Makefile dependencies must be escaped using cmLocalGenerator::Convert
with the cmLocalGenerator::MAKEFILE option. This fixes Fortran module
dependencies with spaces in the path. We test the fix by adding a space
to one of the module paths in the Fortran test.
If APPEND is given to ctest_start, it will read the tag from the current existing Testing/TAG file rather than creating a new one based on the current time stamp. This allows a developer to run several dashboard scripts in a row, all of which will share the same tag/stamp/buildid when they finally get submitted to CDash. Now you can split the running of build phases and test phases for the same dashboard row into multiple scripts.
The commit "Make CTestTestTimeout time configurable" added a CMake cache
variable CTestTestTimeout_TIME to configure the length of the timeout
used by the inner CTestTestTimeout test. The reason was to allow users
on slow machines to give this test some extra time without extending the
timeout for everyone. However, Cygwin CMake seems to load slowly enough
that it is worth a longer default timeout for that platform.
The commit "Submit Subversion directory path in Update.xml" added the
element <SVNPath>...</SVNPath> to Update.xml for Subversion work trees.
This commit teaches the CTest.UpdateSVN test to verify the presence of
the element.
We teach CTest to report in a <Revision> element the revision of the
source tree that was tested. This makes sense for all modern VCS tools
because they version the whole tree. We simply omit this element for
CVS because it only versions files. See issue #7541.
We teach ADD_TEST_MACRO to transform names of the form "Namespace.Name"
to the directory "Namespace/Name" and the project name "Name". This
will allow new tests to be better organized.
The test overrides the CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS to test
passing a specific flag to the compiler wrapper scripts. We fix it to
honor any outside flags needed for the real compiler.
The commit "FortranCInterface: Honor language flags in checks" taught
the FortranCInterface module to pass C and Fortran flags into its
detection and verification checks. We improve on the change to allow
the '=' character in the language flags. This requires passing the
cache entry type with the -D options.
We create test FortranC.Flags to try passing per-language flags from a
project into its FortranCInterface detect/verify checks. We wrap the
compilers with scripts that enforce presence of expected flags.
CMake does not enable Fortran for its own build, but it needs to find a
Fortran compiler to know if it is possible to enable Fortran tests.
Previously we searched for a hard-coded list of Fortran compilers which
was duplicated from the CMakeDetermineFortranCompiler.cmake module. We
now run CMake on a small test project that enables the Fortran language
and reports the compiler it found. This represents a more realistic
check of whether the Fortran tests will be able to find a compiler.
Previously our EnforceConfig script that loads at test-time would only
enforce a non-empty CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE for CMake 2.6.2 and lower.
Now we simply always enforce use of a configuration, and select one of
the configurations that was built if none is given.
This is necessary to run tests like CMake.Install that need to know the
configuration with which CMake was built.
We create option CMake_TEST_INSTALL to enable a new CMake.Install test.
It tests running the "make install" target to install CMake itself into
a test directory. We enable the option by default for dashboard builds.
We configure an EnforceConfig.cmake script to load at CTest time.
Previously we loaded it from Tests/CTestTestfile.cmake, but now we load
it from the top level so it applies to all tests.
Xcode 2.x forgets to create the target output directory before linking
the individual architecture pieces of a universal binary for the target
CMakeLibTests. Then it passes the directory to -L and -F options when
linking the and warns that the directory does not exist. We work around
the problem by using a pre-build rule on the target to create the output
directory.
We re-arrange EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH settings to avoid putting utility
and test executables in the 'bin' directory of the build tree. This
makes the directory look like that in the installation tree, except that
on multi-configuration generators we still use a per-config
subdirectory.
The DumpDocumentation executable and some supporting code and tests were
completely unused by CMake. Generation of documentation is done by the
individual executables with --help* options. In this commit we simply
remove the unused code, executable, and test.
In this test we start up a cmake script that runs a process that sleeps,
and the timeout for the script is shorter than the sleep time. However,
in order to properly detect that the sleeping grandchild is killed when
the script times out we need to give sufficient time for the script to
start the grandchild. Otherwise the log file for the grandchild is not
available.
