Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Once CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is known, load a platform-specific
Platform/<os>-Determine
module in order to enable custom determination of the other settings
needed for the CMakeSystem module (e.g. CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR). Also
add a hook in Modules/CMakeSystem.cmake.in to allow platform-specific
information to be saved.
Teach CMakeDetermineSystem to check for a CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION setting
even when CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is not set. This will allow builds on the
host OS to target other versions of the OS without full cross-compiling.
In commit 2412d9bc (Use 'uname -m' for processor on Cygwin, 2010-09-21)
it was pointed out that POSIX requires 'uname -m' but not 'uname -p':
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/uname.html
On OS X x86_64, 'uname -p' returns i386 while 'uname -m' returns x86_64.
Since the latter is the POSIX-compliant option trust its value.
However, on OS X ppc, 'uname -m' returns 'Power Macintosh' so add a
special-case to convert that to 'powerpc'.
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.
Add a dummy mainCRTStartup() function, since the linker searches for
it instead of main() and set the CMAKE_SYSTEM_* variables depending
on the MSVC_C_ARCHITECTURE_ID and CMAKE_VS_WINCE_VERSION variables.
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.
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 '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
GNU/kFreeBSD = FreeBSD kernel + userspace with glibc. Linux.cmake
doesn't contain anything too OS specific, so we can forward to it.
Here are outputs of /bin/uname on author's machine:
uname -p ==> i386
uname -o ==> GNU/kFreeBSD
uname -s ==> GNU/kFreeBSD
uname -r ==> 5.4-1-686
Patch from Modestas Vainius. See issue #9659.
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.
cmMakefile.cxx, but now in the platform files and are now valid for the
target platform, not the host platform.
New variables CMAKE_HOST_WIN32, CMAKE_HOST_UNIX, CMAKE_HOST_APPLE and
CMAKE_HOST_CYGWIN have been added in cmMakefile.cxx (...and have now to be
used in all cmake files which are executed before
CMakeSystemSpecificInformation.cmake is loaded). For compatibility the old
set is set to the new one in CMakeDetermineSystem.cmake and reset before the
system platform files are loaded, so custom language or compiler modules
which use these should still work.

Additionally the makefile in cmCPackGenericGenerator is now protected
instead of private, so with these two changes the cpack generators should
now be able to find their tools and how to call these tools from cmake
scripts, instead of hardcoding the search order and command line (as done
e.g. in cmCPackZIPGenerator.cxx)
Alex
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR can't be used there
ENH: modify CMakeCCompilerId.c and .h so that sdcc can compile them. As they
were the preprocessor produced:
9 "test.c"
static char const info_compiler[] = "INFO:compiler["
# 40 "test.c"
""
"]";
and the mixing of the preprocessing directives and the string constants
didn't work.

-add a RESULT_VARIABLE to INCLUDE()
-add CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE for specifiying your (potentially crosscompiling) toolchain
-have TRY_RUN() complain if you try to use it in crosscompiling mode (which were compiled but cannot run on this system)
-use CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX in TRY_RUN(), probably TRY_RUN won't be able to
run the executables if they have a different suffix because they are
probably crosscompiled, but nevertheless it should be able to find them
-make several cmake variables presettable by the user: CMAKE_C/CXX_COMPILER, CMAKE_C/CXX_OUTPUT_EXTENSION, CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME, CMAKE_SYSTEM_INFO_FILE
-support prefix for GNU toolchains (arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-ar, arm-elf-strip etc.)
-move ranlib on OSX from the file command to a command in executed in cmake_install.cmake
-add support for stripping during install in cmake_install.cmake
-split out cl.cmake from Windows-cl.cmake, first (very incomplete) step to support MS crosscompiling tools
-remove stdio.h from the simple C program which checks if the compiler works, since this may not exist for some embedded platforms
-create a new CMakeFindBinUtils.cmake which collects the search fro ar, ranlib, strip, ld, link, install_name_tool and other tools like these
-add support for CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH for all FIND_XXX commands, which is a
list of directories which will be prepended to all search directories, right
now as a cmake variable, turning it into a global cmake property may need
some more work
-remove cmTestTestHandler::TryExecutable(), it's unused
-split cmFileCommand::HandleInstall() into slightly smaller functions
