Explicitly specify the sequence of underline characters we use in the
CMake documentation. It is the same sequence as that suggested in the
Sphinx documentation, but we have our own descriptions.
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.
Teach set_property and get_property an "INSTALL" property type to be
associated with install-tree file paths. Make the properties available
to CPack for use during packaging. Add a "prop_inst" Sphinx domain
object type for documentation of such properties.
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.
Allow setting build properties based on the features available
for a target. The availability of features is determined at
generate-time by evaluating the link implementation.
Ensure that the <LANG>_STANDARD determined while evaluating
COMPILE_FEATURES in the link implementation is not lower than that
provided by the INTERFACE of the link implementation. This is
similar to handling of transitive properties such as
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE.
Add source file properties to control Xcode file type attributes:
XCODE_EXPLICIT_FILE_TYPE => explicitFileType
XCODE_LAST_KNOWN_FILE_TYPE => lastKnownFileType
Add a RunCMake.XcodeProject test to verify generated project content.
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.
Provide a function to write a portable header to detect compiler
features. Generate a preprocessor #error for unknown compilers
and compiler versions whose features are not yet recorded. This
error condition might be relaxed in the future, but for now it
is useful for verification of expectations.

be8ae960 Allow the Package Registry to be disabled (#14849)
d09fda5d Tests: Improve FindPackageTest for in-source builds
ac24a1c0 Tests: Improve FindPackageTest exported package version
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 option was removed during conversion to the reStructuredText
documentation. Restore it. Process documentation starting at
Help/index.rst so that all manuals are included in the output.
Allow directories in the source tree or build tree only if the
install tree is a subdirectory of the source tree or build tree,
as appropriate.
Re-use the test files in the RunCMake.include_directories test
to run in multiple scenarios. Bump the required CMake version
in the test to 3.0 to ensure that the new policy warnings are
emitted correctly.
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.
Extend the interface of the target_compile_features command with
PUBLIC and INTERFACE keywords. Populate the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property if they are set. Consume the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property from linked dependent targets to determine the final
required compiler features and the compile flag, if needed.
Use the same pattern of origin-debugging which is used for other
build properties.
Use the contents of it to upgrade the CXX_STANDARD target property,
if appropriate. This will have the effect of adding the -std=c++11
compile flag or other language specification on GNU when that is
needed for the feature.
Add a feature test using the compiler macros and the preprocessor to
determine available features.
Add a CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_FEATURES variable which contains all features
known to the loaded compiler, and a CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES variable
containing all features known to CMake. Add language standard specific
variables for internal use to determine the standard-specific compile
flags to use.
This will be extended to other languages in the future. Follow-up
commits will add features which will be recorded by the feature test.

Extend the cmGeneratorExpressionDAGChecker with an interface
returning the name of the top target. Use that to determine
when there is a DAG violation, as required by the RunCMake.Languages
tests.
The output of this expression may contain macros for IDEs to replace
such as $(Configuration), $(CURRENT_ARCH) etc. To avoid generating
content which is not usable in other contexts, report an error if
there is an attempt to use it in other contexts.
This commit may be reverted in the future if a solution to the
above difference is implemented.
These policies are triggered by the use of a particular compiler rather
than outdated CMake code in a project. Avoid warning in every project
that enables a language by not displaying the policy warning by default.
Add variable CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN> to control the warning
explicitly; otherwise enable the warning with --debug-output or --trace.
This breaks with strict policy convention because it does not provide
developers with any warning about the behavior change by default.
Existing projects will continue to build without a warning or change in
behavior. When a developer changes the minimum required version of
CMake in a project to a sufficiently high value (3.0), the project will
suddenly get the new compiler id and may break, but at least the
breakage comes with a change to the project rather than the version of
CMake used to build it.
Breaking strict policy convention is worthwhile in this case because
very few projects will be affected by the behavior change but every
project would have to see the warning if it were enabled by default.
As well as the traditional variables, providing imported targets is
suggested, and the relative advantages and disadvantages briefly
discussed.
A mini-tutorial walking through creating a simple find module is
provided.
This changes the recommended version variable from Foo_VERSION_STRING to
Foo_VERSION, because there is really no need to have different variable
names for package version files vs. find modules. It notes the old
variable name, though, and suggests setting it for compatibility.
