We detect the implicit link directories for the toolchain by adding a
flag to get verbose output from the compiler front-end while linking the
ABI detection binary. Newer OS X toolchains based on Clang do not add
the implicit link directories with -L options to their internal
invocation of "ld". Instead they use a linker that comes with the
toolchain and is already configured with the proper directories.
Add the "-Wl,-v" option to ask "ld" to print its implicit directories.
It displays them in a block such as:
Library search paths:
/...
Parse this block to extract the implicit link directories.
While at it, remove the checks introduced by commit efaf335b (Skip
implicit link information on Xcode, 2009-07-23) and commit 5195a664
(Skip implicit link info for multiple OS X archs, 2009-09-22). Discard
the non-system link directories added by Xcode. Discard all detected
implicit libraries in the multi-architecture case but keep the
directories. The directories are still useful without the libraries
just to suppress addition of explicit -L options for them.
If you think about adding a new testcase then here is a small checklist you
can run through to find a proper place for it. Go through the list from the
beginning and stop once you find something that matches your tests needs,
i.e. if you will test a module and only need the configure mode use the
instructions from section 2, not 3.
1. Your testcase can run in CMake script mode, i.e. "cmake -P something"
Put your test in Tests/CMakeTests/ directory as a .cmake.in file. It will be
put into the test binary directory by configure_file(... @ONLY) and run from
there. Use the AddCMakeTest() macro in Tests/CMakeTests/CMakeLists.txt to add
your test to the test runs.
2. Your test needs CMake to run in configure mode, but will not build anything
This includes tests that will build something using try_compile() and friends,
but nothing that expects add_executable(), add_library(), or add_test() to run.
If the test configures the project only once and it must succeed then put it
into the Tests/CMakeOnly/ directory. Create a subdirectory named like your
test and write the CMakeLists.txt you need into that subdirectory. Use the
add_CMakeOnly_test() macro from Tests/CMakeOnly/CMakeLists.txt to add your
test to the test runs.
If the test configures the project with multiple variations and verifies
success or failure each time then put it into the Tests/RunCMake/ directory.
Read the instructions in Tests/RunCMake/CMakeLists.txt to add a test.
3. If you are testing something from the Modules directory
Put your test in the Tests/Modules/ directory. Create a subdirectory there
named after your test. Use the ADD_TEST_MACRO macro from Tests/CMakeLists.txt
to add your test to the test run. If you have put your stuff in
Tests/Modules/Foo then you call it using ADD_TEST_MACRO(Module.Foo Foo).
4. You are doing other stuff.
Find a good place ;) In doubt mail to cmake-developers@cmake.org and ask for
advise.
