In SharedForward, the call to execvp warned on MinGW because the
signature declared in process.h has an extra const. We use an explicit
cast to convert the pointer type.
To detect when the launcher is running from the build tree we now test
if the directory containing it is the same as the build-tree directory
using an inode test instead of string comparison. This makes it more
robust on case-insensitive filesystems and other quirky situations.
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.
We now properly report the source location of command arguments inside
macros instead of using the macro invocation site. No information is
lost because full call-stack information is already reported.
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.
Automatic generation of 64-bit library search paths must preserve
trailing slashes. This fixes a failure case exposed by the recent
rewrite of find_library, which assumes trailing slashes occur on all
search paths.
OpenBSD shared libraries use a ".so.<major>.<minor>" extension and do
not have a symlink with just a ".so" extension. Its "ld" is capable of
finding the library with the best version. This change adds support for
finding such libraries. See issue #3470.
Previously we searched for library files by enumerating every possible
combination of prefix and suffix. Now we load (and cache) directory
content from disk and search for matching file names. This should
reduce disk access. It will also allow more advanced matching rules in
the future. See issue #3470.
Previously the cmGlobalGenerator::GetDirectoryContent method would work
safely only during build system generation. These changes make it safe
to use during each configure step by flushing it at the beginning.
