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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.

Revert the refactoring by commit v2.8.11~105^2~1 (Ninja: use MinGW
generator code in EnableLanguage, 2013-03-09) and move the MinGW-
specific logic back to the "MinGW Makefiles" generator. Instead teach
the platform information modules for GNU and MSVC on Windows to set the
preferred RC compiler just before enabling the RC language. This way
we choose the RC compiler based on the C/C++ toolchain that is actually
enabled.
The workaround added by commit 7e92f0b4 (Hack to make echo command work
properly in mingw32-make, 2006-10-05) and updated by commit 69356d8a
(Juse use cmake -E echo instead of the native echo, 2006-10-13) no
longer seems necessary with modern mingw32-make. Furthermore it slows
performance due to the time spent loading a cmake process instead of
plain echo.
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.
something like this:
ENABLE_LANGUAGE(ASM-ATT)
IF(CMAKE_ASM-ATT_COMPILER_WORKS)
... do assembler stufff
ELSE(CMAKE_ASM-ATT_COMPILER_WORKS)
... fallback to generic C/C++
ENDIF(CMAKE_ASM-ATT_COMPILER_WORKS)
