| * AndroidTestUtilities: Add module to help drive Android device testsSchuyler Kylstra2016-09-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add a module to manage the data needed for the project tests. It will move the test data to the build directory and transfer necessary data to an Android device if that is enabled.

* | server-mode: Report watched files to clientTobias Hunger2016-09-291-0/+23
| | | | | | | | * Add a command to report watched files and directories to clients.
* | server-mode: Report CMakeCache entriesTobias Hunger2016-09-281-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | With this it would be possible to implement something like cmake-gui using server-mode.

| | | | | | | | Add a command to retrieve files that are input to cmake itself.

| * CodeLite: Optionally use targets to create (sub)project filesMinze Zwerver2016-09-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The basic codelite generator creates .project files based on the `project()` stanza. Add a `CMAKE_CODELITE_USE_TARGETS` option to use the targets instead.

* | server-mode: Add a configure commandTobias Hunger2016-09-261-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a command to trigger cmake to configure a project. Keep this separate from the compute step (added in the next commit) to faciliate applications like cmake-gui.
* | server-mode: Set global configuration of cmake via a commandTobias Hunger2016-09-261-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | "setGlobalSettings" can be used to change settings reported by "globalSettings" command.
* | server-mode: Query global configuration of cmake via a commandTobias Hunger2016-09-261-0/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add "globalSettings" command that returns: * Return capability information * Return currently used generator/extra generator * Return a range of flags for debug/trace/etc.
* | Xcode: Add option to set Swift language versionBrad King2016-09-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new CMAKE_Swift_LANGUAGE_VERSION variable to specify the SWIFT_VERSION attribute in a generated Xcode project. Ideally this would be a `<LANG>_STANDARD` property but since Swift support is very minimal we should reserve that property for more complete treatment later. Issue: #16326

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new test properties: * FIXTURES_SETUP * FIXTURES_CLEANUP * FIXTURES_REQUIRED to specify the roles and dependencies of tests providing/using test fixtures.
* | server-mode: Introduce cmServerConnectionTobias Hunger2016-09-221-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use it to split pipe and stdin/out handling out of cmServer itself. The server will shut down when it looses its connection to the client. This has the nice property that a crashing client will cause the server to terminate as the OS will close the connection on behave of the client.
* | server-mode: Add debug supportTobias Hunger2016-09-201-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable the server to support development with some helper tools: You can now request debug information with statistics on how long execution of a command took, how long it took to serialize the JSON files, and how big the serialized JSON string is. Also allow to dump results into a file.
* | server-mode: Report Messages from cmake to clientsTobias Hunger2016-09-201-0/+15
|/ | | | | Pass messages sent from cmake via Error(...) or Message(...) on to clients.
* Add directory properties to get source and binary directoriesBrad King2016-09-191-0/+2
| | | | | | Add SOURCE_DIR and BINARY_DIR directory properties that return the absolute paths to the corresponding directories. These correspond to the target properties of the same names that we already have.
* Add directory property to list buildsystem targetsBrad King2016-09-191-0/+1
| | | | | Add a BUILDSYSTEM_TARGETS property to allow project code to traverse the list of its own targets in a given directory.
* Add a directory property to list subdirectoriesBrad King2016-09-191-0/+1
| | | | | Add a SUBDIRECTORIES directory property to allow project code to traverse the directory structure of itself as CMake sees it.

* find_package: Optionally sort globbed directories in a meaningful orderPierluigi Taddei2016-09-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add `CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_SORT_{ORDER,DIRECTION}` variables to specify sort order and direction. When multiple package with the same name have been found in the same location sorting option can be used to force a specific version to be loaded (e.g. libA_1.12.0 instead of libA_1.1.0). Currently sorting by NAME and by NATURAL order have been implemented. Natural ordering makes use of the `strverscmp(3)` ordering.

* VS15: Add Visual Studio 15 generatorBrad King2016-09-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Call the generator "Visual Studio 15" without any year because the preview version of VS 15 does not provide a year in the product name. Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio14Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio15Generator and update version numbers accordingly. Add the VS15 enumeration value. Note that we do not need to add a MSVC15 variable or v150 toolset because Visual Studio 15 comes with an updated version of the v140 toolset and remains ABI-compatible. Teach tests VSExternalInclude, RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform, and RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 15 as they do VS 10-14. Closes: #16143

| * | try_compile: Add policy CMP0066 to honor CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>Brad King2016-06-291-0/+8
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the `try_compile` source file signature we propagate the caller's value of `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS` into the test project. Extend this to propagate `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>` too instead of always using the default value in the test project. This will be useful, for example, to allow the MSVC runtime library to be changed (e.g. `-MDd` => `-MTd`). However, some projects may currently depend on this not being done, so we need to activate the behavior using a policy. This change was originally made by commit v3.6.0-rc1~160^2 (try_compile: Honor CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> changes, 2016-04-11) but without the policy and so had to be reverted during the 3.6 release candidate cycle. Fixes #16174.
* | Avoid using KWSys auto_ptr by adopting it ourselvesBrad King2016-06-291-3/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | Replace use of cmsys::auto_ptr with a CM_AUTO_PTR macro that maps to our own implementation adopted from the KWSys auto_ptr implementation. Later we may be able to map CM_AUTO_PTR to std::auto_ptr on compilers that do not warn about it. Automate the client site conversions: git grep -l auto_ptr -- Source/ | grep -v Source/kwsys/ | xargs sed -i \ 's|cmsys::auto_ptr|CM_AUTO_PTR|;s|cmsys/auto_ptr.hxx|cm_auto_ptr.hxx|'

| * VS: Add a VS_TOOL_OVERRIDE source file propertyGilles Khouzam2016-06-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This property allow to specify a specific Visual Studio tool for a source file overriding the default tool behavior. For example, a `.resw` file being processed as a `PriResource` file. This has the advantage of being able to teach CMake to process new file types without code modifications.
