5bf1c5cc Help: Document add_custom_command PRE_BUILD/PRE_LINK for exe/lib only (#15059)
2a58c872 Help: Revise and format 'add_custom_command' docs
cb88742d Help: Remove stray content from 'add_custom_command' docs
State explicitly that the PRE_LINK mode is not for targets created by
the add_custom_target command. The existing wording for PRE_BUILD being
treated as PRE_LINK by non-VS generators will now imply this restriction
for PRE_BUILD too.
Format the reStructuredText markup manually. Organize the command
options into a definition list. Use inline markup to cross-reference
related documents.
Loosen this restriction on OBJECT libraries to allow source files of any
name to be generated by custom commands or listed for reference in IDE
projects so long as they would not affect linking of a normal library.
Update the rejection message to be more specific about the looser
restriction.
Extend the ObjectLibrary test to cover a ".cmake" file generated by a
custom command in an OBJECT library.
Installing large directories, e.g., the output of a doxygen run, prints
one line per file resulting in too much noise in the build output. Add
an option to the install(DIRECTORY) command to not print anything upon
make install.
Extend the RunCMake.install test with cases covering MESSAGE_NEVER
behavior of the install(DIRECTORY) command.

Create a variable to allow users to control which installation
messages are printed. In particular, provide a "LAZY" setting
that prints "Installing" messages but not "Up-to-date" messages.
This is desirable for incremental re-installations.

The add_library(INTERFACE) and Interface Libraries documentation
list all the INTERFACE_* properties and target_* commands that
can be used to define the interface. Add INTERFACE_SOURCES
and target_sources() to these lists for completeness.
In the ctest(1) manual and ctest_start() command documentation, convert
mentions of CTest Script variables to cross-references so they will be
rendered as links.
This is the convention suggested in the Sphinx documentation and is
already used in several other places in the CMake documentation.
Update a few places where we were using other characters.
Explain how to use $<BUILD_INTERFACE> and $<INSTALL_INTERFACE> directly
in the documentation of the target_include_directories command and
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property. Otherwise readers need
to notice the link to the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual and find the
example in that to understand the need for these expressions.
Also fix the explanation in cmake-buildsystem(7) to not claim that
relative paths may be used inside a BUILD_INTERFACE expression.
Note in a few places of the cmake_policy() command documentation
that the cmake_minimum_required() command can set policies too.

Link to it from the documentation of related properties, variables
and commands.
Extend the cmake-developer(7) documentation with notes on
extending feature support for compilers.
Organize the documentation by sub-command to keep the signatures and
their descriptions nearby. Use inline and explicit reST markup. Revise
wording as necessary for the updated layout. Clarify behavior of the
file(GENERATE) command w.r.t. conflicting file names.
Add properties and variables corresponding to CXX equivalents.
Add features for c_function_prototypes (C90), c_restrict (C99),
c_variadic_macros (C99) and c_static_assert (C11). This feature
set can be extended later.
Add a <PREFIX>_RESTRICT symbol define to WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
to conditionally represent the c_restrict feature.
When a project is packaged for redistribution the local package
registries should not be updated or consulted. They are for developers.
Add variables to disable use of package registries globally:
* CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the export(PACKAGE)
command
* CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the User Package
Registry in all the find_package calls.
* CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the
System Package Registry in all the find_package calls.
Update documentation and unit tests.
This can be used to set the compiler features required by particular
targets. An error is issued at CMake time if the compiler does not
support the required feature. If a language dialect flag is required
by the features used, that will be added automatically.
Base the target_compile_features command on cmTargetPropCommandBase. This
gives us 'free' handling of IMPORTED, ALIAS, INTERFACE, non-compilable
and missing targets.
Remove use of UseObjectLibraries from Makefile and Ninja generators. It
is not needed now because those generators use GetExternalObjects
which already contains the objects from object libraries.
The VS10 generator calls both the UseObjectLibraries and the GetExternalObjects
methods. Ensure that duplicates are not created by skipping objects
from object libraries in handling of GetExternalObjects.
Similarly, fix VS6, VS7 and Xcode object handling by skipping
external objects from OBJECT_LIBRARY usage as appropriate.
The error message in the BadSourceExpression1 test is now reported
by the generator expression evaluator, so it has different text.
Rely on evaluation in cmCustomCommandGenerator for the generators.
When tracing target dependencies, depend on the union of dependencies
for all configurations.
Recently used cmake-gui locations are searched only on Windows because
the Windows registry is used to record the values. This behavior is
historical and may be removed by a policy in the future so rather than
implementing it on other platforms simply document the current behavior.
This command does not support generator expressions. The documentation
was mistakenly extended to claim it in commit v3.0.0-rc1~60^2~3 (Help: Mark
up the buildsystem commands documentation, 2014-02-03).
6e89c8a5 install: Support generator expressions in FILES and PROGRAMS mode
f11f7b34 cmInstallFilesGenerator: Add reference to calling cmMakefile
e190236c Help: Format install() command documentation
Teach the install(FILES) and install(PROGRAMS) commands to evaluate
generator expressions in the list of files.
Extend the ExportImport test to cover installation cases involving
generator expressions.
