The storage of a pointer means that the ownership and lifetime are
externally determined, which is harder to reason about. It also imposes
API constraints, requiring APIs to return references to backtraces.
This pointer storage was introduced in commit v3.1.0-rc1~425^2~3 (genex:
remove the need for backtraces, 2014-05-23). As backtraces are now cheap
to copy around, just do that instead.
Prefix test commands with the CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR property
for target executables. This allows test suites to be run on the host
when crosscompiling.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
Most callers already have a std::string, on which they called c_str() to pass it
into these methods, which internally converted it back to std::string. Pass a
std::string directly to these methods now, avoiding all these conversions.
Those methods that only pass in a const char* will get the conversion to
std::string now only once.
Resolve conflict in Source/cmTestGenerator.cxx by taking "their" side
(test-property-genex). It already accounts for the lower-case change in
"our" side (generate-modern-style).
This is useful for cases like:
add_test(NAME mytest COMMAND mydriver $<TARGET_FILE:myexe>)
set_tests_properties(mytest PROPERTIES
REQUIRED_FILES "$<TARGET_FILE:myexe>"
WORKING_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/$<CONFIGURATION>"
)
In this example we require the actual test executable to exist to
run the test in addition to the test driver at argv[0]. Also the
$<CONFIGURATION> expression improves over \${CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE}
because the latter is not normalized for case-sensitive filesystems.
Move property generation from GenerateScriptConfigs to separate copies
in GenerateOldStyle and GenerateScriptForConfig. This causes the
per-config tests generated for the add_test(NAME) signature to each get
their own test properties. This will allow us to later change the
property values based on the test configuration.
While at it, generate lower-case CMake code (e.g. set_tests_properties).

The commits 9db31162 (Remove CMake-language block-end command
arguments, 2012-08-13) and 77543bde (Convert CMake-language
commands to lower case, 2012-08-13) changed most cmake code
to use lowercase commands and no parameters in termination
commands. However, those changes excluded cmake code generated
in c++ by cmake.
Make a similar style change to code generated by cmake.
Removing the Process() API and removing the parameters from the
constructor will allow cmGeneratorExpressions to be cached and evaluated
with multiple configs for example, such as when evaluating target
properties. This requires the creation of a new compiled representation
of cmGeneratorExpression. The cmListFileBacktrace remains in the
constructor so that we can record where a particular generator
expression appeared in the CMakeLists file.
When add_test(NAME) is called without the CONFIGURATIONS argument then
the test is intended to run in any configuration. In multi-config
generators like the VS IDE and Xcode tests created by add_test(NAME) can
only be run when testing a known configuration (otherwise there is no
way to generate the test command line). If no test command line is
known for a particular configuration, or if no configuration is given to
ctest, report the test as not run instead of silently skipping it.
Also fix CMake's own TestsWorkingDirectory test invocation to correct a
previously silent failure exposed by this change.
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.
This introduces a new syntax called "generator expressions" to the test
COMMAND option of the add_test(NAME) command mode. These expressions
have a syntax like $<TARGET_FILE:mytarget> and are evaluated during
build system generation. This syntax allows per-configuration target
output files to be referenced in test commands and arguments.
We teach cmTestGenerator::GenerateScriptConfigs to use the general
cmLocalGenerator::EscapeForCMake method to write escaped test property
values into test scripts. This eliminates the previous hand-coded
escaping implementation.
This creates command mode add_test(NAME ...). This signature is
extensible with more keyword arguments later. The main purpose is to
enable automatic replacement of target names with built target file
locations. A side effect of this feature is support for tests that only
run under specific configurations.
This moves code which generates ADD_TEST and SET_TESTS_PROPERTIES calls
into CTestTestfile.cmake files out of cmLocalGenerator and into a
cmTestGenerator class. This will allow more advanced generation without
cluttering cmLocalGenerator. The cmTestGenerator class derives from
cmScriptGenerator to get support for per-configuration script
generation (not yet enabled).
