| * Help: Clarify policy CMP0082 documentationBrad King2019-03-211-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The policy documentation added by commit fc8955e889 (add_subdirectory: Run subdirectory install rules in correct order, 2018-10-02, v3.14.0-rc1~565^2~1) left out our usual sentence about the policy providing compatibility.
* | export: Disable PACKAGE mode user package registry by defaultRobert Maynard2019-03-151-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The user package registry populated by the `export()` command causes side effects outside the build and source directories. Such effects should be opt-in rather than op-out. Introduce a policy to change default behavior of `export(PACKAGE)` to do nothing.
* | XLClang: Add policy CMP0089 to present as XL for compatibilityBrad King2019-02-251-0/+30
|/ | | | | | | | We now identify IBM's Clang-based XL compilers, which define `__ibmxl__`, as `XLClang` rather than `XL`. In order to support existing project code that checks for `XL`, add a policy whose OLD behavior is to present the compiler id as `XL` and whose NEW behavior is to present the compiler id as `XLClang` as we really detect it.

* Genex: Add policy to handle empty list items in $<IN_LIST:...>Kyle Edwards2018-11-191-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | The old behavior of $<IN_LIST:...> is inconsistent with that of if(IN_LIST), in that it does not find an empty search item even if the list contains empty items. This change adds a new policy to correctly handle empty items and make the behavior more consistent with if(IN_LIST). Fixes: #18556
* find_package(): Add policy to remove the FindQt moduleKyle Edwards2018-11-141-0/+26
| | | | | | | | Removing FindQt.cmake gives Qt upstream a path forward to export its own QtConfig.cmake files which can be found by find_package() without having to explicitly specify CONFIG. Projects that still want to use Qt3/4 can call find_package(Qt[34]), include(FindQt), or add FindQt.cmake to their CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

* Help: Override pygments CMakeLexer to support <..> and [..]Joachim Wuttke (o)2018-10-181-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * The code snippets in the docs consist of CMake code mixed with syntax definition punctuation like < > [ ] ... Therefore a pure CMake lexer is inadequate. Here it is replaced by a CMake syntax definition parser. * Fixed syntax definition snippets in FindPkgConfig.cmake to make best use of syntax highlighting. This source file is the hardest to support because it contains comparison operators <= = >=, which need special attention to avoid confusion with the placeholder indicators <...>. * Fixed syntax in execute_process.rst (there were unbalanced brackets). * Disabled syntax highlighting for long string examples in cmake-language.7.rst. * No highlighting of removed syntax in CMP0049 * To inspect the outcome of this patch, see e.g. the pages * manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html * module/ExternalProject.html * module/FindPkgConfig.html which are particularly rich in complex code snippets.

| * CMP0053: document that `$` is a valid literal variable characterBen Boeckel2018-10-151-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was overlooked in the initial implementation of CMP0053. However, an additional policy to reject it again is not worth it. Instead, add tests and document the behavior. Fixes: #17883
* | add_subdirectory: Run subdirectory install rules in correct orderKyle Edwards2018-10-101-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change, install rules created by add_subdirectory() would be executed after all of the top-level install rules, even if they were declared before the top-level rules. This change adds a new policy, CMP0082, which interleaves the add_subdirectory() install rules with the other install rules so they are run in the correct order.

* BundleUtilities: Disallow inclusion at configure timeKyle Edwards2018-09-191-0/+25
| | | | | | This commit adds a new CMake policy, CMP0080, which prohibits the inclusion of BundleUtilities at configure time. The old behavior is to allow the inclusion.
* target_link_libraries: Allow use with targets in other directoriesBrad King2018-09-121-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously the command did not allow naming targets on the LHS that were not created in the calling directory. Lift this restriction to enable more flexible use by projects. Targets named on the RHS will need to be looked up during generation in the scope of the call site rather than the scope of the LHS target. Introduce an internal syntax in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties to specify target names that need to be looked up in a directory other than that containing the target on which the property is set. Add minimal documentation of the syntax to help users that encounter it. Unfortunately CMake previously did allow such calls in the case that only `INTERFACE` libraries are specified, but those libraries would be looked up in the target's directory rather than the caller's. Add policy `CMP0079` to enable the new behavior with new lookup scope in a compatible way. Fixes: #17943

