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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
The enums just introduce unfamiliar names and don't provide value.
The order of arguments is reversed, as that is the result of the
cmOutputConverter::ConvertToRelativePath
overload which accepts the RelativeRoot enum.
Since we support adding arbitrary flags to the link line via
`target_link_libraries` the project/user may add their own RPATH flags
(typically for system library locations). Re-order the link line to
place our generated RPATH entries before the libraries so that they also
come before flag-specified entries. Otherwise our in-build-tree RPATH
entries may not be preferred by the dynamic loader and we could collide
with libraries in the system directories.
Closes: #16293
Factor the flag generation out of cmCommonTargetGenerator::GetFlags
into a new cmLocalGenerator::GetTargetCompileFlags method.
This will allow it to be used without a target generator available.
Add a cmLocalGenerator::GetTargetFortranFlags virtual method to get
generator-specific generation of Fortran-specific flags. Implement it
in cmLocalCommonGenerator by moving the implementation from
cmCommonTargetGenerator::AddFortranFlags. This will allow it to be used
without having a target generator available.

The clang-format tool can do a good job formatting most code, but
well-organized streaming blocks are best left manually formatted.
Find blocks of the form
os <<
"...\n"
"...\n"
;
using the command
$ git ls-files -z -- Source |
egrep -v -z '^Source/kwsys/' |
xargs -0 pcregrep -M --color=always -B 1 -A 1 -n \
'<<[^\n]*\n(^ *("[^\n]*("|<<|;)$|;)\n){2,}'
Find blocks of the form
os << "...\n"
<< "...\n"
<< "...\n";
using the command
$ git ls-files -z -- Source |
egrep -v -z '^Source/kwsys/' |
xargs -0 pcregrep -M --color=always -B 1 -A 1 -n \
'<<[^\n]*\n(^ *<<[^\n]*(\\n"|<<|;)$\n){2,}'
Surround such blocks with the pair
/* clang-format off */
...
/* clang-format on */
in order to protect them from update by clang-format. Use the C-style
`/*...*/` comments instead of C++-style `//...` comments in order to
prevent them from ever being swallowed by re-formatting of surrounding
comments.
Sort include directives within each block (separated by a blank line) in
lexicographic order (except to prioritize `sys/types.h` first). First
run `clang-format` with the config file:
---
SortIncludes: false
...
Commit the result temporarily. Then run `clang-format` again with:
---
SortIncludes: true
IncludeCategories:
- Regex: 'sys/types.h'
Priority: -1
...
Commit the result temporarily. Start a new branch and cherry-pick the
second commit. Manually resolve conflicts to preserve indentation of
re-ordered includes. This cleans up the include ordering without
changing any other style.
Use the following command to run `clang-format`:
$ git ls-files -z -- \
'*.c' '*.cc' '*.cpp' '*.cxx' '*.h' '*.hh' '*.hpp' '*.hxx' |
egrep -z -v '(Lexer|Parser|ParserHelper)\.' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/cm_sha2' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/(kwsys|CursesDialog/form)/' |
egrep -z -v '^Utilities/(KW|cm).*/' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/Module/GenerateExportHeader' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/RunCMake/CommandLine/cmake_depends/test_UTF-16LE.h' |
xargs -0 clang-format -i
This selects source files that do not come from a third-party.

This method was added by commit v3.4.0-rc1~424^2~6 (cmLocalGenerator:
Add IssueMessage method, 2015-06-13) in order to reduce callers'
dependency on cmMakefile. Currently the implementation of
cmLocalGenerator::IssueMessage is just a copy of the post-configure code
path in cmMakefile::IssueMessage. De-duplicate the implementation by
simply calling the cmMakefile copy for now. This will simplify upcoming
refactoring of backtraces. The dependency on cmMakefile can be removed
by future work once that is done.
Rename methods:
* `cmMakefile::Find{ => LocalNonAlias}Target`
* `cmLocalGenerator::Find{ => LocalNonAlias}GeneratorTarget`
These names clarify that they are for directory-local target names
and do not consider alias targets.
Refactoring in commit v3.5.0-rc1~272^2~11 (cmTarget: Implement ALIAS in
terms of name mapping, 2015-10-25) accidentally introduced logic that
assumes ALIAS targets always reference targets in their own directory.
Fix this and add a test case.
The configure-step fix is that `cmMakefile::FindTarget` should not consider
aliases. The purpose of this method is just to look up targets local to
a directory. Since ALIAS and normal targets share a namespace we know a
locally defined target will never collide with an ALIAS target anyway.
The method has 3 call sites, and this change is safe for all of them:
* `cmInstallCommand::HandleTargetsMode`: Rejects aliases before the call.
* `cmFLTKWrapUICommand::FinalPass`: Should never have considered aliases.
* `cmMakefile::FindTargetToUse`: Falls back to a global lookup anyway.
The generate-step fix is that `cmLocalGenerator::FindGeneratorTarget`
should not consider aliases. This method is the generate-step
equivalent to the above. The method has 2 call sites, and this change
is safe for both of them:
* `cmInstallTargetGenerator::Compute`: Never uses an alias target name.
* `cmLocalGenerator::FindGeneratorTargetToUse`: Falls back to global lookup.

In commit v3.5.0-rc1~272^2~6 (cmGlobalGenerator: Add FindGeneratorTarget
API, 2015-10-25) a lookup was implemented via linear search. Replace it
with an efficient data structure.

Let us take an example of a project that has some tests in a component
that need to be installed into a dedicated test package. The user
expectation is that the result could be achieved by typing the
following:
make
make tests
make install
DESTDIR=/testpkgs make install-tests
However this results in test components in the default installation as
well as the testpkg.
Add an EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option to the install() command to tell it that
the installation rule should not be included unless its component is
explicitly specified for installation.
