This method is called during ConfigureFinalPass on every target. It
gives each target a chance to do some final processing after it is known
that no more commands will affect it. Currently we just call the old
AnalyzeLibDependencies that used to be called directly.
This commit creates target and directory properties to enable the Intel
interprocedural optimization support on Linux. Enabling it adds the
compiler option '-ipo' and uses 'xiar' to create archives.
See issue #9615.
This creates cmTarget::GetFeature and cmMakefile::GetFeature methods to
query "build feature" properties. These methods handle local-to-global
scope and per-configuration property lookup. Specific build features
will be defined later.
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.
In cmMakefile::AddSubDirectory we were checking for addition of the same
source directory multiple times. However, the check code was incorrect
because it compared pointers instetad of pointed-to strings. Since the
check was written, a better check was added right after it to enforce
unique binary directories (in which case duplicate sources are fine).
This commit simply removes the old-style check code.
The commit "Improve dynamic variable scope implementation" optimized
function scopes using an efficient parent scope pointer. However, the
parent scope used to initialize a new directory might not exist later
(like add_subdirectory called inside a function of the parent scope).
This caused CMake to crash when following the dangling pointer to the
original parent scope.
We fix the problem in this commit by always computing the closure of the
parent scope at directory initialization time so that no parent scope
pointer is needed. See issue #9538.
The set(CACHE) and option() commands should always expose the cache
value. Previously we failed to expose the value when it was already set
if a local variable definition hid it. When set to NEW, this policy
tells the commands to always remove the local variable definition to
expose the cache value. See issue #9008.
The boolean overload of this method was used only to implement option().
We re-implement option() in terms of the main method and removes the
now-unused signature. This removes some duplicate code that had already
fallen behind on changes (it was not removing the local definition
instead of setting it).
The try_compile command builds the cmTryCompileExec executable using the
cmTryCompileExec/fast target with Makefile generators in order to save
time since dependencies are not needed. However, in project mode the
command builds an entire source tree that may have dependencies.
Therefore we can use the /fast target approach only in one-source mode.
In cmMakefile we save all invoked commands so that FinalPass can be
called on them later. Most commands have no final pass, so we should
keep only the few that do.
Previously each new variable scope (subdirectory or function call) in
the CMake language created a complete copy of the key->value definition
map. This avoids the copy using transitive lookups up the scope stack.
Results of queries answered by parents are stored locally to maintain
locality of reference.
The class cmDefinitions replaces cmMakefile::DefinitionsMap, and is
aware of its enclosing scope. Each scope stores only the definitions
set (or unset!) inside it relative to the enclosing scope.
In CMake 2.6.3 and below we silently accepted duplicate build
directories whose build files would then conflict. At first this was
considured purely a bug that confused beginners but would not be used in
a real project. In CMake 2.6.4 we explicitly made it an error.
However, some real projects took advantage of this as a "feature" and
got lucky that the subtle build errors it can cause did not occur.
Therefore we need a policy to deal with the case more gracefully.
See issue #9173.
Previously we rejected all preprocessor definition values containing
spaces for the VS6 IDE generator. In fact VS6 does support spaces but
not in combination with '"', '$', or ';', and only if we use the sytnax
'-DNAME="value with spaces"' instead of '-D"NAME=value with spaces"'.
Now we support all definition values that do not have one of these
invalid pairs. See issue #8779.
The add_definitions() command and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS dir/tgt/src
properties support preprocessor definitions with values. Previously
values were not supported in the VS6 generator even though the native
tool supports them. It is only values with spaces that VS6 does not
support. This enables support and instead complains only for values
with spaces. See issue #8779.
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).
The second argument of add_subdirectory must name a unique binary
directory or the build files will clobber each other. This enforces
uniqueness with an error message.
This defines global, directory, and target properties
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE, RULE_LAUNCH_LINK, and RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM. Their
values specify 'launcher' command lines which are prefixed to compile,
link, and custom build rules by Makefile generators.
This teaches cmMakefile::GetProperty and cmake::GetProperty methods to
return NULL when the property name is NULL, making them more robust and
consistent with the behavior of cmTarget::GetProperty.
Isolation of policy changes inside scripts is important for protecting
the including context. This teaches include() and find_package() to
imply a cmake_policy(PUSH) and cmake_policy(POP) around the scripts they
load, with a NO_POLICY_SCOPE option to disable the behavior. This also
creates CMake Policy CMP0011 to provide compatibility. See issue #8192.