On some (cygwin) builds our previous 1 second timeout for the script was
not long enough to let the interpreter load and start the grandchild.
We make the timeout time configurable by setting CTestTestTimeout_TIME
in the cache for CMake itself. It tells the test how long to let the
script run. The grandchild always sleeps for 4 seconds longer to ensure
a comfortable window during which the process tree can be killed.
This test requires that the dashboard script it drives be invoked with
"ctest -C <config> -S ...". We create a "CTestTest_CONFIG" variable to
hold a configuration selected at test time. We use the configuration
given to the outer CTest, if any, and then default to either Debug or
the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
We extend the CTestTestTimeout test to check that when a test times out
its children (grandchildren of ctest) are killed. Instead of running
the timeout executable directly, we run it through a cmake script that
redirects the timeout executable output to a file. A second test later
runs and verifies that the timeout executable was unable to complete and
write data to the log file. Only if the first inner test times out and
the second inner test passes (log is empty) does the CTestTestTimeout
test pass.
The commit "Fake $HOME to isolate tests from user" started setting $HOME
in the CTest script environment. On some platforms tests depend on some
local configuration in the home directory, such as the "cvs login" for
KWSys in CTestTest3.
In this commit we now construct a fake home dir during CMake config step
and populate it with a .cvspass file needed by the test. We also check
CTEST_NO_TEST_HOME to optionally disable the test home.
See issue #9949.
On platforms with $HOME in the environment, some of our features use it
to store information in the user home directory. However, tests for
these features should not touch the real user home directory. Instead
we configure a fake $HOME that points inside the build tree for use
during testing.
See issue #9949.
The commit "Fix get_filename_component ABSOLUTE mode" broke REALPATH
treatment of relative paths because it stopped storing the absolute path
in local variable 'filename'. This commit fixes the call to GetRealPath
to use the proper local variable and adds a test.
Some compilers use implicit link options of the form
-lcrt*.o
-lgcc*
-lSystem (on Mac)
-lSystemStubs (on Mac)
that provide system-wide symbols not specific to any language.
These need not be listed explicitly for mixed-language linking.
We teach CMake to remove the above items from the implicit library list
of each language. This change makes it possible to mix GNU compiler
versions in some cases.
This allows for a built in bzip and zip capability, so external tools
will not be needed for these packagers. The cmake -E tar xf should be
able to handle all compression types now as well.
The commit "Test per-config OUTPUT_DIRECTORY properties" added this test
with a find_library() call in a CMake script, which requires an explicit
list of possible library prefixes and suffixes. This commit adds more
suffixes to match the libraries built on HP, MinGW, and Cygwin.
We test (ARCHIVE|LIBRARY|RUNTIME)_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> properties
by building COnly as a subdirectory and setting the properties to put
its files in specific locations. We build an executable that verifies
the targets actually appear where expected.
The BuildDepends test exercises incremental linking with MSVC and Intel
tools on Windows. In some cases the Intel compiler creates objects that
cause the MS linker it invokes to crash during incremental linking. We
avoid the problem for this test by disabling incremental linking.
We introduce the "CMake.If" test to try out conversion of constants and
variables to boolean values in the if() command. We cover both OLD and
NEW behavior for policy CMP0012.
The commit "Test all target types in Fortran" enabled a SHARED library
in the Fortran test. However, we do not yet implement support for
shared libraries with XL Fortran (it seems this requires using the C
compiler to link). Furthermore, the old g77 2.97 from Red Hat does not
support shared libs on Itanium because the g2c lib is not -fPIC.
For now we just disable SHARED libs in the test for these tools.
We add Intel and MinGW Fortran linker options to create the import
library portion of a DLL. This allows other binaries to link to a
Fortran DLL.
We also update the Fortran test to use a .def file to specify exports
since there is no __declspec(dllexport) markup syntax in Fortran.
To enable this test, the option TEST_KDE4_STABLE_BRANCH must be switched on.
It can only be switched on if CMAKE_RUN_LONG_TESTS is ON.
Then the test will only be added if Qt >= 4.5 can be found, Perl can be
found and ZLIB can be found.
Alex
This commit re-writes Borland compiler build rules. We split the rules
into modern <os>-<id>-<lang> information modules but share a common
macro between languages to avoid duplication.
