Since commit v3.4.0-rc1~321^2~2 (Genex: Store a backtrace, not a pointer to one, 2015-07-08) we treat cmListFileBacktrace instances as lightweight values. This was true at the time only because the backtrace information was kept in the cmState snapshot hierarchy. However, that forced us to accumulate a lot of otherwise short-lived snapshots just to have the backtrace fields available for reference by cmListFileBacktrace instances. Recent refactoring made backtrace instances independent of the snapshot hierarchy to avoid accumulating short-lived snapshots. This came at the cost of making backtrace values heavy again, leading to lots of string coying and slower execution. Fix this by refactoring cmListFileBacktrace to provide value semantics with efficient shared storage underneath. Teach cmMakefile to maintain its call stack using an instance of cmListFileBacktrace. This approach allows the current backtrace to be efficiently saved whenever it is needed. Also teach cmListFileBacktrace the notion of a file-level scope. This is useful for messages about the whole file (e.g. during parsing) that are not specific to any line within it. Push the CMakeLists.txt scope for each directory and never pop it. This ensures that we always have some context information and simplifies cmMakefile::IssueMessage. Push/pop a file-level scope as each included file is processed. This supersedes cmParseFileScope and improves diagnostic message context information in a few places. Fix the corresponding test cases to expect the improved output.
CMake ***** Introduction ============ CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system generator. For full documentation visit the `CMake Home Page`_ and the `CMake Documentation Page`_. .. _`CMake Home Page`: https://cmake.org .. _`CMake Documentation Page`: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/documentation.html CMake is maintained and supported by `Kitware`_ and developed in collaboration with a productive community of contributors. .. _`Kitware`: http://www.kitware.com/cmake License ======= CMake is distributed under the OSI-approved BSD 3-clause License. See `Copyright.txt`_ for details. .. _`Copyright.txt`: Copyright.txt Building CMake ============== Supported Platforms ------------------- MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not it should not be a major problem to port CMake to this platform. Subscribe and post to the `CMake Users List`_ to ask if others have had experience with the platform. .. _`CMake Users List`: https://cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake Building CMake from Scratch --------------------------- UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You need to have a compiler and a make installed. Run the ``bootstrap`` script you find in the source directory of CMake. You can use the ``--help`` option to see the supported options. You may use the ``--prefix=<install_prefix>`` option to specify a custom installation directory for CMake. You can run the ``bootstrap`` script from within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your choice. Once this has finished successfully, run ``make`` and ``make install``. In summary:: $ ./bootstrap && make && make install Windows ^^^^^^^ You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake. You can get these releases from the `CMake Download Page`_ . Then proceed with the instructions below. .. _`CMake Download Page`: https://cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html Building CMake with CMake ------------------------- You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based build system: run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred options and generators. Then build it and install it. For instructions how to do this, see documentation on `Running CMake`_. .. _`Running CMake`: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/runningcmake.html Reporting Bugs ============== If you have found a bug: 1. If you have a patch, please read the `CONTRIBUTING.rst`_ document. 2. Otherwise, please join the `CMake Users List`_ and ask about the expected and observed behaviors to determine if it is really a bug. 3. Finally, if the issue is not resolved by the above steps, open an entry in the `CMake Issue Tracker`_. .. _`CMake Issue Tracker`: https://cmake.org/Bug Contributing ============ See `CONTRIBUTING.rst`_ for instructions to contribute. .. _`CONTRIBUTING.rst`: CONTRIBUTING.rst