This teaches functions and macros to use policies recorded at creation
time when they are invoked. It restores the policies as a weak policy
stack entry so that any policies set by a function escape to its caller
as before.
A 'weak' poilcy stack entry responds normally to queries. However,
setting a policy in a weak entry will recursively set the policy in the
next entry too. This also gives the internal interface to create a weak
entry the option to provide an initial PolicyMap for it.
This creates cmMakefile::PolicyPushPop to push and pop policy scope
automatically. It also enforces balanced push/pop pairs inside the
scope it handles.
This defines PolicyMap as a public member of cmPolicies. Its previous
role as a policy stack entry is now called PolicyStackEntry and
represented as a class to which more information can be added later.
If a logical block terminates with mismatching arguments we previously
failed to remove the function blocker but replayed the commands anyway,
which led to cases in which we failed to report the mismatch (return
shortly after the ending command). The recent refactoring of function
blocker deletion changed this behavior to produce an error on the ending
line by not blocking the command. Furthermore, the function blocker
would stay in place and complain at the end of every equal-level block
of the same type.
This teaches CMake to treat the begin/end commands (if/endif, etc.) as
correct and just warns when the arguments mismatch. The change allows
cases in which CMake 2.6.2 silently ignored a mismatch to run as before
but with a warning.
This centralizes construction of the error message for an unclosed
logical block (if, foreach, etc.). We record the line at which each
block is opened so it can be reported in the error message.
This uses a stack of 'barriers' to efficiently divide function blockers
into groups corresponding to each input file. It simplifies detection
of missing block close commands and factors it out of ReadListFile.
When a function blocker decides to remove itself we previously removed
it at every return point from the C++ scope in which its removal is
needed. This teaches function blockers to transfer ownership of
themselves from cmMakefile to an automatic variable for deletion on
return. Since this removes blockers before they replay their commands,
we no longer need to avoid running blockers on their own commands.
Previously bad arguments to an if() or elseif() would cause some
subsequent statements in the corresponding block to execute. This
teaches CMake to stop processing commands with a fatal error. It also
provides context to bad elseif() error messages.
The documentation of cmake_policy PUSH and POP states that they must
always match. Previously we enforced this only for the top scope of
each CMakeLists.txt file. This enforces the requirement for all files.
This creates the variable CMAKE_VERSION containing the full version of
cmake in "major.minor.patch" format. It is particularly useful with the
component-wise version comparison provided by the if() command.
Previously we stored a vector of tests to preserve their order.
Property set/get operations would do a linear search for matching tests.
This uses a map to efficiently look up tests while keeping the original
order with a vector for test file generation.
The cmMakefile::DefineFlagsOrig ivar was created to help preserve the
old DEFINITIONS property behavior now that definitions are moved from
DefineFlags to the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS directory property. This fixes
propagation of the original value into subdirectories.
After creating a utility target with AddUtilityCommand, return a pointer
to the cmTarget instance so the caller may further modify the target as
needed.
If the arguments to a command fail to parse correctly due to a syntax
error, the command should not be invoked. This avoids problems created
by processing of commands with bad arguments. Even though the build
system will not be generated, the command may affect files on disk that
persist across CMake runs.
Previously error messages produced by parsing of command argument
variable references, such as bad $KEY{VAR} syntax or a bad escape
sequence, did not provide good context information. Errors parsing
arguments inside macro invocations gave no context at all. Furthermore,
some errors such as a missing close curly "${VAR" would be reported but
build files would still be generated.
These changes teach CMake to report errors with good context information
for all command argument parsing problems. Policy CMP0010 is introduced
so that existing projects that built despite such errors will continue
to work.
This introduces the unset() command to make it easy to unset CMake
variables, environment variables, and CMake cache variables. Previously
it was not even possible to unset ENV or CACHE variables (as in
completely remove them). Changes based on patch from Philip Lowman.
See issue #7507.
The compatibility check to allow linking to modules should test for
CMake 2.2, not the unreleased 2.3. See issue #7500. Furthermore, the
message should be more clear about fixing the code instead of setting
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY unless one is just trying to build an
existing project.
In the future some policies may be set to REQUIRED_IF_USED or
REQUIRED_ALWAYS. This change clarifies the error messages users receive
when violating the requirements.
- The property tracks the value formed by add_definitions
and remove_definitions command invocations.
- The string should be maintained for use in returning for the
DEFINITIONS property value.
- It is no longer used for any other purpose.
- The DEFINITIONS property was recently documented as deprecated.
- See bug #7239.
