Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio
generators, respectively. Later the VS generators started using the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias.
Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern
variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the
other way around. Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules. Nothing needs to lookup
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.
Re-implement the build_command() command to use "cmake --build" instead
of generating a native build tool invocation directly. This command
will internally invoke the proper native build tool.
This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce
a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no
quoting or escaping. It will also allow us to later teach CMake to
delay the decision about which build tool to invoke until after the
project build system is generated to disk. For example, on Visual
Studio 10 and above the preferred command-line tool is MSBuild, but we
need to fall back to devenv if the .sln has Intel Fortran .vfproj files.
Refactor edit_cache tool selection to ask each global generator for its
preference. Teach the Ninja generator to always use cmake-gui because
Ninja by design cannot run interactive terminal dialogs like ccmake.
Teach the Makefile generator to use cmake-gui when also using an "extra"
generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall
back to CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND selection for normal Makefile build systems.
The cmake-language.7 manual now documents comment syntax. Reference it
from cmake-developer.7 when discussing how to add comment-enclosed
documentation to modules.
State in the execute_process how COMMAND arguments are passed to
the child. Add a note at the end about how the command differs
from add_custom_*().

Make the documentation change made by commit ef10b87c (CMP0022: Plain
target_link_libraries must populate link interface, 2013-11-02) in the
new location for the same documentation.
Add a :maxdepth: option to all toctree directives to limit their depth
to 1. We do not want subheadings from individual documents to pollute
the already large lists of CMake Domain objects.
In certain scenarios, it is preferable to keep a 'dirty' install prefix
than to clear it, and to expect that content will not be found there.
Add a CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX variable that can be set to disable
searching the install prefix.
Simply print out the lines as normal paragraph text. Teach the
CMakeLib.testRST test to cover this syntax. Update the
cmake-developer.7 manual to document support for the directives.
Add the man page description line as explicit markup at the top of each
Help/manual/*.rst file and scan it from conf.py to automatically
generate the man_pages Sphinx configuration value. This reduces the
number of places that need to be changed when a new manual is added.

