There is no need for a "cmake_automoc" backward compatibility command
because it is internal, undocumented, and only executed from a matching
version of cmake.
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.
Otherwise, in the string case, we would get a null pointer instead
of the implied empty string. That will become relevant when the
comparison result is used.
* added CUDA_TOOLKIT_TARGET_DIR CMake variable that used
to locate headers and libraries for target platform
* added CUDA_TARGET_CPU_ARCH which is set to ARM for
arm cross-compilation and is used to add
--target-cpu-architecture NVCC flag
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.
Teach the CMake language lexer to treat the \-LF pair terminating a
line ending in an odd number of backslashes inside a quoted argument
as a continuation. Drop the pair from the returned quoted argument
token text. This will allow long lines inside quoted argument
strings to be divided across multiple lines in the source file.
It will also allow quoted argument text to start on the line after
the opening quote. For example, the code:
set(x "\
...")
sets variable "x" to the value "..." with no opening newline.
Previously an odd number of backslashes at the end of a line inside
a quoted argument would put a \-LF pair (or a \-CR pair) literally
in the argument. Then the command-argument evaluator would complain
that the \-escape sequence is invalid. Therefore this syntax is
available to use without changing behavior of valid existing code.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover cases of quoted arguments
with lines ending in \, \\, and \\\. Odd counts are continuations.
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.
d169b1f Genex: Use cmArraySize for targetPolicyWhitelist
86d5d80 Genex: Remove use of TransitiveWhitelistCompare
73d7705 Add some templates for cleaner array iteration.
Other warnings for the same policy already have similar output since
commit 81d2793e (Add differing target property content to policy CMP0022
warning, 2013-09-11).
Even though this variable gets set to CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER-NOTFOUND when
the compiler is not found, CMake<LANG>Compiler.cmake gets removed by
cmGlobalGenerator::EnableLanguage so in try compiles the value is empty.
Quote references to the variable in
Modules/CMake(C|CXX|Fortran)Information.cmake
Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake
to avoid dropping arguments from commands that expect them.
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.
