This module was added by commit v2.6.0~1489 (...supporting embedded
compilers..., 2007-07-02) to avoid needing to build the compiler id
detection source on toolchains that need special flags or linker files
to produce executables. Since then CMake has learned other ways to
identify such compilers (e.g. passing vendor-specific version flags and
checking for vendor-specific banners in the output). Furthermore, CMake
now detects a lot more than just the compiler id during language
initialization in order to support things like <LANG>_STANDARD and
COMPILE_FEATURES. Therefore CMakeForceCompiler is no longer a viable
approach because it skips such detection.
One remaining challenge to support toolchains that require special
linker files is to build the test for a working compiler, compiler ABI
detection binary, and other try_compile cases. This will have to be
worked out as such cases are encountered.
The change made by commit v3.4.0-rc1~342^2 (Factor an <INCLUDES>
placeholder out of <FLAGS> in rule variables, 2015-07-13) affects an
internal interface. Since it is commonly used by projects anyway, add a
release note covering the change in placeholders.
Starting with sigc++ 2.5.1, c++11 must be enabled in order to use
sigc++. The GTK2::sigc++ imported target will automatically enable the
required build flags in order to build with the version found on the
system.
CMake assumes that a SHARED library compiled on Windows will export a LIB file.
This is not actually the case on Visual C++ if the library does not export any
symbols, and causes incremental builds to break if the user specifies SHARED
anyway. (Users should use MODULE libraries instead.)
Revert commit v3.4.0-rc1~10^2~2 (Features: Disable support for Oracle
SolarisStudio on non-Linux, 2015-09-29) and two follow-up commits.
The support of compile features and language standards on Orcale
SolarisStudio needs more investigation so for CMake 3.4 we should
just act as 3.3 did.

Teach CMakeDetermineSystem to check for a CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION setting
even when CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is not set. This will allow builds on the
host OS to target other versions of the OS without full cross-compiling.
On SunOS the -std=c++11 flag must be used for linking as well as
compiling. Until we implement support for this we cannot support
the CXX_STANDARD property except on Linux (where it was tested).

Some commands on Windows do not understand forward slash paths and
require backslashes. In order to help projects generate shell
invocations of such commands, provide a generator expression to convert
paths to the shell-preferred path format for the current generator.
This will allow custom commands to generate paths the same way CMake
does for compiler command invocations.
The latter is now the preferred URL for visiting cmake.org with a
browser. Convert using the shell code:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's|http://www\.cmake|https://cmake|g'

Set policy CMP0065 to the value used in the calling project.
Set the the value of CMAKE_ENABLE_EXPORTS if set in the calling

If variable is set to TRUE, values of all variables prefixed with CPACK_

The calls to find_program now use NAMES_PER_DIR so that the first executable
(e.g. h5pcc) appearing on their PATH will get chosen. The HDF5_PREFER_PARALLEL
variable swaps the search order when it is set to true in the event that a
directory being search contains both h5cc and h5pcc.
Mangling is prevented by using a function instead of a macro for setting
default value of some CPack variables. Function is meant for internal use
in CPack.cmake only.
Old macro is deprecated but kept for backwards compatibility - was
intended for internal use only as it can't be used for CPack after
CPack.cmake script is included.
Patch removes local workarounds that were required by old macro,
fixes default setting of variables that by default inherit value from
another variable that already went through old default setting macro
(e.g. value of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY caused error for
wrong escapes if CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY contained escaped
back slashes) and provides a test for correct escaping of characters.

