In certain scenarios, it is preferable to keep a 'dirty' install prefix
than to clear it, and to expect that content will not be found there.
Add a CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX variable that can be set to disable
searching the install prefix.
3e04946 Require CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to be found as a full path
6007f7c CMakeDetermineCompilerId: Always use compiler detected from IDE
332771c CMakeDetermine*Compiler: Remove temporary cache entry
All generators now support detection of the full path to the compiler, so
require it to be so. This will allow CMake<LANG>Information.cmake and
other logic to assume the full path to the compiler tool is available.
The Makefile generators already rejected CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER values
that did not name an existing compiler. Extend this error message to
all generators, make it occur as early as possible, and improve the
message with advice about how to set the compiler. If the full path to
the compiler is not known, finish enabling languages with a fatal error
so configuration does not continue.
For now, allow the RC language compiler to not be a full path. Later we
will need to detect the full path to "rc" under the VS IDE.
Add a RunCMake.CompilerNotFound test to cover failure cases.
Fix the RunCMake.CompilerChange test EmptyCompiler case to work
when configuration does not continue past enable_language.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
Add cmCommand::Disallowed helper to check the setting of a policy that
disallows the command. Add a RunCMake.DisallowedCommands test
placeholder. Add a Help/policy/DISALLOWED_COMMAND.txt file for
inclusion by each policy document to avoid duplication of the common
text.
Add a string(CONCAT) command to simply concatenate input arguments
together. This will be useful for combining strings from different
quoting syntaxes. Add a RunCMake.string test covering these cases.
Introduce a policy to control the behavior.
The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a
double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport
test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.
The final location and name of a build-target is not determined
until generate-time. However, reading the LOCATION property from
a target is currently allowed at configure time. Apart from creating
possibly-erroneous results, this has an impact on the implementation
of cmake itself, and prevents some major cleanups from being made.
Disallow reading LOCATION from build-targets with a policy. Port some
existing uses of it in CMake itself to use the TARGET_FILE generator
expression.
By default, the message is not issued. If CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED
is on, the message is fatal. If CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED is on, the
message is a warning.
Previously if headers required to check if a struct has a member can be
compiled with C++ compiler only, the check would fail because the C
compiler fails. As a consequence, the result variable would be set to
false, even if the struct has that particular member.
Teach CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER to accept a new optional argument LANGUAGE
that allows one to explicitly set the compiler to use. The new
signature is therefore:
CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER (<struct> <member> <header> <variable>
[LANGUAGE <language>])
This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be
used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce
that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used
with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties
matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for
this target type.
The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator
expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target,
but with the additional restriction that it may not contain
double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED
or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13.
An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library.
At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the
buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may
be added as a feature in a later commit.
The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja
generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes
related to that.
Test basic unquoted and quoted argument parsing cases including failure
on an unterminated string and an unterminated command invocation. Also
cover arguments not separated by any spaces, which is accidentally
allowed by the current parser.
* The ALIAS name must match a validity regex.
* Executables and libraries may be aliased.
* An ALIAS acts immutable. It can not be used as the lhs
of target_link_libraries or other commands.
* An ALIAS can be used with add_custom_command, add_custom_target,
and add_test in the same way regular targets can.
* The target of an ALIAS can be retrieved with the ALIASED_TARGET
target property.
* An ALIAS does not appear in the generated buildsystem. It
is kept separate from cmMakefile::Targets for that reason.
* A target may have multiple aliases.
* An ALIAS target may not itself have an alias.
* An IMPORTED target may not have an alias.
* An ALIAS may not be exported or imported.
First, it prevents a NULL dereference and second it reiterates that
targets without languages are not supported by CMake.
Add a RunCMake.ExportWithoutLanguage test exporting a library without a
languages.
Add a new signature to help populate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES and
LINK_LIBRARIES cleanly in a single call. Add policy CMP0023 to control
whether the keyword signatures can be mixed with uses of the plain
signatures on the same target.
3e30d9e TLL: Don't populate old link interface if CMP0022 is NEW.
574fec9 Export: Generate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property on targets.
d0a76ea Introduce the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property.
ddde61c Introduce the LINK_ONLY generator expression.
