Expect cxx_variadic_templates to implement N2555.
N2555 is essentially a bugfix and predates most compiler releases which
aimed to experimentally support variadic templates.
Record the availability of this feature for GNU 4.8 on (UNIX AND
NOT APPLE) only. In the future, availability can be recorded for
earlier GNU, for other platforms and for other compilers. Initially
the affected configurations are as restricted as possible to allow
for easy testing while extending the features vector in only one
dimension.
The error message when using the set_property API directly is not
very good, but follow up commits will provide origin debugging of
the property and a target_compile_features command which will
provide a configure-time backtrace when possible.
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.
QT4_CREATE_MOC_COMMAND is given a moc_flags argument that contains the
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and a potentially large list of include directories.
Since it is a macro, the ${moc_flags} reference is replaced with this
content and sent through cmMakefile::ExpandVariablesInString (EVIS).
Since commit v3.0.0-rc1~138^2 (Qt4: Use generator expression in
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS, 2014-01-13) the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS value contains
a '$' so the EVIS fast-path is no longer used. Instead the full
cmCommandArgumentParserHelper is now used on the large input, which is
very slow (since it was originally created for hand-written code).
Change QT4_CREATE_MOC_COMMAND to a function instead of a macro to avoid
passing large content through EVIS. This makes it significantly faster.
* Remove Watcom linker caseexact options already defined in system
definition.
* Use win_dll system for SHARED_LIBRARY and SHARED_MODULE.
* Use explicit target definition -bt=.. option for proper initialization
of compiler Windows environment (predefined macros)
* Reorganize compiler options to global options and configuration
specific options
* Use option to optimize out stack checking code for release version
When adding a new external project, the "all" target will depend on
this.
This option allows one to add an external project will not be executed
when the "all" target is executed.
The reason for this is that an external project could be useful, for
example, only for running tests, and therefore not necessary during
the build.
When adding a new step using ExternalProject_Add_Step, the main target
will depend on this step.
This option allows one to add a step that will not be executed when the
main target for the external project is executed.
ExternalProject handles git remote branches by commit hash. Due to
this, the git repository ends in detached states, and local commits
are discarded.
Use "git rebase" for remote branches instead of "git checkout". If
there are uncommitted changes, use "git stash save/pop" to save changes
and restore them after the rebase. If any of these operations fails,
try to restore the original status and exit with a fatal error, asking
the user to resolve the conflicts manually.
This also makes the behaviour of ExternalProject using git more similar
to the svn version, and probably more likely to what the user expects
by setting GIT_TAG to a branch.
