When computing runtime search path ordering a constraint exists when a
file that may be found by the runtime search exists in a directory other
than that containing the desired file. We test whether a potential
conflict is really the same due to a symlink. Recently the change to
cmFindLibraryCommand to load directory content created a case in which
the same-file check would be incorrectly skipped. This avoids skipping
the check.
The new 'testing' test behavior of actually running the tests generated
by the project still fails when the test script guesses the Debug
configuration but the CMake build tree was only built Release. The
inner ctest needs to find the ctest executable but is given the wrong
configuration.
The recent change of the 'testing' test to actually drive the tests
within it does not work on Windows with released CMakes 2.6.2 and lower
if no configuration is given to ctest with a -C option. This works
around the problem by detecting the case and changing the empty
configuration to Debug.
On Windows the KWSys System package generates escapes for command-line
arguments. This fix enables quoting of the empty string as an argument.
This also adds a test to pass an empty argument to a custom command.
The 'testing' CMake test builds a project that uses add_test. This
strengthens the test to actually run CTest on the project build tree
after building it.
When ctest --build-and-test runs the --test-command its output did not
quote the arguments of the command being tested making it difficult to
read. This adds the quotes. This also changes the wording of the
failure case to not sound like CTest could not run the executable when
in fact it ran and returned failure.
When CTest encounters a test whose executable is the ctest executable
iteslf, it just invokes code inside itself to avoid starting a new
process. This fixes a null-pointer dereference in the logging code of
that case.
The command argument lexer was recently regenerated which erased some
fixes that had been applied directly to the output. This restores the
fixes and adds reminder notes in the generation instructions.
The command argument parser code is generated by bison. This change
restores some fixes previously applied to the generated output that were
destroyed by regenerating the parser source. This time the fixes have
been put in the input file so regenerating the parser will not destroy
them again.
We now search in
<prefix>/<name>*/
<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)
when looking for package configuration files. This is useful on Windows
since the Program Files folder is in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH. These
paths are the Windows equivalent to the Apple convention application and
framework paths we already search. See issue #8264.
On 64-bit Windows there may be two Program Files folders, one for 32-bit
binaries and one for 64-bit binaries. When we compute
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH we should put both folders in the path.
The $ENV{VAR} syntax permits access to environment variables. This
teaches CMake to recognize most characters in the VAR name since some
environments may have variables with non-C-identifier characters.
For bug #7191.
Improvements to the dialog that sets up the first configure.
Fixing the large size of it by breaking it up into a wizard.
Also incorporated suggestions from bug report.
When the find_package command loads a <name>-version.cmake file to test
the package version it must prevent the version file from affecting
policy settings. Therefore the policy settings must be pushed and
popped.
Generated cmake_install.cmake script code used MATCHES to compare
component names. This does not support characters considered special by
regular expression syntax in component names. This change uses STREQUAL
instead. See issue #8256.
When an object file directory is too deep to place an object file
without exceeding CMAKE_OBJECT_PATH_MAX, this issues a warning.
Previously we silently ignored the problem. See issue #7860.
When computing the maximum length full path to the build directory under
which object files will be placed, pass the actual path instead of just
its length. This will be useful for error message generation.
The previous change to test finding in lib/cmake/<name>* weakened the
versioned find tests. Since the lib/cmake paths are searched before
lib/<name>* paths the previous change skipped requiring the command to
ignore zot-3.0 when finding zot-3.1. This change restores that and adds
zot-4.0 to test the lib/cmake path.
The CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX variable and <CONFIG>_POSTFIX property were
not documented. This updates the CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX and DEBUG_POSTFIX
documentation to refer to the more general variable/property. It also
clarifies that the variable is used as the property default only for
non-executable targets. See issue #7868.
