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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

The code handling IMPLICIT_DEPENDS was only able to track a single file,
the latest file replaced earlier files in the list.
The documentation now mentions that the language has to be prefixed to
every file and the test now uses two implicit dependencies, where only
the second is modified to trigger re-running of the custom command.

A common mistake when using custom commands is to list the output of a
command in multiple targets that may build in parallel. Warn against
this case in the documentation and suggest a better approach.
Evaluate in the COMMAND arguments of custom commands the generator
expression syntax introduced in commit d2e1f2b4 (Introduce "generator
expressions" to add_test, 2009-08-11). These expressions have a syntax
like $<TARGET_FILE:mytarget> and are evaluated during build system
generation. This syntax allows per-configuration target output files to
be referenced in custom command lines.
The behavior of add_custom_command when no DEPENDS option is specified
matches that of standard Make behavior, but it does not hurt to describe
it explicitly.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
The previous wording of the VERBATIM option documentation in the
add_custom_command and add_custom_target commands was confusing. It
could be interpreted as the opposite of what the option means (no
escaping instead of escaping). This clarifies the documentation to
explicitly state that it escapes.
- Option was recently added but never released.
- Custom commands no longer depend on build.make so we do
not need the option.
- Rule hashes now take care of rebuilding when rules change
so the dependency is not needed.
- Allows make rules to be created with no dependencies.
- Such rules will not re-run even if the commands themselves change.
- Useful to create rules that run only if the output is missing.