5aa9731 GenexEval: Add abstracted access to link interface for a target.
Use preprocessor loops and add a unit test for the appropriate
policies. All policies whose value is recorded at target creation
time should be part of this list.
When CMake reports failure to configure a project, especially when the
toolchain does not initialize properly, the true reason may be clear
from reading the CMakeFiles/CMake(Output|Error).log files. Advise users
to look at these files if they exist when configuration fails.
Add RunCMake.Configure test to check that the log files are mentioned
when configuration fails.
This property replaces the properties which
match (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?, and is enabled
for IMPORTED targets, and for non-IMPORTED targets only with a policy.
For static libraries, the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is
also used as the source of transitive usage requirements content.
Static libraries still require users to link to all entries in
their LINK_LIBRARIES, but usage requirements such as INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS can be restricted to only
certain interface libraries.
Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is populated unconditionally,
we need to compare the evaluated result of it with the link implementation
to determine whether to issue the policy warning for static libraries. For
shared libraries, the policy warning is issued if the contents of
the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property differs from the contents of the
relevant config-specific old LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property.
This is initialized by CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET. The target
property is used as the operand to the -fvisibility= compile option
with GNU compilers and clang.
7378792 if: Add test for IS_DIRECTORY
4ab10e0 Merge branch 'master' into fix-FileIsDirectory-SEGV
045d6ae KWSys: Fix SystemTools::FileIsDirectory with long paths (#14176)
Add a RunCMake.if test to cover if() command behavior. Start with a
test for IS_DIRECTORY cases with an existing directory and a long path,
both with a trailing slash.
The idea is to write to a temp file which contains generator
expressions, and at generate time, evaluate the generator expressions,
and write the result to a file.
Because executables on Windows are limited in the length of command line
it is possible to use, it is common to write command line arguments to a
file instead and specify the file as a source of arguments.
This new FILE(GENERATE) subcommand allows the use of generator
expressions to create such files so that they can be used with
add_custom_command for example.
When called with a non-existent LHS target name the user may be trying
to add file-level dependencies. Clarify the error message to explain
the difference between target-level and file-level dependencies. Point
the reader at the commands and options needed for the latter.
The commit to add the INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION in qtbase.git
is 14054d45 (Set the INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION to 5., 2013-03-16)
which will be part of Qt 5.1.0.
If there is a Qt 5.0.3 release, there is no guarantee it will
contain that commit. Make sure such a Qt version does not fail
with this test if not.
Do not use PROJECT_BINARY_DIR before it is defined. If it is not
defined when needed, fail with an error message suggesting that the
project() command be invoked first.
Move the Tests/FPHSA_InvalidFOUND_VAR test case over to a new
RunCMake.FPHSA test with a BadFoundVar case. The RunCMake tests are
built to cover failure cases easily and robustly.
Add RunCMake.CompilerChange test to cover use of -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=cc
to change the compiler of an existing build tree. Also test for proper
failure with -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="" and no CC in the environment.
Reject the option by default. It will be implemented on a per-generator
basis. Pass the setting into try_compile project generation. Add cache
entry CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.
Add a RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test to cover basic "-T" option cases.
Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET is empty without -T, that -T is
rejected when the generator doesn't support it, and that two -T options
are always rejected.
Add a Module.ExternalData test to verify data retrieval and test
argument DATA{} references.
Add a RunCMake.ExternalData test to verify error handling and automatic
transformation of a raw data to a content link and staged object.
This new expression allows checking how a policy was set when a target
was created. That information is only recorded for a subset of policies,
so a whitelist is used.
This allows a dependee to inform a target that it should have its
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property set to ON, or OFF. The value of
the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property, if set, must be consistent
with any INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE properties on dependees.
Add a test covering the consistency checks on platforms where they run.
Historically CMake has always expanded ${} variable references in the
values given to include_directories(), link_directories(), and
link_libraries(). This has been unnecessary since general ${}
evaluation syntax was added to the language a LONG time ago, but has
remained for compatibility with VERY early CMake versions.
