Remove the old-style "Windows-cl.cmake" and its helper "cl.cmake". Load
the information through new-style "Platform/Windows-MSVC-<lang>.cmake"
files. Factor information common to C and CXX into a helper file
"Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake" loaded from the per-language files.
Teach Windows-cl.cmake to use CMAKE_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_VERSION to set the
"MSVC##" and MSVC_VERSION variables. It no longer needs the IDE generator
to dictate the version or to detect the version by running the
command-line tool for NMake and Ninja generators. Drop configuration of
CMakeCPlatform.cmake and CMakeCXXPlatform.cmake from Windows-cl.cmake.in
because all the results it saved are now cheap to compute every time.
Several more recent Visual Studio Express editions are now available and
they support debug builds. Simplify our VS platform files by removing
support for these old tools. If anyone still uses them we can restore
support with a more modern way to test for them.
Configure a hand-generated Visual Studio project to build the compiler id
source file since we cannot run the compiler command-line tool directly.
Add a post-build command to print out the full path to the compiler tool.
Parse the full path to the compiler tool from the build output.
Configure a hand-generated Xcode project to build the compiler id source
file since we cannot run the compiler command-line tool directly. Add a
post-build shell script phase to print out the compiler toolset build
setting. Run xcodebuild to compile the identification binary. Parse
the full path to the compiler tool from the xcodebuild output.
Teach CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID to check for variable
CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_TOOL after CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_BUILD
to use as CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER since it will not be known until after
the IDE runs.
In CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_BUILD prepare a cascading "if" so we can
use a generator-specific method to compile the identification source
file. Leave "if(0)" as a placeholder for now and put the direct
compiler invocation in "else()". After running the compiler to build
the compiler identification source we file(GLOB) the list of output
files as candidates for extracting the compiler information. An IDE may
create directories, so exclude exclude directories from this list.
Re-organize CMakeDetermine(C|CXX|Fortran)Compiler.cmake to search for
the compiler command-line tool only under generators for which it makes
sense. For the Visual Studio generators we do not expect to find the
compiler tool from the environment, nor would we use the result anyway.
Furthermore, set CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_ID_TEST_FLAGS only when it has a
chance to be used. Extract _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_LOCATION from the compiler
path after running the compiler id step so in the future that step can
help find the path to the compiler.
This was missed by commit 7bbaa428 (Remove trailing whitespace from most
CMake and C/C++ code, 2012-08-13) which only removed trailing spaces,
not TABs.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed

b708f1a CMakeDetermine(C|CXX)Compiler: Consider Clang compilers
Since commit c198730b (Detect Watcom compiler version with its id,
2011-12-07) the CMAKE_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_VERSION variables are set for the
Watcom compiler. Use these in Windows-wcl386.cmake to set the old
WATCOM1* version variables. This avoids using the old EXECUTE_PROCESS
command which failed due to extra quotes anyway.
This fix bug #0013451. The bug prevents theorerically relocatable RPM package
to be installed properly.

Teach CMake to prefer the system default compiler automatically when no
compiler is specified. By default use "cc" for C, "CC" for C++, and
"f95" for Fortran. Load a new Platform/<os>-<lang>.cmake module to
allow each platform to specify for each language its system compiler
name(s) and/or exclude certain names.
Create Platform/(CYGWIN|Darwin|Linux|Windows)-CXX.cmake modules to
specify "c++" as the system C++ compiler name for these platforms. On
systems that use case-insensitive filesystems exclude C++ compiler names
that are distinguished from C compiler names only by case.
This will change the default compiler selection for existing build
scripts that do not specify a compiler when run on machines with
separate system and GNU compilers both installed in the PATH. We do not
make this change in default behavior lightly. However:
(1) If a given build really needs specific compilers one should specify
them explicitly e.g. by setting CC, CXX, and FC in the environment.
(2) The motivating case is to prefer the system Clang on newer OS X
systems over the older GNU compilers typically also installed. On
such systems the names "cc" and "c++" link to Clang. This is the
first platform known to CMake on which "c++" is not a GNU compiler.
The old behavior selected "gcc" for C and "c++" C++ and therefore
chooses GNU for C and Clang for C++ by default. The new behavior
selects GNU or Clang consistently for both languages on older or
newer OS X systems, respectively.
(3) Other than the motivating OS X case the conditions under which the
behavior changes do not tend to exist in default OS installations.
They typically occur only on non-GNU systems with manually-installed
GNU compilers.
(4) The consequences of the new behavior are not dire. At worst the
project fails to compile with the system compiler when it previously
worked with the non-system GNU compiler. Such failure is easy to
work around (see #1).
In short this change creates a more sensible default behavior everywhere
and fixes poor default behavior on a widely-used platform at the cost of
a modest change in behavior in less-common conditions.
The compiler candidate list selection and search code for C, C++, ASM,
and Fortran languages was duplicated across four modules. To look for
compilers adjacent to already-enabled languages the C and CXX modules
each used _CMAKE_USER_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_PATH and the ASM module used
_CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_LOCATION. Since commit 4debb7ac (Bias Fortran compiler
search with C/C++ compilers, 2009-09-09) CMake prefers Fortran compilers
matching the vendor and directory of an enabled C or C++ compiler.
Factor out the common functionality among the four languages into a new
CMakeDetermineCompiler module. Generalize the Fortran implementation so
that all languages may each use the vendor and directory of the other
languages that have already been enabled. For now do not list any
vendor-specific names for C, C++, or ASM so that only the directory
preference is used for these languages (existing behavior).
Look for "clang" or "clang++" compiler executables so Clang will be used
when it is the only compiler available. Prefer them last to avoid
changing compiler default preferences for existing scripts.
In case that any of the input variables that hold the library names contains
more than just a single library the "debug" or "optimized" keywords were only
prepended to the first item, making all other libs appear in all
configurations. Just treat both input variables as lists.
Thanks to Philipp Berger <newsletters@philippberger.de> for pointing me at
this.

7f647cf Ninja: also write link libraries to rsp file
The work around is only needed by older GCCs (only testet 4.4/4.7)
Ninja is very new so chances are high that there is also a new mingw.
Use slashes in link rsp file, because ar.exe can't handle \.
Among other flags this sets RPATH flags correctly so that CMake knows
how to treat CMAKE_PLATFORM_REQUIRED_RUNTIME_PATH for the ASM language.
This is the GNU compiler equivalent to commit a0bab7ae (Add ASM platform
information for XL compiler on AIX, 2011-03-02), made for XL.