Add an OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS option to enable it. Adjust
CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES to only look for .a and .lib files. Also
adjust the search paths on Windows for installer locations of static
libraries.
Provide each variant in ZLIB_LIBRARIES and ZLIB::ZLIB imported location
properties when one is found, while maintaining support for manually
setting the library via ZLIB_LIBRARY.
When more than one value is given to the NAMES option this command by
default will consider one name at a time and search every directory for
it. Add a NAMES_PER_DIR option to tell this command to consider one
directory at a time and search for all names in it.
In CMake 3.0, the load_command command was deprecated. However, the
position of load_command in the help TOC was not fixed at that time:
it was still listed as a "Normal Command".
Improve formatting, primarily by:
* Adding links to relevant commands, properties, generators, and so on.
* Converting code, symbols, paths, and so on to fixed-width fonts.
* Hard wrapping lines to 80 characters or less.
In the get_filename_component command, add a new BASE_DIR parameter to
use with the ABSOLUTE and REALPATH options. This will be used when
finding an absolute path from a relative path.
Use the CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC and CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC
variables to initialize the LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC and
LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC target properties respectively.
If {ARCHIVE,LIBRARY,RUNTIME}_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is set with a genex then
do not add the per-config subdirectory on multi-config generators.
This will allow projects to use $<CONFIG> to place the per-config
part of the directory path somewhere other than the end.

if(TEST TestNameThatExists) will return true if a test with the name
TestNameThatExists has been added with add_test. The syntax is similar
to if(TARGET TargetName). Since use of "TEST" as an argument to if()
could previously be interpreted as a non-keyword argument, add policy
CMP0064 to treat it as a keyword as NEW behavior.
Refactor the -Wdev and -Wno-dev to use a generic -W parser that follows
the GCC pattern. Include support for setting CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED and
CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED via the deprecated warning. Add -Werror=dev and
-Wno-error=dev options so that dev warning options are in line with
deprecated warning options. Use a new CMAKE_SUPPRESS_DEVELOPER_ERRORS
internal cache entry to store the above new dev options persistently.
Add tests for new options and updated cmake documentation and release
notes to list new options.
The --trace option is helpful, but sometimes, what you're looking for is
deep under many layers of function calls and figuring out what instance
of the function call you're looking at is tedious to determine (usually
involving patching and message()). Instead, add a --trace-expand option
to trace while expanding commands into what CMake actually sees.
It costs an extra cmMakefile member and extra code to maintain in
directory property handling. Remove documentation note that it
is read-only and specify high-level command to populate it.
Add variable CTEST_CHANGE_ID to configure the setting. This allows
CTest clients to give CDash information about what change is being
tested so that CDash can take actions to report the results (e.g. to a
pull request page).
Drop the partial documentation of properties from the command
documentation and reference the main properties manual instead.
Otherwise readers may not realize there are many more properties.
Extend the Nsight Tegra project generator to add bunch of properties
with the backing variables to fine-tune the generated projects.
Add target properties that map to all "Configuration" PropertyGroups for

* ANDROID_ARCH

Add target properties that map to the AntBuild section of vcxproj files:
* ANDROID_ANT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS

Allow the `Swift` language to be enabled with the Xcode generator for
Xcode >= 6.1. Reject it on other generators and with older Xcode
versions. Since Apple is the only vendor implementing the language
right now, the compiler id can be just `Apple`.
Added new USES_TERMINAL option to the ExternalProject_Add_Step
function. This option passes USES_TERMINAL to the underlying
add_custom_command call so that the Ninja console pool is used.
Also, corresponding new USES_TERMINAL_<step> options were added
to the ExternalProject_Add function.
Justification: if using Ninja with a CMake superbuild, it's often
desirable to limit the superbuild to ONE sub-Ninja process at a
time to avoid oversubscribing the CPU. Using the console pool also
makes it easy to monitor the progress of the sub-Ninja process.
Independent USES_TERMINAL_<step> arguments are passed to
ExternalProject_Add instead of one USES_TERMINAL argument that
controls everything. Users may wish to run some steps in parallel
but not others (e.g. parallelize configure but not build).
Create target property WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS to automatically
generate a module definition file from MS-compatible .obj files and give
it to the linker in order to export all symbols from the .dll part of a
SHARED library.
Add a TestLoad setting to CTest that can be set via a new --test-load
command-line option, CTEST_TEST_LOAD variable, or TEST_LOAD option to
the ctest_test command. Teach cmCTestMultiProcessHandler to measure
the CPU load and avoid starting tests that may take more than the
spare load currently available. The expression
<current_load> + <test_processors> <= <max-load>
must be true to start a new test.

