698f7597 Add options to launch the compiler through tools like ccache or distcc
2015-06-15 09:45:28 -04:00
Bill Hoffman 698f75971b Add options to launch the compiler through tools like ccache or distcc
Create a <LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER target property (initialized by a
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER variable) to specify a compiler launcher
tool.  This will supersede the CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ARG1 approach to
using such tools.  The old approach set CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to the
launcher tool while the new approach leaves this variable set to the
actual compiler.

Implement this property for Makefile and Ninja generators.  It cannot be
implemented for VS or Xcode generators as the IDE build tools offer no
such hooks.

Brad King 482a3bf3f0 Help: Document explicitly that policy OLD behavior is deprecated
The most likely documentation page a project author will read in
response to a policy warning is the page for the policy itself.
Add to every policy documentation page a note explicitly stating
that the OLD behavior is deprecated.  Also mention this in the
cmake_policy() command documentation that explains how to set a
policy to OLD.

Erik Sjölund a9b1838f97 Help: Fix typo in cmake-compile-features(7) manual (#15594)
target_link_libraries() is being used in the example code but
target_include_directories() was probably meant to be used. The sentence
that starts with "Consuming code then" indicates that the example is
about using the appropriate include directory.

Brad King 700f1c3b2b Honor visibility properties for all target types (#15556)
The <LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET and VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN were first
merged in commit v2.8.12~322 (Merge topic 'VISIBILITY_PRESET-property',
2013-06-05) but worked only for shared libraries and executables with
exports.  Prior to commit v3.0.0-rc1~581^2 (GenerateExportHeader:
Deprecate add_compiler_export_flags function., 2013-09-02) the
add_compiler_export_flags function was used to add visibility flags to
all targets.

The visibility flags are useful for sources in all target types because
they may be later linked into shared libraries or executables with
exports.  Introduce policy CMP0063 to enable them for all target types
while preserving compatibility with existing projects that do not expect
this.

Brad King deec97d8ec Revert "Qbs: Add new 'extra' generator for qbs project files"
This reverts commit f85db2f323.

Discussion by the QtCreator community at

  https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-13695

raises concerns about this particular approach to working with CMake
projects using QtCreator.  Also, the functionality and design of the QBS
extra generator was never discussed on the CMake mailing list or with
QtCreator developers.  There may be better ways to make the two tools
work together.

In order to avoid committing to long-term support of this generator
prior to such discussion taking place, revert it from CMake for now.
We may restore this or use an alternative design based on results of
such discussion.

Brad King 7244e8452f ctest: Consolidate documentation of CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS (#15533)
The documentation of this variable in the CTest module is outdated
and has been superseded by the ctest(1) manual.  In particular, the
latter mentions that it works with the Ninja generator as well as
makefile generators.  Remove the documentation from the CTest module
and replace it with a link to the main variable documentation (which
already references the ctest(1) manual).

Green Hills MULTI is an IDE for embedded real-time systems.  The IDE's
product page can be found here:

 http://www.ghs.com/products/MULTI_IDE.html

It supports cross compiling on ARM, Intel x86, and other architectures
with various operating systems.  The IDE exists on Linux and Windows
host systems, but CMake will currently only generate the project files
on Windows host systems.

Brad King 882f48e5ba Link libraries by full path even in implicit directories
When CMP0003 was first introduced we wanted to link all libraries by
full path.  However, some projects had problems on platforms where
find_library would find /usr/lib/libfoo.so when the project really
wanted to link to /usr/lib/<arch>/libfoo.so and had been working by
accident because pre-CMP0003 behavior used -lfoo to link.

We first tried to address that in commit v2.6.0~440 (Teach find_library
to avoid returning library paths in system directories, 2008-01-23) by
returning just "foo" for libraries in implicit link directories.  This
caused problems for projects expecting find_library to always return a
full path.  We ended up using the solution in commit v2.6.0~366 (...
switch library paths found in implicit link directories to use -l,
2008-01-31).  However, the special case for libraries in implicit link
directories has also proven problematic and confusing.

Introduce policy CMP0060 to switch to linking all libraries by full path
even if they are in implicit link directories.  Explain in the policy
documentation the factors that led to the original approach and now to
this approach.

Brad King 227992c3a6 Help: Reorganize and refine discussion of relocatable packages
Re-organize the content added to the cmake-packages(7) manual by

* commit v3.0.0-rc1~184^2 (Help: Document export(EXPORT) in the
  cmake-packages manual, 2013-12-23),

* commit v3.0.0-rc1~154^2~1 (Help: Add notes about relocatability
  of config-file packages, 2014-01-07), and

* commit v3.2.0-rc1~345^2 (Help: Warn that paths should not be used
  in INTERFACE_ build properties, 2014-11-22).

These commits broke the natural flow of the original manual and made
wording after the new content make less sense.  Move the content into
new subsections to restore the flow of the original manual and to
make explicitly the purpose of the new content.

Shorten the relocatable usage requirement "warnings".  Refer to the
new cmake-packages(7) manual subsection to reduce duplication.  Also
clarify the distinction between paths to library dependencies and
paths to their header files.
