They are maintained as containing the same content as the 'home'
directories, but they are never read from.
Fix some comments and help strings which confused the two by
name. They actually mean what is called CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR in
cmake code.
Call the Internal method with equivalent parameters, passing a null first
argument.
A duplicate path computation exists inside the external_in condition now,
but that is harmless at this point.
Because all external callers of this method pass a null first
parameter, this change has no effect for them.
This also makes it obvious that the CMAKE_PARENT_LIST_FILE is set to
the name of the file being read itself for CMakeLists.txt files,
which may not make any sense.
Global properties are already global in scope, so remove the
overload for specifying it and port users of the API.
The call from cmMakefile::GetProperty can be simplified because
the scope is only used during chaining, and there is no further
chaining after processing global properties.
At this point, it is an interface to the cache. It will be extended
to be a universal interface for access to and manipulation of
configuration-time data (defintions, properties on targets,
directories, source files etc).
This will allow porting all command implementations away
from the cmMakefile and cmTarget classes, and result in something
more-purely related to configuration-time processing of cmake
commands. That should serve at least the following goals:
* Split the CMake implementation more definitively into three
stages: Configuration, computation and generation, and be able to
implement each optimally for memory access patterns etc.
* Make better IDE integration possible by making more configuration
data available.
* Make it possiblte to use a smaller library than CMakeLib.a in
cpack and ctest, resulting in smaller executables.
* Make it possible to run the configure step multiple times in
the same CMake run (#14539).
Manage its lifetime in the cmake class, and add a convenience accessor
to cmMakefile.
This topic was never tested without some follow-up commits. The
GetCacheEntryValue API returns a pointer to memory freed on return.
It will have to be revised along with the rest of the original topic.