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.
The most likely documentation page a project author will read in

Revert commit v3.3.0-rc1~435^2 (Windows-GNU: Do not tell find_library to
treat '.dll' as linkable, 2015-02-18). MinGW tools support linking to
'.dll' files directly and many non-CMake build systems still do not
provide a separate '.dll.a' file.
When documenting in the COMMAND option how to reference an executable,
we previously only explicitly covered how to do it for argv[0] and left
it to the reader to follow the reference to the generator expressions
manual. Add explicit mention of the TARGET_FILE genex in this
documentation since it will be a commonly used generator expression in
this context.
The test for this variable was removed in commit v2.8.8~330^2~7 (complex:
Remove ancient unused ComplexRelativePaths test, 2011-12-23).
Commit v3.1.0-rc1~425^2~2 (backtrace: Convert to local paths in
IssueMessage, 2014-03-12) appears to have accidentally made some backtraces
print relative paths with the variable because conversions which used to be
done at configure time, before the variable had an effect are now potentially
done at generate time.
The documentation of the variable says not to use it, and the docs are wrong in
that the variable actually applies in per-directory scope.
The read of the variable makes it harder to split conversion methods from
cmLocalGenerator where they don't belong. Remove it now.
Add section headers similar to the 3.2 release notes and move each

Reference the new document from the release notes index document.
Add a title and intro sentence to the new document by hand.
CMake-generated targets are not supported by add_dependencies. State
this explicitly and use 'install' as an example since this may be
commonly attempted.
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.
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.

The find_package command, on Windows, has always searched build trees
recently visited by cmake-gui (or CMakeSetup at one time). This was
done when the command was created with the intention of simplifying
workflows involving building multiple dependent projects. However,
this behavior depends on recent developer interaction and therefore
can create different find results based on transient system states.
It can lead to surprising results and user confusion.
Since this behavior was first added CMake has gained many more search
options, better error messages when a package is not found, and a
package registry. The latter in particular allows projects to make
their build trees available for dependent projects to find without
user intervention. Therefore the originally intended workflow can
be achieved in other, more stable ways.
After the above evoluion of find_package we have now decided that
the magic search-where-cmake-gui-was behavior does more harm than
good. Drop it. We do not need a policy for this behavior change
because it only affects interactive use.
Use the KWSys Process "MergeOutput" option to give the child process

I misdiagnosed the underlying issue that prompted creation of policy CMP0057.
The actual issue surfaces when a single custom command's MAIN_DEPENDENCY
is listed in more than one target; this issue will have to be addressed
independently.
The previous example for CMP0054 did not show how critical the policy is
since the result is the same in both cases (NEW and OLD behavior).
Instead show an example when the policy does make a difference.
Add sections to the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual and cross-reference

The UPPERCASE name was inconsistent with config-packages, the

882f48e5 Link libraries by full path even in implicit directories
318cd370 Help: Add link target for Find Modules section of cmake-developer.7
1535dcd8 Tests: Teach RunCMake to optionally merge command output to stdout
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.

overriden by setting the VS_XAML_TYPE property. The .cpp and .h file
of the same name are automatically added as depending on the XAML file.

