Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Use recommended case for variable names. i.e. matching name of the
module as passed to `find_package`.
For backwards compatibility, the upper case versions of both input and
output variables are used and defined when appropriate. Skip this for
the _FOUND variable because FPHSA already does it. Skip this for the
_VERSION variable because that was recently added and never available
with the old name in a release of CMake.
Check found libraries version to match user required version.
Protobuf compiler executable version is checked to be aligned with found
libraries, raising a warning message otherwise.
Before this change, the variable PROTOBUF_LIBRARIES might get redundant
value for debug and optimized configurations, e.g.
`optimized;/usr/lib/libprotobuf.so;debug;/usr/lib/libprotobuf.so`.
All other modules use their module name (e.g. XxX for FindXxX.cmake) in
find_package_handle_standard_args. Protobuf used all-caps, which triggers
a bug when we try to find Protobuf with the CMakeFindDependencyMacro.cmake
macro, which only checks for the mixed-case _FOUND.
Protobuf 2.6.x and lower do not use CMake (cmake is usable in Protobuf
3.x) but provide legacy Visual Studio projects files. Search their
output directories in 64-bit builds.
After updating from Protocol Buffers 2.5.0 to 2.6.0 compilation of the
generated source failed: "This file was generated by an older version of
protoc which is incompatible with your Protocol Buffer headers. Please
regenerate this file with a newer version of protoc.".
Turns out the source and headers generated by way of
FindProtobuf.cmake:PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP aren't updated. Adding a
dependency on the compiler executable fixes this issue.
Modify FindProtobuf.cmake to find the pthread library on UNIX platforms,
and to add the same to PROTOBUF_LIBRARIES, as this is a link dependency
of libraries using the protobuf headers.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
Added support for additional import paths during protoc invocation
time to the PROTOBUF_GENERATE_CPP public macro via a new
PROTOBUF_IMPORT_DIRS optional variable.

The FindPackageHandleStandardArgs module was originally created outside
of CMake. It was added for CMake 2.6.0 by commit e118a627 (add a macro
FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS..., 2007-07-18). However, it also
proliferated into a number of other projects that at the time required
only CMake 2.4 and thus could not depend on CMake to provide the module.
CMake's own find modules started using the module in commit b5f656e0
(use the new FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS in some of the FindXXX
modules..., 2007-07-18).
Then commit d358cf5c (add 2nd, more powerful mode to
find_package_handle_standard_args, 2010-07-29) added a new feature to
the interface of the module that was fully optional and backward
compatible with all existing users of the module. Later commit 5f183caa
(FindZLIB: use the FPHSA version mode, 2010-08-04) and others shortly
thereafter started using the new interface in CMake's own find modules.
This change was also backward compatible because it was only an
implementation detail within each module.
Unforutnately these changes introduced a problem for projects that still
have an old copy of FindPackageHandleStandardArgs in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.
When any such project uses one of CMake's builtin find modules the line
include(FindPackageHandleStandardArgs)
loads the copy from the project which does not have the new interface!
Then the including find module tries to use the new interface with the
old module and fails.
Whether this breakage can be considered a backward incompatible change
in CMake is debatable. The situation is analagous to copying a standard
library header from one version of a compiler into a project and then
observing problems when the next version of the compiler reports errors
in its other headers that depend on its new version of the original
header. Nevertheless it is a change to CMake that causes problems for
projects that worked with previous versions.
This problem was discovered during the 2.8.3 release candidate cycle.
It is an instance of a more general problem with projects that provide
their own versions of CMake modules when other CMake modules depend on
them. At the time we resolved this instance of the problem with commit
b0118402 (Use absolute path to FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake
everywhere, 2010-09-28) for the 2.8.3 release.
In order to address the more general problem we introduced policy
CMP0017 in commit db44848f (Prefer files from CMAKE_ROOT when including
from CMAKE_ROOT, 2010-11-17). That change was followed by commit
ce28737c (Remove usage of CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR now that we have
CMP0017, 2010-12-20) which reverted the original workaround in favor of
using the policy. However, existing project releases do not set the
policy behavior to NEW and therefore still exhibit the problem.
We introduced in commit a364daf1 (Allow users to specify defaults for
unset policies, 2011-01-03) an option for users to build existing
projects by adding -DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0017=NEW to the command
line. Unfortunately this solution still does not allow such projects to
build out of the box, and there is no good way to suggest the use of the
new option.
The only remaining solution to keep existing projects that exhibit this
problem building is to restore the change originally made in commit
b0118402 (Use absolute path to FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake
everywhere, 2010-09-28). This also avoids policy CMP0017 warnings for
this particular instance of the problem the policy addresses.
This puts the new search behaviour for included files in action, i.e.
now when a file from Modules/ include()s another file, it also gets the
one from Modules/ included, i.e. the one it expects.

Most problems are fixed (or rather worked-around) by making long '====='
separators pre-formatted (i.e. prefixed with two spaces). In order to
preserve visual view, the code examples themselves are prefixed with 3
spaces.

Patch from Modestas Vainius. See issue #9659.
This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's find-modules.
Many of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices referring
to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing notices and
adds missing notices.
