People will be tempted to put things there for convenience, thereby
causing conflicts similar to
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/35162/focus=35169
where it is conceivable that the LLVM developers could put a flag on
a target for convenience, which would cause conflicts for some downstreams.
When building boost with an alternate namespace the libraries generated
will have a different naming convention. This is often done to ensure
no symbol conflicts with external libraries built against a different
version of boost. If the namespace used is "myprivateboost::" instead
of "boost::" then the libraries built will be named myprivateboost_foo
instead of boost_foo. Add an option to specify a custom namespace used
to alter the library names that get searched for.
The cmGeneratorExpression is used here, but the header for it is not
in the include heirarchy. This would be a compile error if the file
were compiled as a standalone translation unit, but it is instead
used in a mini-unity-build by inclusion in cmCommands.cxx. The header
for cmGeneratorExpression happens to be included first, so the
compilation works fine.
IDEs do not know this however, and flag the use as an error.
Several CMake operations need to replace files in rapid succession.
This commonly fails on Windows due to filesystem lock behavior so
we have retry loops. No matter how many times we retry or how long
we delay there will inevitably be someone with an environment that
needs more. Make the retry count and delay configurable in the
Windows Registry keys:
{HKCU,HKLM}/Software/Kitware/CMake/Config
in DWORD values
FilesystemRetryCount = Number of tries
FilesystemRetryDelay = Delay in milliseconds between tries
Leave the feature undocumented for now to see how it goes.
Create platform information modules Platform/Darwin-Intel-(C|CXX).cmake
and helper module Platform/Darwin-Intel.cmake. Teach existing module
Platform/Darwin-Intel-Fortran.cmake to use the helper too. Move
information from Platform/Darwin-icc.cmake into these files and drop
information already in Platform/Darwin.cmake to avoid duplication.
