Move the Ld invocation match expression from CMakeDetermineCompilerId
into CMakeDetermine{C,CXX,Fortran}Compiler so that it can be specified
on a per-language basis.
Teach CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID to optionally try detecting the
compiler id using some given flags before trying to detect it with no
special flags. This will be useful for Fortran detection to distinguish
some compilers that use the preprocessors of others but have no macro of
their own by getting verbose output.
Since commit v3.0.0-rc1~342^2~2 (Add compiler target compile options,
2013-05-19) we use CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_TARGET as the binutils prefix
when cross-compiling with Clang. Fix the implementation to use the
compiler target as the prefix only when it is set. Otherwise toolchain
files not using CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_TARGET cause the logic to use
a prefix of just "-" and of course cannot find "-ar" or "-ld".
During cross-compiling the toolchain file may use CMakeForceCompiler to
force a compiler setting. When using the Xcode generator try to convert
it to a full path by searching the PATH as is done for the Makefile
generators.
For clang, this allows passing -target <triple> to the compiler, and
for qcc, -V<arch> using toolchain files containing something like
set(triple arm-linux-gnueabihf)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang")
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang++")
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})
or
set(arch gcc_ntoarmv7le)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/qcc)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/QCC)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})
Both clang and qcc are inherently cross compiler( driver)s.
When cross-compiling with clang, use the CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_TARGET
as the _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX to find the appropriate binutils.
When cross-compiling with QNX qcc, use the CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_TARGET
to set the appropriate _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX.
Since commit 7d47c693 (Drop compatibility with CMake < 2.4, 2013-10-08)
we no longer need to use the configure_file IMMEDIATE option to support
compatibility modes less than 2.0.

6007f7c CMakeDetermineCompilerId: Always use compiler detected from IDE
332771c CMakeDetermine*Compiler: Remove temporary cache entry
One way to use clang as a cross-compiler is to create
a symlink named <target>-clang, which is equivalent to
running
clang -target <target>
Extract the toolchain prefix to find the binutils executables.
When the user or toolchain file sets CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to a name
without a path we use find_program with CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_WITH_PATH
to search for the tool. Remove the temporary cache entry afterward to
avoid exposing it to projects. It is not set by other logic paths so no
one should be using it.

At the top of a build tree we configure inside the CMakeFiles directory
files such as "CMakeSystem.cmake" and "CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake" to
save information detected about the system and compilers in use. The
method of detection and the exact results store varies across CMake
versions as things improve. This leads to problems when loading files
configured by a different version of CMake. Previously we ignored such
existing files only if the major.minor part of the CMake version
component changed, and depended on the CMakeCache.txt to tell us the
last version of CMake that wrote the files. This led to problems if the
user deletes the CMakeCache.txt or we add required information to the
files in a patch-level release of CMake (still a "feature point" release
by modern CMake versioning convention).
Ensure that we always have version-consistent platform information files
by storing them in a subdirectory named with the CMake version. Every
version of CMake will do its own system and compiler identification
checks even when a build tree has already been configured by another
version of CMake. Stored results will not clobber those from other
versions of CMake which may be run again on the same tree in the future.
Loaded results will match what the system and language modules expect.
Rename the undocumented variable CMAKE_PLATFORM_ROOT_BIN to
CMAKE_PLATFORM_INFO_DIR to clarify its purpose. The new variable points
at the version-specific directory while the old variable did not.
Configure a hand-generated Visual Studio project to build the compiler id
source file since we cannot run the compiler command-line tool directly.
Add a post-build command to print out the full path to the compiler tool.
Parse the full path to the compiler tool from the build output.
Configure a hand-generated Xcode project to build the compiler id source
file since we cannot run the compiler command-line tool directly. Add a
post-build shell script phase to print out the compiler toolset build
setting. Run xcodebuild to compile the identification binary. Parse
the full path to the compiler tool from the xcodebuild output.
Re-organize CMakeDetermine(C|CXX|Fortran)Compiler.cmake to search for
the compiler command-line tool only under generators for which it makes
sense. For the Visual Studio generators we do not expect to find the
compiler tool from the environment, nor would we use the result anyway.
Furthermore, set CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_TEST_FLAGS only when it has a
chance to be used. Extract _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_LOCATION from the compiler
path after running the compiler id step so in the future that step can
help find the path to the compiler.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |

egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |

rm convert.sed
Teach CMake to prefer the system default compiler automatically when no
compiler is specified. By default use "cc" for C, "CC" for C++, and
"f95" for Fortran. Load a new Platform/<os>-<lang>.cmake module to
allow each platform to specify for each language its system compiler
name(s) and/or exclude certain names.
Create Platform/(CYGWIN|Darwin|Linux|Windows)-CXX.cmake modules to
specify "c++" as the system C++ compiler name for these platforms. On
systems that use case-insensitive filesystems exclude C++ compiler names
that are distinguished from C compiler names only by case.
This will change the default compiler selection for existing build
scripts that do not specify a compiler when run on machines with
separate system and GNU compilers both installed in the PATH. We do not
make this change in default behavior lightly. However:
(1) If a given build really needs specific compilers one should specify
them explicitly e.g. by setting CC, CXX, and FC in the environment.
(2) The motivating case is to prefer the system Clang on newer OS X
systems over the older GNU compilers typically also installed. On
such systems the names "cc" and "c++" link to Clang. This is the
first platform known to CMake on which "c++" is not a GNU compiler.
The old behavior selected "gcc" for C and "c++" C++ and therefore
chooses GNU for C and Clang for C++ by default. The new behavior
selects GNU or Clang consistently for both languages on older or
newer OS X systems, respectively.
(3) Other than the motivating OS X case the conditions under which the
behavior changes do not tend to exist in default OS installations.
They typically occur only on non-GNU systems with manually-installed
GNU compilers.
(4) The consequences of the new behavior are not dire. At worst the
project fails to compile with the system compiler when it previously
worked with the non-system GNU compiler. Such failure is easy to
work around (see #1).
In short this change creates a more sensible default behavior everywhere
and fixes poor default behavior on a widely-used platform at the cost of
a modest change in behavior in less-common conditions.
The compiler candidate list selection and search code for C, C++, ASM,
and Fortran languages was duplicated across four modules. To look for
compilers adjacent to already-enabled languages the C and CXX modules
each used _CMAKE_USER_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_PATH and the ASM module used
_CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_LOCATION. Since commit 4debb7ac (Bias Fortran compiler
search with C/C++ compilers, 2009-09-09) CMake prefers Fortran compilers
matching the vendor and directory of an enabled C or C++ compiler.
Factor out the common functionality among the four languages into a new
CMakeDetermineCompiler module. Generalize the Fortran implementation so
that all languages may each use the vendor and directory of the other
languages that have already been enabled. For now do not list any
vendor-specific names for C, C++, or ASM so that only the directory
preference is used for these languages (existing behavior).
Look for "clang" or "clang++" compiler executables so Clang will be used
when it is the only compiler available. Prefer them last to avoid
changing compiler default preferences for existing scripts.
Currently the VS generators do not support Intel C/C++ .icproj files and
the MS tools do not include a Fortran compiler. Therefore we can always
set the C and CXX compiler IDs to "MSVC" and the Fortran ID to "Intel".
This fixes a regression in support for the Intel Fortran compiler under
the VS plugin introduced by commit cd43636c (Modernize Intel compiler
info on Windows, 2010-12-16). The commit moved the compiler information
into platform files that only load when the proper compiler id is set.
It worked for the NMake Makefiles generator but not for the VS IDE
generator because it did not set the compiler id.
This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's non-find
modules. Most of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices
referring to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing
notices and adds missing notices.
- 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
CMAKE_SYSTEM_AND_C_COMPILER_INFO_FILE, CMAKE_SYSTEM_AND_CXX_COMPILER_INFO_FILE,
CMAKE_SYSTEM_AND_C_COMPILER_AND_PROCESSOR_INFO_FILE and CMAKE_SYSTEM_AND_CXX_COMPILER_AND_PROCESSOR_INFO_FILE
Instead of presetting these variables to arbitrary filenames, users should
set up CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME and the compilers correctly and also create a
Platform/ directory so these files will all follow the official cmake style,
which should make it easier to understand and debug project which have their
own platform/toolchain support files.

second part copies the values from the cmake variables into internal maps.
So this can now be done after the compiler-specific information has been
loaded, which can now overwrite more settings.
