state. This refactors it to use one enumeration.
The get_target_property command contained some outdated documentation of
the LOCATION and TYPE properties. This removes it since they are now
documented in the properties list section of the documentation.
Previously we left the LOCATION property undefined for imported targets
since it should no longer be used for non-imported targets. However, in
the case we do not know the name of an available imported configuration,
it is more readable to get the LOCATION property than LOCATION_<CONFIG>
for a bogus configuration <CONFIG>. This enables LOCATION for imported
targets and returns an unspecified available imported configuration.
The FATAL_ERROR to cmake_minimum_required is useful for projects that
require 2.6 to convince CMake 2.4 to error out. This clarifies its
usefulness in the documentation.
When cmake_minimum_required is called with an unknown argument it should
not complain about it if the version specified is in the future. This
allows the proper error to be shown about the current CMake being too
old.
When computing runtime search path ordering a constraint exists when a
file that may be found by the runtime search exists in a directory other
than that containing the desired file. We test whether a potential
conflict is really the same due to a symlink. Recently the change to
cmFindLibraryCommand to load directory content created a case in which
the same-file check would be incorrectly skipped. This avoids skipping
the check.
On Windows the KWSys System package generates escapes for command-line
arguments. This fix enables quoting of the empty string as an argument.
This also adds a test to pass an empty argument to a custom command.
When ctest --build-and-test runs the --test-command its output did not
quote the arguments of the command being tested making it difficult to
read. This adds the quotes. This also changes the wording of the
failure case to not sound like CTest could not run the executable when
in fact it ran and returned failure.
When CTest encounters a test whose executable is the ctest executable
iteslf, it just invokes code inside itself to avoid starting a new
process. This fixes a null-pointer dereference in the logging code of
that case.
The command argument lexer was recently regenerated which erased some
fixes that had been applied directly to the output. This restores the
fixes and adds reminder notes in the generation instructions.
The command argument parser code is generated by bison. This change
restores some fixes previously applied to the generated output that were
destroyed by regenerating the parser source. This time the fixes have
been put in the input file so regenerating the parser will not destroy
them again.
We now search in
<prefix>/<name>*/
<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)
when looking for package configuration files. This is useful on Windows
since the Program Files folder is in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH. These
paths are the Windows equivalent to the Apple convention application and
framework paths we already search. See issue #8264.
The $ENV{VAR} syntax permits access to environment variables. This
teaches CMake to recognize most characters in the VAR name since some
environments may have variables with non-C-identifier characters.
