* cmMarkAsAdvancedCommand: ignore variables which don't exist in the cacheBen Boeckel2020-01-201-0/+2
| | | | Fixes: #18331
* XLClang: Add policy CMP0089 to present as XL for compatibilityBrad King2019-02-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | 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.
* add_subdirectory: Run subdirectory install rules in correct orderKyle Edwards2018-10-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | 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.
* try_compile: Add policy CMP0067 to honor language standardsBrad King2016-12-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 This change was originally made by commit v3.6.0-rc1~160^2 (try_compile: Honor CMAKE_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/+2
| | | | | This new policy restricts the addition of the shared library link flags to executables only when the ENABLE_EXPORTS property is set to True.
* cmake: add --trace-expand optionBen Boeckel2015-07-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | The --trace option is helpful, but sometimes, what you're looking for is deep under many layers of function calls and figuring out what instance of the function call you're looking at is tedious to determine (usually involving patching and message()). Instead, add a --trace-expand option to trace while expanding commands into what CMake actually sees.
* Link libraries by full path even in implicit directoriesBrad King2015-04-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CMP0003 was first introduced we wanted to link all libraries by full path. However, some projects had problems on platforms where find_library would find /usr/lib/libfoo.so when the project really wanted to link to /usr/lib/<arch>/libfoo.so and had been working by accident because pre-CMP0003 behavior used -lfoo to link. We first tried to address that in commit v2.6.0~440 (Teach find_library to avoid returning library paths in system directories, 2008-01-23) by returning just "foo" for libraries in implicit link directories. This caused problems for projects expecting find_library to always return a full path. We ended up using the solution in commit v2.6.0~366 (... switch library paths found in implicit link directories to use -l, 2008-01-31). However, the special case for libraries in implicit link directories has also proven problematic and confusing. Introduce policy CMP0060 to switch to linking all libraries by full path even if they are in implicit link directories. Explain in the policy documentation the factors that led to the original approach and now to this approach.
* try_compile: Pass linker flags into test project (#14066)Brad King2014-12-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Copy CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS into the test project generated by try_compile, just like we already copy CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS. Add CMake Policy CMP0056 to activate this behavior in a compatible way, but do not warn by default when the policy is not set since it will affect all try_compile calls. Extend the RunCMake.try_compile test with a case covering this behavior for each policy setting.
* Do not warn by default when policy CMP0025 or CMP0047 is not setBrad King2014-04-021-0/+17
These policies are triggered by the use of a particular compiler rather than outdated CMake code in a project. Avoid warning in every project that enables a language by not displaying the policy warning by default. Add variable CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN> to control the warning explicitly; otherwise enable the warning with --debug-output or --trace. This breaks with strict policy convention because it does not provide developers with any warning about the behavior change by default. Existing projects will continue to build without a warning or change in behavior. When a developer changes the minimum required version of CMake in a project to a sufficiently high value (3.0), the project will suddenly get the new compiler id and may break, but at least the breakage comes with a change to the project rather than the version of CMake used to build it. Breaking strict policy convention is worthwhile in this case because very few projects will be affected by the behavior change but every project would have to see the warning if it were enabled by default.