For a long time the re-expansion was a lightweight operation because it
was only processed once at the directory level and the fast-path of
cmMakefile::ExpandVariablesInString was usually taken because values did
not have any '$' in them. Then commit d899eb71 (Call
ExpandVariablesInString for each target's INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES,
2012-02-22) made the operation a bit heavier because the expansion is
now needed on a per-target basis. In the future we will support
generator expressions in INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES with $<> syntax, so the
fast-path in cmMakefile::ExpandVariablesInString will no longer be taken
and re-expansion will be very expensive.
Add policy CMP0019 to skip the re-expansion altogether in NEW behavior.
In OLD behavior perform the expansion but improve the fast-path
heuristic to match ${} but not $<>. If the policy is not set then warn
if expansion actually does anything. We expect this to be encountered
very rarely in practice.
This command works only when building projects using the same
architecture as the running CMake binary. Since it was introduced
CMake has learned macro() and function() to add commands, and the
execute_process() command to launch advanced external computations.
Add a RunCMake.load_command test to verify the warning appears.
This fixes a regression introduced in commit 290e92ad (Move
GetIncludeDirectories to cmGeneratorTarget, 2012-09-16) which loops over
cmGeneratorTargets before they get created, so the container is empty.
Add generator expressions that combine and use boolean test results:
$<0:...> = empty string (ignores "...")
$<1:...> = content of "..."
$<AND:?[,?]...> = '1' if all '?' are '1', else '0'
$<OR:?[,?]...> = '0' if all '?' are '0', else '1'
$<NOT:?> = '0' if '?' is '1', else '1'
These will be useful to evaluate (future) boolean query expressions and
condition content on the results. Include tests and documentation.
Previously CMake silently accepted the empty string and added a bogus
dependency on the current directory. Instead warn about the empty file
name and ignore it. We cannot make this an error because there may be
existing projects that accidentally depend on the old behavior.
Add a RunCMake.include test to cover this case.
Since commit e1409ac5 (Support building shared libraries or modules
without soname, 2012-04-22) CMake crashes on the code
add_library(foo SHARED foo.nolang)
because the logic to lookup the language's soname flag was moved from
cmTarget::GetLibraryNames to cmMakefile::GetSONameFlag without its check
for a NULL language. Restore the check for NULL.
Add RunCMake.Languages test to cover language error cases like this one.
Add "RunCMake.include_external_msproject" test to use the TYPE, GUID, and
PLATFORM options to include_external_msproject. Since projects with
custom types and platforms cannot be loaded without special VS plugins
validate the results by directly parsing the generated solution (.sln).

Look for a <SubTest>-check.cmake script and load it to check side
effects of the sub test. Provide it with the test source and build tree
paths in variables. Check for a failure message in a result variable.
Since commit ed1ea24c (Fix INSERT to allow inserting to empty list,
2006-05-15) the list command allows insertion into an empty list at
index 0. Fix rejection of insertion at non-zero (negative) indices to
present an error message instead of crashing.
While at it, fix the error message of the GET and REMOVE_AT operations
when the list is empty to not present a bogus allowed range.
Add a "RunCMake.list" test to cover failure cases on empty lists.
Add "RunCMake.ObjectLibrary" test to verify that unsupported use cases
are rejected with errors:
* An OBJECT library may not reference another object library
* An OBJECT library may not be referenced in target_link_libraries
* An OBJECT library may not contain non-compiling sources
* An OBJECT library may not have pre/post build/link commands
* An OBJECT library may not be installed, exported, or imported
Also verify that invalid $<TARGET_OBJECTS:...> expressions are
diagnosed.
The CMakeCommands.build_command test performs output/error checking
so move it over to RunCMake to re-use the generalized infrastrucure.
This is the only test left using Tests/CMakeCommands/CMakeLists.txt
so remove it.
The CMakeOnly directory added by commit 9a20abf0 (Add infrastructure for
CMake-only tests, 2012-01-11) was sufficient only for tests that always
run CMake to successfully configure a project. Later commit eeaaffcb
(find_package: Test error and warning messages in failure cases,
2012-02-28) added a sample test that covers failure cases.
Generalize the above to create new "RunCMake" test infrastructure that
can run CMake multiple times for a single project with different
variations and check for expected result/stdout/stderr. Allow for both
successful and failing CMake project configuration cases. This will be
useful to test error messages and failure behavior.
