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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Factor CMAKE_<LANG>_USE_RESPONSE_FILE_FOR_{OBJECTS,LIBRARIES} lookup out
into a common helper. Use a separate helper for each because more
specific logic may be added to each later.
Create a LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE target property and corresponding
CMAKE_LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE variable to enable this behavior.
Extend link commands by running `ldd -u -r` to detect shared
libraries that are linked but not needed.
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.

Classify .manifest sources separately, add dependencies on them, and
pass them to the MS manifest tool to merge with linker-generated
manifest files.

Drop the CMAKE_NO_QUOTED_OBJECTS internal variable from the Makefile
generators. The underlying problem is with the Watcom linker, not with
WMake. The Watcom linker wants object files to be single-quoted. Add
<LINK-RULE>_USE_WATCOM_QUOTE platform information variables to tell the
generators to use Watcom-style single quotes for object files on link
lines.
On Windows, Watcom uses the GetCommandLine API to get the original
command-line string and do custom parsing that expects single quotes.
On POSIX systems, Watcom approximates the original command line by
joining all argv[] entries separated by a single space. Therefore we
need to double-quote the single-quoted arguments so that the shell does
not consume them and they are available for the parser to see.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
Work around the command-line-length limit by using an @linklibs.rsp
response file to pass the flags for link libraries. This allows
very long lists of libraries to be used in addition to the existing
support for passing object files via response file.

The generators for executable and library targets duplicate the logic to
call the OutputLinkLibraries helper on the local generator. Factor it
out into a cmMakefileTargetGenerator::CreateLinkLibs method to avoid
dpulication.
Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties. Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important. Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.
The <OBJECT_DIR> placeholder is supposed to be the base intermediate
files directory for the current target. This is how it gets replaced
during link line generation. However, during compile line generation
we replace it with the directory containing the current object file
which may be a subdirectory. Fix replacement of <OBJECT_DIR> in the
generated compile lines to be the base intermediate files directory.
This was expoxed by commit 42ba1b08 (VS: Separate compiler and linker
PDB files, 2013-04-05) when we added a "/Fd<OBJECT_DIR>/" flag to the
MSVC compile line in order to match the VS IDE default compiler program
database location in the intermediate files directory. For source files
in a subdirectory relative to the current target this caused the wrong
location to be used for the compiler program database. This becomes
particularly important when using precompiled headers.
While at it, use the cmTarget::GetSupportDirectory method to compute the
intermediate files directory for the current target instead of repeating
the logic in a few places.
Just enough to reach the BuildMacContentDirectory method and the
NeedRelinkBeforeInstall methods.
In the future, those methods can be moved to cmGeneratorTarget.