We also address a bug in the previous rules that would build some target
types against the static Borland runtime and others against the shared
Borland runtime in one build tree. Now we always use the shared runtime
as is the default in the rules for MS tools.
Previously we passed inputs to the decision to each Complex test and let
the test source decide. This commit moves the decision out of the tests
and makes it an option() in their source. This makes it possible to
build the Complex tests from outside the CMake test tree.
When <pkg>_DIR is set to an incorrect version we search again and store
the result in the variable, even if it is <pkg>_DIR-NOTFOUND.
There was a bug in the case when the new search does not find anything
and the old value came from a cache entry with UNINITALIZED type. The
command used to try to load a package configuration file from the last
place searched, and would leave the old wrong value in the entry. This
commit fixes the behavior to avoid trying to load a missing file and to
set the value to <pkg>_DIR-NOTFOUND as expected.
The regex used by CMAKE_PARSE_IMPLICIT_LINK_INFO to detect link lines
should not match lines that happen to have ".../ld.../..." in them. A
linker name should match only as the last component of a path.
See issue #9666.
This commit teaches the CMAKE_PARSE_IMPLICIT_LINK_INFO function to log
its actions. We store the log in CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log at the top
of the project build tree. This will make diagnosis of implicit link
information parsing problems easier.
In the Fortran test we use a custom command to build another Fortran
project internally. The project provides a Fortran module and library
to which to link. This commit teaches the test to build the extra
project using the same build configuration as the main project.
We need to leave out the '%' character from tests with the Intel
compiler. Since '%' needs to be written '%%' in NMake when not using a
response file but just '%' when using a response file, we just skip the
character for now. It works with MSVC in NMake only because that
compiler expects '%%' inside response files, which do get used.
CMake defines MSVC only for a VS compiler, but the Intel compiler adds
the preprocessor definition _MSC_VER. Instead of relying on separate
tests to decide whether to use example_dll_2, we do one test in CMake
and then add our own preprocessor definition.
We test this by adding export(TARGETS) to the LinkLanguage test to
export the executable before the library is linked to it. Since
export(TARGETS) computes the link interface of the target (so that it
can export it), this ensures that the information is recomputed after
the link library is added.
This adds a "ModuleDefinition" test enabled when using MSVC tools. It
checks that .def files can be used to export .dll and .exe symbols and
create corresponding .lib files that can be linked. See issue #9613.
Policy CMP0002's OLD behavior allows duplicate non-custom targets. We
test it with a project that builds two executables of the same name by
setting CMP0002 to OLD.
The flag "-_this_is_not_a_flag_" was not rejected by GCC 4.0 on older
Mac OS X. We now use "---_this_is_not_a_flag_" instead, which will
hopefully be rejected by all compilers.
The CMake.File test runs several scripts through "cmake -P" and checks
the output and result against known good values. This commit factors
out the checking code into a separate CMakeCheckTest module. The module
may be used by new tests.
This commit teaches the FunctionTest to check variable scope behavior
when a subdirectory is added inside a function call. Any PARENT_SCOPE
sets in the subdirectory should affect only the function scope which
called add_subdirectory and not its parent scope.
CMake now looks for a Fortran compiler matching any C or C++ compiler
already enabled. We test this by enabling C and C++ first in the
Fortran test, which is what user projects will likely do.
Visual Studio 10 uses MSBuild to drive the build. Custom commands
appear in MSBuild files inside CustomBuild elements, which appear inside
ItemGroup elements. The Outputs and AdditionalInputs elements of each
CustomBuild element are evaluated according to timestamps on disk.
MSBuild does not use inputs/outputs to order CustomBuild steps within a
single ItemGroup or across multiple ItemGroup elements. Instead we must
put only unrelated CustomBuild elements in a single ItemGroup and order
the item groups from top to bottom using a topological order of the
custom command dependency graph.
This fixes CustomCommand and ExternalProject test failures, so we remove
the expectation of these failures.
Part of this test does "git pull" on a dirty work tree. We need to make
sure that 'branch.master.rebase' is false for the test repository.
Otherwise if it is true in the user configuration then pull will refuse
to rebase and the test will fail.
