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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Since commit 14a8d61f (cmMakefile: Port nested error logic away from
cmExecutionStatus) we fail to continue processing function and macro
bodies after non-fatal errors. A non-fatal error should not stop
foreach loops, macro bodies, nested bodies, or the outer script.
Add a test covering these cases, and revert the change to fix them.
Also revert commit 2af853de (cmMakefile: Simplify IssueMessage
implementation) because the assertion it added (which was removed by the
above commit and is restored by reverting it) is incorrect. We do have
code paths that call cmMakefile::IssueMessage with an empty execution
stack, such as in CheckForUnusedVariables's LogUnused call.
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.
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.
- Add cmMakefile methods IssueError and IssueWarning
- Maintain an explicit call stack in cmMakefile
- Include context/call-stack info in messages
- Nested errors now unwind the call stack
- Use new mechanism for policy warnings and errors
- Improve policy error message
- Include cmExecutionStatus pointer in call stack
so that errors deeper in the C++ stack under
a command invocation will become errors for the
command
