When kwsys is built using GCC visibility support can be used. This is similar
to the way that Windows exports symbols in DLLs, and requires projects that
build kwsys to change the default visibility using some compiler flags. See
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility for more details about GCC visibility.
We suppress Intel warning 1572 because the cases where we do equality
tests are valid. Since this project does not do numerical computations
we need not worry about real instances against which this warning
protects.
This converts the KWSys license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the KWSys copyright to
cover the full development time range.
All KWSys C symbol names begin with the KWSYS_NAMESPACE defined at
configuration time. For ease of editing we write canonical names with
the prefix 'kwsys' and use macros to map them to the configured prefix
at preprocessing time. In the case of standalone KWSys, the prefix is
'kwsys', so the macros were previously defined to their own names.
We now skip defining the macros in the identity case so that the final
symbol names are never themselves macros. This will allow the symbols
to be further transformed behind the scenes to help linkers in special
cases on some platforms.