We teach the FindPackageTest to build a sample project that stores its
build tree in the user package registry using export(PACKAGE), and then
find it with find_package.
We test that LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY propagates through export() and
install(EXPORT) into dependent projects. A simple cycle of two archives
that need to be scanned three times ensures that the importing project
uses the multiplicity correctly.
This function builds a simple test project using a combination of
Fortran and C (and optionally C++) to verify that the compilers are
compatible. The idea is to help projects report very early to users
that the compilers specified cannot mix languages.
This teaches the 'testing' test to try generator expressions in
arguments to add_test(NAME). This test case mimics a common use-case of
passing executables to test driver scripts. We excercise the syntax for
per-configuration target file names.
This is a new FortranCInterface.cmake module to replace the previous
prototype. All module support files lie in a FortranCInterface
directory next to it.
This module uses a new approach to detect Fortran symbol mangling. We
build a single test project which defines symbols in a Fortran library
(one per object-file) and calls them from a Fortran executable. The
executable links to a C library which defines symbols encoding all known
manglings (one per object-file). The C library falls back to the
Fortran library for symbols it cannot provide. Therefore the executable
will always link, but prefers the C-implemented symbols when they match.
These symbols store string literals of the form INFO:symbol[<name>] so
we can parse them out of the executable.
This module also provides a simpler interface. It always detects the
mangling as soon as it is included. A single macro is provided to
generate mangling macros and optionally pre-mangled symbols.
The try_compile command builds the cmTryCompileExec executable using the
cmTryCompileExec/fast target with Makefile generators in order to save
time since dependencies are not needed. However, in project mode the
command builds an entire source tree that may have dependencies.
Therefore we can use the /fast target approach only in one-source mode.
Previously the Fortran test created a single executable containing C,
C++, and Fortran sources. This commit divides the executable into three
libraries corresponding to each language, and two executables testing
Fortran/C only and Fortran/C/C++ together. The result tests more
combinations of using the languages together, and that language
requirements propagate through linking.
When building an entire source tree with try_compile instead of just a
single source file, it is possible that the CMakeLists.txt file in the
try-compiled project invokes try_compile. This commit fixes propagation
of language-initialization results from the outer-most project into any
number of try-compile levels.
The try_compile command project mode builds an entire source tree
instead of one source file. It uses an existing CMakeLists.txt file in
the given source tree instead of generating one. This commit creates a
test for the mode in the TryCompile test.
This adds sample linker invocation lines for the Intel compiler on
Linux. In particular, this exercises the case when "ld" appears without
a full path.
The Sun Fortran compiler passes -zallextract and -zdefaultextract to the
linker so that all objects from one of its archives are included in the
link. This teaches the implicit options parser to recognize the flags.
We need to pass them explicitly on C++ link lines when Fortran code is
linked.
This extends the Fortran-to-C interface test to add a C++ source file.
The executable can only link with the C++ linker and with the proper
Fortran runtime libraries. These libraries should be detected by CMake
automatically, so this tests verifies the detection functionality.
This hack was created to help the Fortran test executables link to the
implicit C libraries added by BullsEye. Now that implicit libraries
from all languages are detected and included automatically the hack is
no longer needed.
This teaches the SystemInformation test to report the CMake log files
CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log from the CMake build tree and from
the SystemInformation test build tree. These logs may help diagnose
dashboard problems remotely.
This extends the Fortran/C interface test to require that the executable
link to the fortran language runtime libraries. We must verify that the
proper linker is chosen.
The commit "Avoid case change in ImplicitLinkInfo test" did not change
all of the paths to mingw, so some case change still occurs. This
changes more of them.
Since "get_filename_component(... ABSOLUTE)" retrieves the actual case
for existing paths on windows, we need to use an obscure path for mingw.
Otherwise the test can fail just because the case of the paths changes.
This tests the internal CMakeParseImplicitLinkInfo.cmake module to
ensure that implicit link information is extracted correctly. The test
contains many manually verified examples from a variety of systems.
This teaches CMake to detect implicit link information for C, C++, and
Fortran compilers. We detect the implicit linker search directories and
implicit linker options for UNIX-like environments using verbose output
from compiler front-ends. We store results in new variables called
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES
The implicit libraries can contain linker flags as well as library
names.
