2d738ce3 Help: Add notes for topic 'feature_record_msvc'
f73718c9 Features: Enable writing of MSVC compiler feature header.
64c30bdc Features: Record for MSVC C++ 2015 and MSVC C 2010-2015.
225c0ef8 Features: Record for MSVC 2010-2013.
a15675ef Features: Quote all compiler names when comparing with COMPILER_ID
07d1f6fc Features: Properly evaluate if the compiler supports cxx_final.
6296192d Features: Add a comment explaining part of test.
c13656e7 Features: Test nullptr as a side-effect activation of static_assert.
3e34e833 Features: Test feature propagation with more-common features.
b3e86f4e Features: Test an expectation of whether OVERRIDE_CONTROL is expected
Notes:
VS2015 and above are the only MSVC versions to support cxx_final, so remove
usages from the tests, and instead only test for cxx_override.
VS2012 and above to conform to cxx_decltype_incomplete_return_types
proposal, but without support for auto return types the dcl.type.simple
example in the proposal doesn't compile.
VS2013 and above to conform to the updated cxx_contextual_conversions proposal,
but VS2010 and above pass the test.
Compilers such as MSVC have no explicit flags to enable C++11 mode,
it just is always on. So only run the link tests with compilers that require
a flag to specify the language version.
SolarisStudio ships a very old RogueWave standard library
implementation (libCstd) and uses it by default for backward compatibility.
The macros defined when building the system libCstd need to be the same as
the macros defined when using it for binary compatibility reasons etc. The
SolarisStudio compiler driver adds macros such as _RWSTD_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATES and
_RWSTD_NO_CLASS_PARTIAL_SPEC etc. These macros disable certain APIs in the
standard library headers.
Although the compiler supports the features 'member templates' and 'partial
template specialization', the standard library does not provide APIs which
rely on those features. This means that std::vector::insert in libCStd does
not accept a pair of iterators from a different type of container, because
that requires member templates, and reverse_iterator<const T> can not
be constructed from a reverse_iterator<T> because that requires partial
specialization (or at least the _RWSTD_NO_CLASS_PARTIAL_SPEC define) and
member templates.
This causes many problems while building CMake using SolarisStudio, which
have not been well understood until now. The problems are usually
attributed to compiler limitations, while actually the problem is in
the standard library, as in commit v3.0.0-rc1~99^2~1 (Help: Document non-use
of std::set::insert., 2014-01-24) and commit 107dcac3 (Fix compilation with
the Oracle / Sun compiler (#15318), 2014-12-12).
SolarisStudio 12.3 and earlier also ships a version of stlport which may be
used instead of libCstd by specifying -library=stlport4
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18659_01/html/821-1383/bkakg.html
SolarisStudio 12.4 ships a version of libstdc++ from GCC 4.8.2 which may be
used by specifying -std=c++03 or -std=c++11 etc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37069_01/html/E37075/bkamw.html#OSSCPgnaof
Use these more-capable standard library implementations when building cmake.
This will allow more use of 'normal' C++ (such as std::vector::insert), and cause
fewer surprises resulting from dashboards using SolarisStudio.
Because cmake is not a library linked against by 3rd parties and does not have
external dependencies, issues related to mixing code using libCStd and libstdc++
do not apply.
Initializer lists are only properly supported in 2015 and above.
Previous Visual Studio releases said they supported initializer lists
but silently produced bad code.
Previously we expanded HAVE_FINAL to determine what the copied_file number
would be, but when we don't have cxx_final than HAVE_FINAL is not defined.
What we really want is to use expected_result.

For complex*, CustomCommand and OutDir tests, non-ascii paths
are avoided in test code by using relative paths, and setting
the working when running the test. This also avoids the
need to internationalize the test code.
For RunCMake.GeneratorExpression, use a UTF-8 encoding in
file(STRINGS) to retrieve the compiled absolute path correctly.
This requires the input range to supply BidirectionalIterators, which
is not a problem for where it is currently useful to us. The alternative
would be to not invoke --last;, and instead create an output iterator
similar to std::ostream_iterator, but which puts the delimiter before
the item to output.
