Clang is smart enough to recognize that "*(int*)0=0" invokes undefined
behavior, warns, and produces an "undefined instruction". The message
in commit "Avoid Clang optimizer bug in testProcess-[45]" (2010-07-02)
is incorrect; this is not a Clang bug. It really is undefined
behavior. Use "*(int*)1=0" to produce a crash instead.
Clang's optimizer, as of clang version 2.8 (trunk 107463), produces the
undefined instruction 'ud2' for the code "*(int*)0=0" on OS X x86_64.
It causes our crash tests to fail because the child process exits with
an invalid instruction instead of a segmentation fault. Work around the
bug by using "*(int*)1=0" in this case.
Add option KWSYS_TEST_BOGUS_FAILURES that can be set by a containing
project or in the CMake cache to list tests known to fail consistently
on a buggy system.
Commit ff1f8d0b (Fix or cast more integer conversions in cmake) changed
a member type from int to size_t. Update the types of variables
compared to these values to be unsigned also.
Both possible result values need to be convertible to the same type.
Some compilers fail to recognize that they can construct std::string
from the empty string literal, so state it explicitly.
Since commit "Provide unix-sytle command line parsing" (2009-07-13) the
reference to KWSYS_C_HAS_PTRDIFF_T in System.c has been meaningless
because the macro was never passed to the compiler!
Separation by ',' only works in VS 2008 and below and does not work in
the PlayStation3 VS plugin. Separation by ';' works in VS 10 and all
prior versions.
Change types of local variables, or casting, or re-arrange
expressions to get rid of "conversion may alter value" warnings
as seen on recent dashboard submissions from londinium.kitware.
I naively assumed in my previous commit that the Convert call
would correctly convert a relative path file name correctly
relative to the makefile's current output directory. It actually
converts it relative to the process's current working directory.
So it would be different depending on how you launched cmake-gui.
This commit ensures that the generated files are always the same
by starting with a full path to begin with, based on the makefile
GetCurrentOutputDirectory method.
Git's diff-tree format has no '\n'-terminated blank line at the end of
its commit message body block if there are no diff lines. Instead the
message body is terminated by '\0' and there is no diff section. Teach
CTest to parse the format in this case.
This is especially important for the Visual Studio 10
generator and its quirky current working directory
behavior.
Also, emit more information about exactly what files are
out of date when cmakeCheckStampFile returns false.
Commit 02f7cfbc (Need to remove the MAKEFLAGS when cmake starts,
2003-05-13) removed the MAKEFLAGS environment variable when CMake starts
to prevent try_compile() from inheriting "make -i". This is unnecessary
in script mode (cmake -P). Instead remove the variable only when
configuring a project.
Tru64's make(1) resolves relative paths in "include" directives with
respect to the includer. This is inconsistent with all other known make
tools. Note that this make tool treats the path literally so we cannot
use our standard FULL path code which escapes spaces. Instead qualify
the paths with $(CMAKE_BINARY_DIR) to avoid the problem.
GCC places the vtable in the object implementing the first non-pure,
non-inline virtual method. Since the symbol is not weak on Tru64, make
the location unique by putting the destructor in a single object file.
The DynamicLoader::LibPrefix and DynamicLoader::LibExtension methods
previously hard-coded the module name components for each platform. Set
them from the CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_PREFIX and CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_SUFFIX
CMake variables instead. This ensures consistency in a program that
uses these methods to construct the file names for its own modules.
Use 'git fetch' followed by 'git reset' to update the source tree. This
is better than 'git pull' because it can handle a rewritten upstream
branch and does not leave local modifications. After fetch, parse
FETCH_HEAD to find the merge head that 'git pull' would choose to track
the upstream branch. Then reset to the selected head.
In the normal fast-forward case the behavior remains unchanged.
However, now local modifications and commits will be erased, and
upstream rewrites are handled smoothly. This ensures that the upstream
branch is tested as expected.
Commit 67277bac (Teach ctest_update about Git submodules, 2010-05-04)
accidentally logged "git submodule update" with the prefixes "pull-out"
and "pull-err". Fix it to use "submodule-out" and "submodule-err"
instead.
The CopyFileIfDifferent, CopyFileAlways, CopyAFile and CopyADirectory
methods should always copy permissions. The special cases in which a
caller would pass copyPermissions=false should be handled at the call
site. The parameter needlessly complicates the interface and semantics
of these methods.
If there is a .bat or .cmd file used as a custom command
then the Borland Makefiles generator (specifically) requires
using the "call " syntax before the name of the .bat or .cmd
file. This fix applies to all Makefile based generators where
WindowsShell is true.
On Windows 7 the file size reported by 'stat' on a new file sometimes
reports zero even though the real size is correct. This causes our
CopyFileAlways method to falsely detect copy failure. Work around the
problem by trusting the state of ofstream after writing the file.
Commit 0fafdb7e (Do not copy permissions of files when making the copy
in an install rule, 2008-12-18) added special behavior to KWSys file
copy methods for this special case. Use a local solution to avoid use
of the special behavior so it can be removed later.
Commit 8d0161c8 (Trust umask for file permissions, 2010-01-12) taught
these commands to set permissions to 0666 explicitly. The intention was
to let the open() call inside ofstream handle permsisions so that umask
would be honored. Now we set permissions only when we need to preserve
those on an existing file. New files will be created with umask-based
permissions.
The LINK_FLAGS property is defined only for targets that really link.
These include executables and shared libraries. For static libraries we
define the STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS property. Teach the Xcode generator to
make this distinction.
Improve FILE(DOWNLOAD ...):
- Add percent complete progress output to the FILE DOWNLOAD
command. This progress output is off by default to
preserve existing behavior. To turn it on, pass
SHOW_PROGRESS as an argument.
- Add EXPECTED_MD5 argument. Verify that the downloaded
file has the expected md5 sum after download is complete.
- Add documentation for SHOW_PROGRESS and EXPECTED_MD5.
When the destination file exists already and has the
expected md5 sum, then do not bother re-downloading
the file. ("Short circuit" return.)
Also, add a test that checks for the status output
indicating that the short circuit behavior is actually
occurring. Use a binary file for the test so that the
md5 sum is guaranteed to be the same on all platforms
regardless of "shifting text file line ending" issues.
Improve ExternalProject:
- Add argument URL_MD5.
- Add verify step that compares md5 sum of .tar.gz file
before extracting it.
- Add md5 check to download step, too, to prevent
unnecessary downloads.
- Emit a warning message when a file is not verified.
Indicate that the file may be corrupt or that no
checksum was specified.
Only generate .filters files if they are different than the last time
they were generated. This should prevent the unnecessary reloads
being triggered with Visual Studio 2010 builds.
