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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Run clang-tidy's modernize-use-override checker. This checker must have
issues in version 3.8. It has way too little matches. And it adds
override to destructors. Revert the changes on the destructors and
change override to CM_OVERRIDE.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

The clang-format tool can do a good job formatting most code, but
well-organized streaming blocks are best left manually formatted.
Find blocks of the form
os <<
"...\n"
"...\n"
;
using the command
$ git ls-files -z -- Source |
egrep -v -z '^Source/kwsys/' |
xargs -0 pcregrep -M --color=always -B 1 -A 1 -n \
'<<[^\n]*\n(^ *("[^\n]*("|<<|;)$|;)\n){2,}'
Find blocks of the form
os << "...\n"
<< "...\n"
<< "...\n";
using the command
$ git ls-files -z -- Source |
egrep -v -z '^Source/kwsys/' |
xargs -0 pcregrep -M --color=always -B 1 -A 1 -n \
'<<[^\n]*\n(^ *<<[^\n]*(\\n"|<<|;)$\n){2,}'
Surround such blocks with the pair
/* clang-format off */
...
/* clang-format on */
in order to protect them from update by clang-format. Use the C-style
`/*...*/` comments instead of C++-style `//...` comments in order to
prevent them from ever being swallowed by re-formatting of surrounding
comments.
Sort include directives within each block (separated by a blank line) in
lexicographic order (except to prioritize `sys/types.h` first). First
run `clang-format` with the config file:
---
SortIncludes: false
...
Commit the result temporarily. Then run `clang-format` again with:
---
SortIncludes: true
IncludeCategories:
- Regex: 'sys/types.h'
Priority: -1
...
Commit the result temporarily. Start a new branch and cherry-pick the
second commit. Manually resolve conflicts to preserve indentation of
re-ordered includes. This cleans up the include ordering without
changing any other style.
Use the following command to run `clang-format`:
$ git ls-files -z -- \
'*.c' '*.cc' '*.cpp' '*.cxx' '*.h' '*.hh' '*.hpp' '*.hxx' |
egrep -z -v '(Lexer|Parser|ParserHelper)\.' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/cm_sha2' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/(kwsys|CursesDialog/form)/' |
egrep -z -v '^Utilities/(KW|cm).*/' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/Module/GenerateExportHeader' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/RunCMake/CommandLine/cmake_depends/test_UTF-16LE.h' |
xargs -0 clang-format -i
This selects source files that do not come from a third-party.

Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
This converts the CMake 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 CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
The TortoiseCVS version of cvs.exe includes the '.exe' in cvs update
messages for files removed from the repository. This change accounts
for it in the regular expressions that match such lines. Now removed
files are properly reported by ctest_update() when using TortoiseCVS.
When CTest runs 'cvs log' to get revision information for updated files,
we were passing '-d<now'. The option seems useless since revisions
cannot be created in the future, and can lose revisions if the client
machine clock is behind the server.
This adds a new VCS update implementation to the cmCTestVC hierarchy and
removes it from cmCTestUpdateHandler. The new implementation has the
following advantages:
- Factorized implementation instead of monolithic function
- Logs vcs tool output as it is parsed (less memory, inline messages)
- Uses one global svn log instead of one log per file
- Reports changes on cvs branches (instead of latest trunk change)
- Generates simpler Update.xml (only one Directory element per dir)
Shared components of the new implementation appear in cmCTestVC and may
be re-used by subclasses for other VCS tools in the future.
