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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.

Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
Simply print out the lines as normal paragraph text. Teach the
CMakeLib.testRST test to cover this syntax. Update the
cmake-developer.7 manual to document support for the directives.
When scanning CMake module files for .rst comments, recognize
bracket comments starting in ".rst:" too. For example:
#[[.rst:
Include the bracket comment content terminated by the closing bracket.
Exclude the line containing the bracket if it starts in "#".
Teach the CMakeLib.testRST test to cover multiple bracket lengths
and ending brackets on lines with and without "#".
Update the cmake-developer.7 manual to document the bracket-comment
syntax for .rst documentation.
The cmRST implementation and the list of capabilities documented in the
cmake-developer.7 manual must be kept in sync. Add a note to each file
to reference the other.
Teach cmRST to recognize non-markup lines ending in '::' followed by a
blank line as starting a literal block. Record the whole block as if it
were a literal block directive and print it just like a code block.
Extend the CMakeLib.testRST test to cover such cases.
Move the ProcessDirectiveParsedLiteral and ProcessDirectiveCodeBlock
method internals into an OutputMarkupLines helper. Pass through it a
new "inlineMarkup" parameter and teach OutputLine to understand it.
When false, do not process inline markup. Extend the CMakeLib.testRST
test to cover the two cases.
Create a cmRST class to perform just enough reStructuredText processing
to support display of Help documents in human-readable text format.
This will be used to implement --help-* command-line options.
Support directives "include", "replace", "parsed-literal", "toctree"
(Sphinx), and "cmake-module" (CMake Sphinx Extension to scan .cmake
modules). Support inline CMake Sphinx Domain roles to convert
cross-references to corresponding title text. Support inline
substitutions defined by the "replace" directive, but keep it simple by
requiring replacements to be defined before use.
Add a CMakeLib "testRST" case to cover processing of supported
constructs and compare results against expected output.
