Create a <LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE target property (initialized by a
CMAKE_<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE variable) to specify an IWYU command
line to be run along with the compiler.
Add sections to the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual and cross-reference
them with relevant variables and target properties. This avoids
duplicating the information and allows it to be more detailed.
Prefix test commands with the CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR property
for target executables. This allows test suites to be run on the host
when crosscompiling.
Extend sentences in other documentation linking to this manual to
say that it has a list of supported compilers.

Add CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR target property for executables. This is used by
subsequent patches to run exectuables created for the target system when
crosscompiling. The property is initialized by the
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR variable when defined.
These notes apply only for the use case of creating a package for
redistribution on machines other than that where it is built. Clarify
this to readers by placing the discussion in dedicated sections titled
accordingly.
Make wording of the directory and target properties more consitent
and complementary. Specify that the value is a ";-list" with a link
to the cmake-language(7) manual section on lists.
Define an empty string in CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_DEFAULT to mean that
the toolchain has no notion of lanuage standard levels. In this case
the <LANG>_STANDARD[_REQUIRED] properties will have no effect.
Update the RunCMake.CompileFeatures test to exclude the
LinkImplementationFeatureCycle test when there is no standard default.
It can never fail because no use of specific features will adjust the
CXX_STANDARD level required for any target since the standard levels
have no meaning in this case.
Support was added in commit v3.1.0-rc1~475^2 (Features: Add support
for C++14 features., 2014-05-06), but the documentation for this
property was not amended.
Also add a 'CMAKE_ANDROID_API_MIN' variable to set the property
default. Teach the VS generator to write the MIN API value into
Nsight Tegra project files.
8a75c7ef Help: Document the export limitation of INTERFACE_SOURCES.
e1348056 Export: Disallow export of targets with INTERFACE_SOURCES
bb5905bb cmTarget: Don't allow relative paths in INTERFACE_SOURCES
Also add a 'CMAKE_ANDROID_GUI' variable to set the property default
so a project can easily make all executables Android applications.
An Android application executable file has the same extension as a
shared library (.so).
The MSVC /ZW flag is valid only for C++ sources. Whenever we enable
CompileAsWinRT for the whole target, disable it for all C sources.
Update the documentation of VS_WINRT_COMPONENT to drop the statement
about undefined behavior for non-C++ sources, because it is now
defined as expected.
Deprecate VS_WINRT_EXTENSIONS and document VS_WINRT_COMPONENT as for VS
generators only. Also define _WINRT_DLL in SHARED libraries in order to
get a .lib produced.

Document the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<Config> properties as deprecated.
Add new sections for deprecated properties and move POST_INSTALL_SCRIPT
and PRE_INSTALL_SCRIPT there as well.
Explain how to use $<BUILD_INTERFACE> and $<INSTALL_INTERFACE> directly
in the documentation of the target_include_directories command and
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property. Otherwise readers need
to notice the link to the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual and find the
example in that to understand the need for these expressions.
Also fix the explanation in cmake-buildsystem(7) to not claim that
relative paths may be used inside a BUILD_INTERFACE expression.
Link to it from the documentation of related properties, variables
and commands.
Extend the cmake-developer(7) documentation with notes on
extending feature support for compilers.
Add properties and variables corresponding to CXX equivalents.
Add features for c_function_prototypes (C90), c_restrict (C99),
c_variadic_macros (C99) and c_static_assert (C11). This feature
set can be extended later.
Add a <PREFIX>_RESTRICT symbol define to WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
to conditionally represent the c_restrict feature.
Use the highest standard compile flags available if requested language
version is too new.
This supports use-cases like
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
# Compiled with -std=c++11 with GNU 4.7, which has no -std=c++14
# or equivalent flag
add_executable(main main.cpp)
This can be used in combination with preprocessor defines which
communicate the availability of certain language features for
optional use.
Extend the interface of the target_compile_features command with
PUBLIC and INTERFACE keywords. Populate the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property if they are set. Consume the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property from linked dependent targets to determine the final
required compiler features and the compile flag, if needed.
Use the same pattern of origin-debugging which is used for other
build properties.
Use the contents of it to upgrade the CXX_STANDARD target property,
if appropriate. This will have the effect of adding the -std=c++11
compile flag or other language specification on GNU when that is
needed for the feature.
