The GNU compiler front-ends on AIX invoke the linker with flags of the
form "-L/path/to/gnu/runtime/lib" to tell ld where to find the language
runtime libraries. They depend on the default libpath behavior
documented in "man ld" to add the -L paths also to the runtime libpath
so the dynamic loader can find the language runtime libraries. This
differs from platforms whose linkers have distinct -rpath flags that
non-system compilers can use to tell the dynamic loader where to find
their language runtime libraries.
Since commit 96fd5909 (Implement linking with paths to library files,
2008-01-22) CMake always passes "-Wl,-blibpath:" followed by any
project-defined RPATH plus "/usr/lib:/lib" in order to explicitly set
the runtime libpath and avoid getting all the project -L paths in the
runtime libpath. The explicit libpath prevents the GNU compiler runtime
library -L paths from being placed in the libpath and then the dynamic
loader fails to find the language runtime libraries.
CMake already detects the implicit link directories for each language
since commit 07ea19ad (Implicit link info for C, CXX, and Fortran,
2009-07-23). Add the implicit link directories to the explicit runtime
libpath for GNU compilers on AIX to fix this use case.

Reject the option by default. It will be implemented on a per-generator

entry CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.
Add a RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test to cover basic "-T" option cases.
Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET is empty without -T, that -T is
rejected when the generator doesn't support it, and that two -T options
are always rejected.
This makes
set(CMAKE_BUILD_INTERFACE_INCLUDES ON)
add the equivalent of
set_property(TARGET tgt APPEND PROPERTY
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR};${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}>
)
to every target.
If the headers are in CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR, and the generated headers
are in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR, this is a convenient way to build a target
bar, which depends on foo, just by using target_link_libraries() and adding
the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES to the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the target
being linked. There will be more-convenient porcelain API to consume the
property in the future.
cc676c3 OS X: Detect implicit linker framework search paths
2dd67c7 OS X: Detect implicit link directories on modern toolchains
ba58d0c OS X: Link with all framework search paths, not just the last
Previously we hard-coded a list of implicit framework directories but
did not account for CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT or for changes to the list across
OS X versions. Instead we should automatically detect the framework
directories for the active toolchain.
The parent commit added the "-Wl,-v" option to ask "ld" to print its
implicit directories. It displays a block such as:
Framework search paths:
/...
Parse this block to extract the list of framework directories.
Detection may fail on toolchains that do not list their framework
directories, such as older OS X linkers. Always treat the paths
<sdk>/Library/Frameworks
<sdk>/System/Library/Frameworks
<sdk>/Network/Library/Frameworks # Older OS X only
/System/Library/Frameworks
as implicit. Note that /System/Library/Frameworks should always be
considered implicit so that frameworks CMake finds there will not
override the SDK copies.
Extend documentation for CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES to
explain how it is used by CMake and how it can be influenced by
environment variables.

Several more recent Visual Studio Express editions are now available and
they support debug builds. Simplify our VS platform files by removing
support for these old tools. If anyone still uses them we can restore
support with a more modern way to test for them.
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a
variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not
exclusive to them. Refactor generation of these flags to use new
purpose-specific platform variables
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE
Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries. Add a new
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and
default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior.
Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to
allow easy global configuration in projects.
Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new
approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely. We must
leave it set in case projects reference the value. Furthermore, if a
project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new
value to be used. Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with
projects that modify this platform variable.
Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get
meaningful results.

47f0dbd CPack add necessary check to detect/warns/error on ABSOLUTE DESTINATION
6ba055b CPack add easy possibility to warn about CPACK_SET_DESTDIR
CMAKE_xxx vars are now used in the CMake-generated cmake_install.cmake
script while CPACK_xxx equivalent vars are used from within CPack.
CPack is responsible for getting/forwarding definitions of
CPACK_xxxx var corresponding to CMAKE_xxxx when invoking
CMake-generated install scripts.
As a consequence:
CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
CMAKE_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
may be used from outside CPack as well.
e.g.
cmake -DCMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION=1 -P cmake_install.cmake
works as expected.
This allows downstreams to use
set(CMAKE_WIN32_EXECUTABLE ON)
set(CMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE ON)
to create executables with the WIN32_EXECUTABLE and MACOSX_BUNDLE
properties set on by default.

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.
Teach the Windows-GNU.cmake platform file to look for Visual Studio
tools matching the target ABI. Add an extra step to the link command
for shared libraries and executables that export symbols and on which a
new GNUtoMS property is set (initialized by the CMAKE_GNUtoMS option).
Tell the GNU linker to output a module definition (.def) file listing
exported symbols in addition to the GNU-format import library (.dll.a).
Pass the .def file to the MS "lib" tool to construct a MS-format DLL
import library (.lib).
Teach the install(TARGETS) command to install the MS import library next
to the GNU one. Teach the install(EXPORT) and export() command to set
the IMPORTED_IMPLIB property pointing at the import library to use the
import library matching the tools in the importing project.
Load platform files named in CMAKE_<lang>_ABI_FILES for each language
once the ABI sizeof(void*) is known. During the first configuration
this is after the test for working compiler and ABI detection checks.
During later configurations the ABI information is immediately available
because it has been saved in CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake.