The command "set(... PARENT_SCOPE)" should never affect the calling
scope. This improves the Function test to check that such calls in a
subdirectory scope affect the parent but not the child.
When this test was renamed from DumpInformation to SystemInformation the
configured header that points the dump executable to the directory
containing information files was broken. No information has been dumped
by this test for 2 years! This fixes it.
The ExportImport test drives its Export and Import projects using the
same compiler and flags. This converts the ctest --build-and-test
command lines to use an initial cache file instead of passing all
settings on the command line.
We need a shorter command line to pass through VS 6 on Win98.
This approach reduces duplicate code anyway.
cmCTestScriptHandler, but have it load the new script CTestScriptMode.cmake
-> that makes it more flexible, also add a simple test that the system name
has been determined correctly
Alex
This extends the ExportImport test. The Export project creates a C++
static library and exports it. Then the Import project links the
library into a C executable. On most platforms the executable will link
only if the C++ linker is chosen correctly.
This test creates a C executable that links to a C++ static library. On
most platforms the executable will not link unless the C++ linker is
chosen correctly.
This creates cmCTestHG to drive CTest Update handling on hg-based work
trees. Currently we always update to the head of the remote tracking
branch (hg pull), so the nightly start time is ignored for Nightly
builds. A later change will address this.
See issue #7879. Patch from Emmanuel Christophe. I modified the patch
slightly for code style, to finish up some parsing details, and to fix
the test.
This creates new module ExternalProject.cmake to replace the prototype
AddExternalProject.cmake module. The interface is more refined, more
flexible, and better documented than the prototype.
This also converts the ExternalProject test to use the new module. The
old module will be removed (it was never in a CMake release) after
projects using it have been converted to the new module.
This test requires a long time on slower machines, so we need to extend
its timeout. It is an important test, so it does not fall under the
CMAKE_RUN_LONG_TESTS option. In the future we should try to shorten the
test by building simpler external projects.
The test needs to create a cvs repository with 'cvs init', but the CVSNT
client on Windows needs 'cvs init -n' to avoid administrator access.
Previously we required users to explicitly enable CTEST_TEST_UPDATE_CVS
to activate the test on Windows.
This teaches the test to use the '-n' option when necessary. Now we can
enable the test in all cases except when trying to use a cygwin cvs.exe
without cygwin paths.
If an executable marks symbols with __declspec(dllexport) then VS
creates an import library for it. However, it forgets to create the
directory that will contain the import library if it is different from
the location of the executable. We work around this VS bug by creating
a pre-build event on the executable target to make the directory.
The BZR xml output plugin can use some encodings that are not recognized
by expat, which leads to "Error parsing bzr log xml: unknown encoding".
This works around the problem by giving expat a mapping, and adds a
test. Patch from Tom Vercauteren. See issue #6857.
This creates cmCTestBZR to drive CTest Update handling on bzr-based work
trees. Currently we always update to the head of the remote tracking
branch (bzr pull), so the nightly start time is ignored for Nightly
builds. A later change will address this. Patch from Tom Vercauteren.
See issue #6857.
CMake directory removal code cannot remove content from read-only
directories (a separate bug which will be fixed). Therefore we should
not create them in the StringFileTest. This tweaks the file(COPY) call
to test not giving OWNER_WRITE to files rather than directories.
This property was left from before CMake always linked using full path
library names for targets it builds. In order to safely link with
"-lfoo" we needed to avoid having both shared and static libraries in
the build tree for targets that switch on BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. This meant
cleaning both shared and static names before creating the library, which
led to the creation of CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT to disable the behavior.
Now that we always link with a full path we do not need to clean old
library names left from an alternate setting of BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. This
change removes the CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT property and instead uses its
behavior always. It removes some complexity from cmTarget internally.
This creates target properties ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME, LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME,
and RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME, and per-configuration equivalent properties
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>, LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>, and
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>. They allow specification of target output
file names on a per-type, per-configuration basis. For example, a .dll
and its .lib import library may have different base names.