Many places in our documentation refer to "Makefile Generators" or
"Visual Studio" generators as a group of generators. Give such
places a linkable document section to reference since they cannot
cross-reference the individual generators in the groups.
Explain at the beginning of the section the requirements for a package
to be relocatable to justify the rest of the section content.
Generalize example to use fictional package names instead of real ones,
especially because FindBoost provides no alternative yet. Reword the
discussion to represent the preferred approach as "ideal" but also
suggest workarounds when find modules do not provide the imported
targets.
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.
These notes apply only for the use case of creating a package for
redistribution on machines other than that where it is built. Clarify
this to readers by placing the discussion in dedicated sections titled
accordingly.
Beginning in CUDA 5.5 a static version of the cuda runtime library
became available. Since nvcc defaults to using this library over the
shared version, FindCUDA will also default to using this version. There
are many advantages to using the static version (most importantly to
avoid conflicts with multiple versions when building a CUDA based
library). Offer a CUDA_USE_STATIC_CUDA_RUNTIME option to control
this behavior.
Add policy CMP0059 to cover this change. The property has been
deprecated since CMake 2.4 anyway.
This will help clean up cmMakefile -- the DefineFlagsOrig member should
not need to exist.
Much of the information in the old set() command documentation is now
covered in the cmake-language(7) manual. Rewrite the documentation
with this in mind. Split up the signatures for each kind of variable
into different subsections.
Make wording of the directory and target properties more consitent
and complementary. Specify that the value is a ";-list" with a link
to the cmake-language(7) manual section on lists.
Revert commit v3.0.0-rc1~175^2~20 (add_dependencies: Disallow use with
INTERFACE_LIBRARY, 2013-12-25). Teach our dependency analysis to
transitively follow INTERFACE target utility dependencies as was done or
IMPORTED targets in commit v2.8.6~127^2~1 (Allow add_dependencies() on
imported targets, 2010-11-19). Extend the InterfaceLibrary test with a
case to cover header generation for a header-only INTERFACE library via
a custom target.
Extend the ``DATA{Dir/,...}`` syntax with a new ``RECURSE:`` option
to enable recursive matching of associated files. This will allow
an entire directory tree of data to be referenced at once.

Add policy CMP0058 to avoid generating 'phony' ninja rules for unknown
custom command dependencies. This requires projects to specify their
custom command byproducts explicitly. With this requirement we no
longer have to assume that unknown custom command dependencies are
generated and can instead simply assume they are source files expected
to exist when the build starts. This is particularly important in
in-source builds. It is also helpful for out-of-source builds to allow
Ninja to diagnose missing files before running custom command rules that
depend on them.
GLOB lists directories by default and GLOB_RECURSE does not.
LIST_DIRECTORIES enables user to control the behavior explicitly for
consistently for both GLOB and GLOB_RECURSE.
Implement a brand new FindMatlab module:
- Add support for versions and components.
- Find Matlab and its version in a more precise and multiplatform way.
- Add API to create a new mex extension with documentation.
- Add API to add matlab unit tests (with or without the unit test framework).
- Find as much as possible based on a single Matlab_ROOT_DIR cache entry
and allow the user to change it to re-find everything.

Previously the module did not support projects using installation
components because install(PROGRAMS) was never called with COMPONENT.
Add an option to specify the COMPONENT so that projects doing this do
not have to resort to using CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_SKIP and
writing the install rule by hand.

Since jsoncpp 0.7.0 (2014-11-20) the upstream may provide a CMake
package configuration file such that find_package(jsoncpp) will find a
jsoncppConfig.cmake file. In order to avoid conflicting with this
(especially on case-insensitive filesystems), and since we always prefer
projects to provide package config files (that they maintain), it is
better to not provide FindJsonCpp publicly.
Move FindJsonCpp into a private source directory that is not installed
so that we can still use it for building CMake itself.
Reported-by: Ryan Pavlik <ryan.pavlik@gmail.com>
The find_package command already knows how to compute installation
prefixes from PATH. Use the same approach to establish prefixes for
find_library, find_file, and find_path to use to look in directories
like "<prefix>/lib[/<arch>]" and "<prefix>/include" for libraries and
headers. This will reduce the amount of configuration end users need to
do to establish a work environment rooted under a specific prefix.

Pre-C++98 compilers required that the template argument be
used in the function parameters. Those compilers are no longer
supported as hosts, so drop the workaround.
This will allow us to use a value other than just the config name
for the project OutputDirectory setting used for $(OutDir).
Also use $(ConfigurationName) instead of $(OutDir) for the link
directory configuration suffix since that is a hard-coded instance of
a use case for CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR.
This will allow per-config destinations for targets in EXPORT sets.
Using multiple install(TARGETS) with separate CONFIGURATIONS is
rejected as a target appearing more than once in an export set.
Now instead one can write
install(TARGETS foo EXPORT exp DESTINATION lib/$<CONFIG>)
to get a single logical membership of the target in the export set
while still having a per-config destination.
