Notes:
VS2015 and above are the only MSVC versions to support cxx_final, so remove
usages from the tests, and instead only test for cxx_override.
VS2012 and above to conform to cxx_decltype_incomplete_return_types
proposal, but without support for auto return types the dcl.type.simple
example in the proposal doesn't compile.
VS2013 and above to conform to the updated cxx_contextual_conversions proposal,
but VS2010 and above pass the test.
Compilers such as MSVC have no explicit flags to enable C++11 mode,
it just is always on. So only run the link tests with compilers that require
a flag to specify the language version.
Initializer lists are only properly supported in 2015 and above.
Previous Visual Studio releases said they supported initializer lists
but silently produced bad code.
Previously we expanded HAVE_FINAL to determine what the copied_file number
would be, but when we don't have cxx_final than HAVE_FINAL is not defined.
What we really want is to use expected_result.
Because not all compilers under test support the existing 'activation
features', add another test to ensure that compilers which support
both static_assert and nullptr behave as expected in this test.
The purpose of the feature listing in these tests is to make other
features from the same feature set (eg "C++11 features") available.
The compilers under test until now have supported these 'activation
features', but MSVC does not. Use the cxx_static_assert feature
instead to activate the feature set.
The tests below test the presence of both cxx_final and cxx_override,
only one of which is supported by MSVC. The test is in part intended
to verify that the COMPILE_FEATURES genex supports multiple arguments
and allows users to define names for groups of features (Clang already
calls cxx_final and cxx_override 'override control' as a group). Keep
the test, and allow the expectation to be set as appropriate.
07fc7b75 Tests: Test using objects from a language enabled in a subdirectory (#15325)
fdbfcfdf Ninja: Generate rules only for languages compiled in a target (#15325)
The SunPro Fortran compiler uses "-F" instead of "-E" to request
preprocessing. The output does not go to stdout so use "-o" to
specify the output file.
This fixes the guess originally made by commit b6b37e30 (Makefile: Add
assembly and preprocessed targets for Fortran, 2014-11-05).

The change in commit v3.1.0-rc1~174^2 (Makefile: Handle '#' in
COMPILE_OPTIONS, 2014-08-12) was not compatible with code that
tries to workaround the original bug. Unfortunately there is no
good way to fix the bug in a compatible way. Add a release note
to call attention to the change.
Add a test case that enables CXX in the top level and C in a subdirectory.
Create an executable in the top level that uses C objects compiled in the
subdirectory. Strictly speaking this is not defined behavior for all
language combinations, but happens to work in this case. Test this
behavior since projects might try to use it.
Refactoring in commit v3.1.0-rc1~688^2~2 (cmTarget: Compute languages
from object libraries on demand, 2014-03-18) taught cmTarget::GetLanguages
to (correctly) include the languages of object library sources. Previously
this was done only in cmTarget::ComputeLinkImplementationLanguages to
choose the linker language.
The Ninja generator writes out generic build rules for each language
compiled within a target using the rule variables defined in the
directory of the target. This only needs to be done for languages
actually compiled within the current target. Switch from using the
cmTarget::GetLanguages method to get the list of languages over to
using cmTarget::GetSourceFiles directly so we do not get the languages
in object libraries.
Strictly speaking this should make no difference because it is not safe
to use objects from a language not enabled in the directory containing
a target or else the link information for the language may not be
considered. However, in cases when no link information happens to be
needed for a language it was possible in CMake 3.0 and below to enable
a language only in a subdirectory providing an object library, and then
use the objects from a containing directory. The above change teaches
the Ninja generator to continue working in this case.
