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.
This directory contains tests that run CMake to configure a project
but do not actually build anything. To add a test:
1. Add a subdirectory named for the test, say ``<Test>/``.
2. In ``./CMakeLists.txt`` call ``add_RunCMake_test`` and pass the
test directory name ``<Test>``.
3. Create script ``<Test>/RunCMakeTest.cmake`` in the directory containing::
include(RunCMake)
run_cmake(SubTest1)
...
run_cmake(SubTestN)
where ``SubTest1`` through ``SubTestN`` are sub-test names each
corresponding to an independent CMake run and project configuration.
One may also add calls of the form::
run_cmake_command(SubTestI ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ...)
to fully customize the test case command-line.
Alternatively, if the test is to cover running ``ctest -S`` then use::
include(RunCTest)
run_ctest(SubTest1)
...
run_ctest(SubTestN)
and create ``test.cmake.in``, ``CTestConfig.cmake.in``, and
``CMakeLists.txt.in`` files to be configured for each case.
4. Create file ``<Test>/CMakeLists.txt`` in the directory containing::
cmake_minimum_required(...)
project(${RunCMake_TEST} NONE) # or languages needed
include(${RunCMake_TEST}.cmake)
where ``${RunCMake_TEST}`` is literal. A value for ``RunCMake_TEST``
will be passed to CMake by the ``run_cmake`` macro when running each
sub-test.
5. Create a ``<Test>/<SubTest>.cmake`` file for each sub-test named
above containing the actual test code. Optionally create files
containing expected test results:
``<SubTest>-result.txt``
Process result expected if not "0"
``<SubTest>-stdout.txt``
Regex matching expected stdout content
``<SubTest>-stderr.txt``
Regex matching expected stderr content, if not "^$"
``<SubTest>-check.cmake``
Custom result check.
Note that trailing newlines will be stripped from actual and expected
test output before matching against the stdout and stderr expressions.
The code in ``<SubTest>-check.cmake`` may use variables
``RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR``
Top of test source tree
``RunCMake_TEST_BINARY_DIR``
Top of test binary tree
and an failure must store a message in ``RunCMake_TEST_FAILED``.