Rename the Visual Studio >= 10 generators to indicate the version year:
Visual Studio 10 => Visual Studio 10 2010
Visual Studio 11 => Visual Studio 11 2012
Visual Studio 12 => Visual Stduio 12 2013
Report the names with the year to the list of available generators so
that the cmake-gui drop-down shows the years. When selecting a
generator from the "-G" option or from an existing CMAKE_GENERATOR cache
entry, recognize names without the years for compatibility and map them
to the names with years.
Update the generator names in the cmake-generators.7 manual.
ff6c401 cmTarget: Add interface for compatible numeric properties
e4e20c1 cmTarget: Add enumeration for consistency to expect from properties.
9877769 cmTarget: Assign consistent content back to the property being evaluated.
816b4a8 cmTarget: Make consistentProperty return consistent content.
030800a cmTarget: Add a template to create correct implied content.
The source files are already processed by cmQtAutomoc to look for
moc includes, so extend that to also look for ui_ includes and
find corresponding .ui files to process.
This replaces the need to invoke qt4_wrap_ui().
As the ui files are not likely to be part of the SOURCES of the
target, store the options associated with them separately in the
cmMakefile for querying during the autogen run.
When using the boost MPL library, one can set a define to increase
the limit of how many variadic elements should be supported. The
default for BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE is 20:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/limit-vector-size.html
If the foo library requires that to be set to 30, and the independent
bar library requires it to be set to 40, consumers of both need to set
it to 40.
add_library(foo INTERFACE)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 30)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
target_compile_definitions(foo INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)
add_library(bar INTERFACE)
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 40)
# Technically the next two lines are redundant, but as foo and bar are
# independent, they both set these interfaces.
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
target_compile_definitions(bar INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)
add_executable(user)
target_link_libraries(user foo bar)
Because the TARGET_PROPERTY reads the boost_mpl_vector_size property
from the HEAD of the dependency graph (the user target), and because
that property appears in the COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX of
the dependencies of the user target, the maximum value for it is
chosen for the compile definition, ie, 40.
There are also use-cases for choosing the minimum value of a number.
In Qt, deprecated API can be disabled by version. Setting the
definition QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0 disables no deprecated
API. Setting it to 0x501000 disables API which was deprecated before
Qt 5.1 etc.
If two dependencies require the use of API which was deprecated in
different Qt versions, then COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MIN can be
used to ensure that both can compile.
When scanning CMake module files for .rst comments, recognize
bracket comments starting in ".rst:" too. For example:
#[[.rst:
Include the bracket comment content terminated by the closing bracket.
Exclude the line containing the bracket if it starts in "#".
Teach the CMakeLib.testRST test to cover multiple bracket lengths
and ending brackets on lines with and without "#".
Update the cmake-developer.7 manual to document the bracket-comment
syntax for .rst documentation.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
The cmRST implementation and the list of capabilities documented in the
cmake-developer.7 manual must be kept in sync. Add a note to each file
to reference the other.
Document how CMake uses reStructuredText to provide the help manuals.
Cover supported inline markup and directives, the CMake Domain in
Sphinx, and cross-reference syntax.
Add "Module Documentation" and "Find Modules" subsections. Add to
Modules/readme.txt a textual reference to the cmake-developer.7 manual
and, while at it, fix the wiki URL domain.
Convert the content moved from Modules/readme.txt to valid
reStructuredText markup. Mainly, convert the lists of variables to
definition lists, wrap long lines in paragraph text, and add literal
block markup and indentation.
Move all content from Modules/readme.txt except for the link to the
module maintainers wiki page into "Help/manual/cmake-developer.7.rst".
This produces some invalid reStructuredText markup to be fixed in a
future commit.
Add cmCommand::Disallowed helper to check the setting of a policy that
disallows the command. Add a RunCMake.DisallowedCommands test
placeholder. Add a Help/policy/DISALLOWED_COMMAND.txt file for
inclusion by each policy document to avoid duplication of the common
text.
Add a string(CONCAT) command to simply concatenate input arguments
together. This will be useful for combining strings from different
quoting syntaxes. Add a RunCMake.string test covering these cases.
These two target properties serve the same purpose for different versions
of Visual Studio. Document the versions covered by each property.

Introduce a policy to control the behavior.
The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a
double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport
test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.

These policies were introduced after 2.8.12 in anticipation of 2.8.13.
However, we've now decided the next release will be 3.0.0, so update the
version of introduction accordingly.
Make the standard --help-* options available from all command-line
tools. Drop options that are no longer supported:
--copyright, --help-full, --help-html, --help-man,
--help-compatcommands, --help-custom-modules
De-duplicate Help/manual/*.1.rst help options by using an
OPTIONS_HELP.txt file included from each manual.
Add "Synopsis", "Description", and "See Also" manual page section
headers. These are typical of .1 man section pages. Also de-duplicate
the See Also section links using a separate LINKS.txt file included from
each manual.
It designed to search for implementation of backtrace(3) routine.
Currently it is used in OpenBSD Ports for building Clementine
music player.
A lot of input from brad.king@ and neundorf@.
Generator expressions are supported in many places and are a distinct
concept worthy of their own manual page. The old builtin documentation
was previously represented by preprocessor macros to generate it into
each place that supports them. Factor out the duplicate content into a
dedicated cmake-generator-expressions manual page and reference it from
each original location.
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS escaping disclaimer was represented in builtin
documentation using a preprocessor macro. Factor the duplicate content
out into a separate .txt file and include it in each document with the
reStructuredText include directive.
These documents were represented in the builtin documentation using a
common starting point with placeholders substituted by each command.
Convert them back to this approach using the reStructuredText include
directive and substitutions to avoid duplication.
Portions of these documents contain duplicate content generated from
preprocessor macros in the original builtin documentation source.
Factor the common parts out into .txt files using reStructuredText
include directives and substitutions to avoid duplication.
Add a top-level document holding the Sphinx root toctree. List all
reference manuals from Help/manual/*.rst and the Sphinx-generated
general index (genindex) and search pages.
Run "cmake --help-full cmake.1.rst" by hand on Windows and OS X.
Copy the generator/*.rst documents for generators unique to those
platforms into Help/generator.