| | | | | | | | | | | | Add documentation for both the CMake variable and environment variable of this name pattern. Update references to these names to link to their documents. Clarify the pattern used to construct their names.
* | option: respect existing normal variableRobert Maynard2018-07-091-0/+16
| | | | | | | | Add policy CMP0077 to change this behavior in a compatible way.
* | target_sources: Interpret relative paths as relative to the calling directoryPatrick Stotko2018-06-181-0/+26
|/ | | | | | | | | | Previously the command considered non-absolute source file paths relative to the associated target on the LHS. This causes problems in incremental builds where files are added from subdirectories and forces users to workaround by manually converting to absolute paths. Change this to enable more intuitive usage by projects. Fixes #17981
* CheckIncludeFiles: Honor CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIESBrad King2018-04-181-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Other check modules honor this variable, so include file checks should too. Add policy `CMP0075` to enable the behavior in a compatible way. This change was originally made by commit v3.11.0-rc1~108^2 (CheckIncludeFiles: Honor CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES, 2017-12-24) but it was reverted by commit v3.11.1~9^2 (Revert "CheckIncludeFiles: Honor CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES", 2018-04-04) because the behavior change could affect checks in existing projects in an incompatible way. Fixes: #9514
* find_package: Use PackageName_ROOT variables as search prefixesBrad King2018-03-161-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature was originally added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*: Add a new PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and documented by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03). However, we had to disable the feature and remove the documentation in commit v3.9.1~2^2 (find_*: Disable the PACKAGE_ROOT search path group for CMake 3.9, 2017-08-08) due to breaking projects that used `PackageName_ROOT` variables themselves. Add policy `CMP0074` to restore the `PackageName_ROOT` variable behavior in a compatible way. Also revise the stack of root paths to store the paths themselves rather than the package names. This way the policy can be considered at the `find_package` call site instead of individual `find_` calls inside a find module. Co-Author: Chuck Atkins <chuck.atkins@kitware.com> Issue: #17144

| | | | | | | | | In commit v3.5.0-rc1~8^2~2 (Help: Clarify policy `CMP0040` documentation, 2016-01-28) the documentation was clarified to indicate that the target must be defined in the current directory. Do the same for the text of the policy warning itself. Fixes: #17399

* | Autogen: Process GENERATED files. Add CMP0071.Sebastian Holtermann2017-07-181-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This lets AUTOMOC and AUTOUIC process GENERATED files which used to be ignored before. A new policy CMP0071 ensures that the old behavior of ignoring GENERATED files is enabled when the CMake compatibility version CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED is < 3.10. Closes #16186
* | file(GENERATE): Add policy CMP0070 to define relative path behaviorBrad King2017-06-091-0/+25
|/ | | | | | | | | Previously `file(GENERATE)` did not define any behavior for relative paths given to the `OUTPUT` or `INPUT` arguments. Define behavior consistent with CMake conventions and add a policy to provide compatibility for projects that relied on the old accidental behavior. Fixes: #16786
* Add policy CMP0069 to enforce INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATIONRuslan Baratov2017-03-301-0/+92
| | | | | | | | | Previously the `INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` target property was honored only for the Intel compiler on Linux and otherwise ignored. In order to add support for more compilers incrementally without changing behavior in the future, add a new policy whose NEW behavior enforces the `INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` property. Add flags for supported compilers and otherwise produce an error.
* Add policy CMP0068 separate install_name and RPATH settings on macOSClinton Stimpson2017-02-141-0/+35

* try_compile: Add policy CMP0067 to honor language standardsBrad King2016-12-061-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Projects use `try_compile` to check if they will be able to compile some particular source code. When a language standard variable like `CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` is set, then the project intends to compile source code using a compiler mode for that standard. Therefore it makes sense for `try_compile` to use that standard in the test project too. Unfortunately this was not done when support for the `CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` variable was first implemented. Add a policy to introduce the improved behavior in a compatible way. Closes: #16456
* try_compile: Add policy CMP0066 to honor CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>Brad King2016-06-291-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* CMP0065: Restrict the use of CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_<LANG>_FLAGSChuck Atkins2015-09-211-0/+27
| | | | | This new policy restricts the addition of the shared library link flags to executables only when the ENABLE_EXPORTS property is set to True.
* if: Add "TEST <test>" conditionMatt McCormick2015-08-031-0/+17
| | | | | | | | if(TEST TestNameThatExists) will return true if a test with the name TestNameThatExists has been added with add_test. The syntax is similar to if(TARGET TargetName). Since use of "TEST" as an argument to if() could previously be interpreted as a non-keyword argument, add policy CMP0064 to treat it as a keyword as NEW behavior.