For consistency and to avoid ambiguity, the old <CONFIG>_OUTPUT_NAME
property is now also available as OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>.
See issue #8920.
The file(INSTALL) command has long been undocumented and used only to
implement install() scripts. We now document it and provide a similar
file(COPY) signature which is useful in general-purpose scripts. It
provides the capabilities of install(DIRECTORY) and install(FILES) but
operates immediately instead of contributing to install scripts.
This extends the Preprocessor test to put spaces in the value of a
definition that is not a quoted string. In particular this tests that
VS6 supports values with spaces if they do not have '"', '$', or ';'.
See issue #8779.
Previously we rejected all preprocessor definition values containing
spaces for the VS6 IDE generator. In fact VS6 does support spaces but
not in combination with '"', '$', or ';', and only if we use the sytnax
'-DNAME="value with spaces"' instead of '-D"NAME=value with spaces"'.
Now we support all definition values that do not have one of these
invalid pairs. See issue #8779.
This creates cmCTestGIT to drive CTest Update handling on git-based work
trees. Currently we always update to the head of the remote tracking
branch (git pull), so the nightly start time is ignored for Nightly
builds. A later change will address this. See issue #6994.
The add_external_project function separates its arguments with ';'
separators, so previously no command line argument could contain one.
When specifying CMAKE_ARGS, some -D argument values may need to contain
a semicolon to form lists in the external project cache.
This adds add_external_project argument LIST_SEPARATOR to specify a list
separator string. The separator is replaced by ';' in arguments to any
command created to drive the external project. For example:
add_external_project(...
LIST_SEPARATOR ::
CMAKE_ARGS -DSOME_LIST:STRING=A::B::C
...)
passes "-DSOME_LIST:STRING=A;B;C" to CMake for the external project.
Linking to a Windows shared library (.dll) requires only its import
library (.lib). This teaches CMake to recognize SHARED IMPORTED library
targets that set only IMPORTED_IMPLIB and not IMPORTED_LOCATION.
CVS clients recognize file modifications only if a file's timestamp is
newer than its CVS/Entries line. This fixes intermittent failure of the
test on filesystems with low timestamp resolution by delaying before
creating a local modification.
This creates function 'add_external_project_step' to centralize creation
of external project steps. Users may call it to add custom steps to
external project builds.
The value of CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE is supposed to be the list file
currently being executed. Before macros were introduced this was always
the context of the argument referencing the variable.
Our original implementation of macros replaced the context of command
arguments inside the macro with that of the arguments of the calling
context. This worked recursively, but only worked when macros had at
least one argument. Furthermore, it caused parsing errors of the
arguments to report the wrong location (calling context instead of line
with error).
The commit "Improve context for errors in macros" fixed the latter bug
by keeping the lexical context of command arguments in macros. It broke
evaluation of CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE because the calling context was no
longer preserved in the argument referencing the variable. However,
since our list file processing now maintains the proper value of
CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE with dynamic scope we no longer need the context
of the argument and can just evaluate the variable normally.
The add_definitions() command and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS dir/tgt/src
properties support preprocessor definitions with values. Previously
values were not supported in the VS6 generator even though the native
tool supports them. It is only values with spaces that VS6 does not
support. This enables support and instead complains only for values
with spaces. See issue #8779.
The patch step runs parallel to the update step since it does not make
sense to have both. Configuration of the step requires specification of
a PATCH_COMMAND argument to add_external_project.
This rewrites the keyword/argument parsing and handling in the
AddExternalProject module to use arguments more literally:
- The strict keyword-value pairing is gone in favor of keywords with
arbitrary non-keyword values. This avoids requiring users to escape
spaces and quotes in command lines.
- Customized step command lines are now specified with a single
keyword <step>_COMMAND instead of putting the arguments in a
separate entry (previously called <step>_ARGS).
- Build step custom commands now use VERBATIM mode so that arguments
are correctly escaped on the command line during builds.
This creates a new mode of the foreach command which allows precise
iteration even over empty elements. This mode may be safely extended
with more keyword arguments in the future. The cost now is possibly
breaking scripts that iterate over a list of items beginning with 'IN',
but there is no other way to extend the syntax in a readable way.
