Teach CMake(C|CXX|Fortran)CompilerId* to report the MSVC version
simulated by the Intel compiler, if any. Refactor the Windows-Intel
platform information helper module to load Windows-MSVC instead of
duplicating the information. Teach Windows-MSVC to understand when
it is loaded as the simulated Fortran compiler (its preprocessor is
simulated).
1763c31 Set policy CMP0025 to NEW while building CMake itself
aa53ee5 Add policy CMP0025 for Apple Clang compiler id compatibility
ab65862 Clang: Add separate "AppleClang" compiler id
Apple distributes their own Clang build with their own version numbers
that differ from upstream Clang. Use the __apple_build_version__ symbol
to identify the Apple Clang compiler and report the Apple Build Version
as the fourth version component in CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION. Add
Compiler/AppleClang-<lang> and Platform/Darwin-AppleClang-<lang> modules
that simply include the upstream equivalents.
Fix comparisons of CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID to Clang in CMake's own
source and tests to account for AppleClang.
Teach the compiler identification preprocessor tests to report when
Clang simulates MSVC, and what version. If not MSVC, assume GNU.
Teach compiler information modules Clang-(C|CXX) to recognize when Clang
simulates MSVC and skip loading the GNU information.
Teach the Windows-MSVC platform information to recognize when it is
loaded as the simulated compiler and use that version information
instead of the real compiler's (different) version scheme.
Add platform modules Windows-Clang-(C|CXX) and support module
Windows-Clang to load either Windows-MSVC or Windows-GNU and wrap
the corresponding information macros.
Some compilers try to simulate other compilers as a drop-in replacement
supporting all the same command-line options and predefined preprocessor
macros. In such cases it will be useful to have CMake load the compiler
information files for the simulated compiler instead of duplicating the
information. Teach CMakeDetermineCompilerId to extract the simulated
compiler id and version when the compiler id detection provides it.
Add a dummy mainCRTStartup() function, since the linker searches for
it instead of main() and set the CMAKE_SYSTEM_* variables depending
on the MSVC_C_ARCHITECTURE_ID and CMAKE_VS_WINCE_VERSION variables.
The Borland compiler was re-branded as CodeGear during 2007-2009 and
since 2009 is the Embarcadero compiler. They offer predefined macros:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Predefined_Macros
and distinguish themselves by __CODEGEARC__ and __CODEGEARC_VERSION__.
Version 6.30 (C++Builder XE) changed the meaning of some flags:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/C%2B%2B_Compiler_Option_Changes_for_XE
Teach Embarcadero compiler information files to generate build rules
with flags matching the compiler version. Leave the flags unchanged
for old Borland versions. Always set the BORLAND toolchain indicator
for compatibility with existing projects that test it. Also set the
EMBARCADERO indicator for newer toolchains.
Decode decimal digits from _SGI_COMPILER_VERSION or _COMPILER_VERSION to
compute version number components. See documentation at:
http://predef.sourceforge.net/precomp.html
The MSVC, HP, XL, SunPro, Watcom, Borland, and Intel compilers specify
their version number in components encoded in a single integer value.
Document the components that we use to compute version numbers.
Decode hex digits from __SUNPRO_C and __SUNPRO_CC to compute the version
number components. Note that the constant encodes decimal digits as hex
digits (never larger than 9). We represent them as decimal after
extraction. See documentation at
http://predef.sourceforge.net/precomp.html
Although the documented version number format is
0xVRP where V = Version, R = Revision, P = Patch
it holds only though SunPro C/C++ version 5.9. Later versions have
a two-digit revision (minor) number so their format is 0xVRRP.
Teach CMakePlatformId.h to construct an "INFO:compiler_version[]" string
literal from macros COMPILER_VERSION_(MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH|TWEAK) to be
defined in CMake(C|CXX)CompilerId.(c|cpp) for each compiler. Provide
conversion macros DEC() and HEX() to decode decimal or hex digits from
integer values. Parse the version out of the compiler id binary along
with the other INFO values already present.
Store the result in variable CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION in the format
"major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]". Save the value persistently in
CMake(C|CXX)Compiler.cmake in the build tree. Document the variable for
internal use since we do not set it everywhere yet.
Report the compiler version on the compiler id result line e.g.
The C compiler identification is GNU 4.5.2
Report CMAKE_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_(ID|VERSION) in SystemInformation test.
Since commit 70c2dc8a (Make compiler id detection more robust,
2008-03-10) we store compiler identification strings in test binaries
using the form
char* info = "info";
Use the const-correct
char const* info = "info";
form instead. This allows the C++ compiler identification to work with
"-Werror -Wall" or equivalent flags if the compiler would warn about
const-to-non-const conversion.
The TI DSP compiler predefines "__TI_COMPILER_VERSION__". Use this to
identify the C and C++ compilers. For assembler language the C compiler
executable is used:
$ cl6x -h
TMS320C6x C/C++ Compiler v6.1.11
Tools Copyright (c) 1996-2009 Texas Instruments Incorporated
Use this command-line option and output to recognize the assembler.
The Cray Fortran compiler needs "-em" to enable module output and also
"-J." to place the .mod files in the current working directory (instead
of next to the .o file).
Map to the platform and compiler information for GNU because the
compilers are command-line compatible for common operations. Later we
can add Clang-specific features as necessary. We honor the preferred
capitalization is "Clang", not the common mis-spelling "CLang".
IBM rebranded its VisualAge compiler to XL starting at version 8.0. We
use the compiler id "XL" for newer versions and "VisualAge" for older
versions. We now also recognize the "z/OS" compiler, which is distinct
from XL.
Some SGI compilers define _SGI_COMPILER_VERSION in addition to the old
_COMPILER_VERSION preprocessor symbol. It is more distinctive, so we
should check it in case the old one is ever removed.
Compiler INFO strings built at preprocessing time encode information
that must appear as a string literal in the resulting binary. We must
make sure the strings appear in the final binary no matter what compiler
and flags are used. The previous implementation worked in most places
but failed with the GNU linker's --gc-sections option which managed to
discard the string. Instead we make the program return value depend on
an element of the string indexed by a runtime program parameter, which
absolutely requires the string to be present.
- Split INFO strings in source into multiple pieces
to make sure assembly or other listings produced
by the compiler are never matched by the regex
- Store INFO strings via pointer instead of array
to convince some compilers to store the string
literally in the binary
- This should help make it work for sdcc 2.8.0 RC1
- Write a single source file into the compiler id directory
- This avoid requiring the compiler to behave correctly with
respect to include rules and the current working directory
- Helps to identify cross-compiling toolchains with unusual
default behavior
