Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
This way messages can be issued independent of the cmake instance.
It is now possible to make DisplayMessage a virtual interface and
override it to handle messages in the cmake-gui or future IDE
interaction interfaces.
The force parameter is ugly and makes the method harder to reason about
(issues the message ... but maybe it doesn't ... but then again you can
force it). It is a violation of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_segregation_principle
and is the kind of thing described in a recent blog here:
http://code.joejag.com/2016/anti-if-the-missing-patterns.html
"Any time you see this you actually have two methods bundled into one.
That boolean represents an opportunity to name a concept in your code."
The makefile is only used when called by the cmMessageCommand, so inline
the use of it there. It otherwise creates an undesirable dependency on
cmMakefile for issuing messages in the cmake instance, a violation of
the Interface Segregation Principle.

This also makes it more explicit that the variable definitions only
affect the message() command. If an AUTHOR_WARNING is issued for any
other reason, it is not affected. To affect that, it is necessary to
set the cache variable instead of the regular variable.
This is an unfortunate interface quirk, but one which can't be fixed
easily now.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

Expand the -W set of cmake options to include support for the -Werror
and -Wno-error format, which is used to control upgrading and
downgrading warning and error messages. Implement support for these new
formats for the dev and deprecated message types.
Add tests and updated documentation for new options.
Explicitly enable deprecated warnings by default, via the
cmake::GetSuppressDeprecatedWarnings method, which signals
suppression is turned off unless the CMake variables are set
as required.
Add tests and update the documentation for the new
functionality.
Explicitly enable author warnings by default, via the
cmake::GetSuppressDevWarnings method, which signals suppression
is turned off unless the CMake variables are set as required.
Add test cases for author and deprecated messages displayed by
default.
Make the message suppression more consistent, by adding a check
for the message related CMake variables in cmake::IssueMessage,
which allows callers of IssueMessage other than the message
command to behave as expected. Also added a check for
CMAKE_SUPPRESS_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS in the message command to
mirror the deprecated message type behaviour.
Added a 'force' flag to the cmake::IssueMessage method, to
make the message suppression consistent, when setting the
message related CMake variables directly in a CMake file.
Expand message command tests to cover the AUTHOR_WARNING message
type as well.
The changes in commit c96fe0b4 (cmake: Add -W options to control
deprecation warnings and errors, 2015-07-28) fail to account for
-Wdev warnings produced by places in CMake other than message().
This causes a regression in which -Wno-dev fails to suppress such
warnings. Revert the feature until it can be revised accordingly.
The logic in commit c96fe0b4 (cmake: Add -W options to control
deprecation warnings and errors, 2015-07-28) accidentally enables
errors on warnings by default in scripts because there is no
initialization of CMAKE_SUPPRESS_DEVELOPER_ERRORS to TRUE.
Rename internal CMAKE_SUPPRESS_DEVELOPER_ERRORS cache entry to
CMAKE_ERROR_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS. Fix the logic in the message() command
to treat AUTHOR_WARNING as an error only if the option is explicitly
enabled.
Refactor the -Wdev and -Wno-dev to use a generic -W parser that follows
the GCC pattern. Include support for setting CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED and
CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED via the deprecated warning. Add -Werror=dev and
-Wno-error=dev options so that dev warning options are in line with
deprecated warning options. Use a new CMAKE_SUPPRESS_DEVELOPER_ERRORS
internal cache entry to store the above new dev options persistently.
Add tests for new options and updated cmake documentation and release
notes to list new options.
Avoid using the std::accumulate algorithm which is designed for
numeric types, not complex types. It introduces unneccessary
copies.
Initialize variables where they are populated.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
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.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
During testing of the new message() signatures I mistakenly concluded
that SEND_ERROR stops processing. The corresponding commit enforced
this wrong behavior. This restores the correct behavior and fixes the
documentation accordingly.
