| * | Help: Adapt cmake-buildsystem(7) to new IMPORTED targets featuresKai Wolf2018-03-121-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit v3.11.0-rc1~433^2~2 (Teach target_* commands to set INTERFACE properties of IMPORTED targets, 2017-09-18) it is now possible to use the customary `target_*` commands for adjusting the settings of an IMPORTED target. Update documentation accordingly.

* | | CTest: Add options to control test process affinity to CPUsBrad King2018-03-051-0/+1
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit v2.8.0~170 (ENH: Added ctest test options PROCESSORS and RUN_SERIAL, 2009-09-07) CTest learned to track the number of processors allocated to running tests in order to balance it against the desired level of parallelism. Extend this idea by introducing a new `PROCESSOR_AFFINITY` test property to ask that CTest run a test with the CPU affinity mask set. This will allow a set of tests that are running concurrently to use disjoint CPU resources.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The last KDevelop3 release was many years ago, in 2008 I think. I haven't seen or read about anybody using KDevelop 3 since a long time, so I think it can safely be removed from CMake. KDevelop 4 (first released in 2010) has its own proper CMake support now, independent from this generator. Alex

* Genex: Enable COMPILE_LANGUAGE for INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES with VS and XcodeBrad King2018-01-121-18/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The set of compile flags used for a target's C and C++ sources is based on the linker language. By default this is always the C++ flags if any C++ sources appear in the target, and otherwise the C flags. Therefore we can define the `COMPILE_LANGUAGE` generator expression in `INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` to match the selected language. This is not exactly the same as for other generators, but is the best VS and Xcode can do. It is also sufficient for many use cases since the set of include directories for C and C++ is frequently similar but may be distinct from those for other languages like CUDA. Fixes: #17435

* Unhardcode the CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES valuesBeren Minor2018-01-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | This removes duplicated code for per-config variable initialization by providing a `cmake_initialize_per_config_variable(<PREFIX> <DOCSTRING>)` function. This function initializes a `<PREFIX>` cache variable from `<PREFIX>_INIT` and unless the `CMAKE_NOT_USING_CONFIG_FLAGS` variable is defined, does the same with `<PREFIX>_<CONFIG>` from `<PREFIX>_<CONFIG>_INIT` for every `<CONFIG>` in `CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES` for multi-config generators or `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` for single-config generators.

| * server: Revert "Report backtraces in codemodel response"Brad King2017-12-061-41/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The backtrace information is very repetitive and hugely increases the size of the codemodel object. We need to remove it until an alternative representation can be developed. Revert commit v3.10.0-rc1~393^2 (server: Report backtraces in codemodel response, 2017-06-20), except for the protocol version number (because it indicates other new things). Unfortunately this is incompatible with clients that expect the "crossReferences" field in targets. However, the regression in memory usage is quite serious, especially on large projects, and therefore breaks even older clients that do not use backtraces. Since the "crossReferences" field was only provided by one release (3.10.0), it is simplest to revert it outright for 3.10.1. Fixes: #17502

However, the backtrace representation uses too much memory and needs to be dropped. Remove it from test information. Issue: #17502

The set of compile flags used for a target's C and C++ sources is based on the linker language. By default this is always the C++ flags if any C++ sources appear in the target, and otherwise the C flags. Therefore we can define the `COMPILE_LANGUAGE` generator expression in `COMPILE_OPTIONS` to match the selected language. This is not exactly the same as for other generators, but is the best VS can do. It is also sufficient for many use cases since the set of allowed flags for C and C++ is almost the same in Visual Studio. Furthermore, since the VS generator moves many of the flags to declarative `.vcxproj` elements, it will automatically avoid passing C++ flags for C sources. Issue: #17435
