* Help: Fix policy markup example in cmake-developer(7)Brad King2018-11-141-1/+1

* Help: Drop compile features section from cmake-developer(7) manualBrad King2018-11-141-47/+0
| | | | | | We no longer add granular compile features. Only language standard meta features like `cxx_std_##`` need to be added, and these can be done by following existing patterns.
* Help/dev: Drop 'size_t' preference from source code guideBrad King2018-11-141-7/+0
| | | | | We now use `std::size_t` in several places and it is fully supported by C++11 compilers. Drop the recommendation to prefer plain `size_t`.

| * Help: Move deprecated modules to appropriate section.Joachim Wuttke (l)2018-11-131-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move deprecated or obsolete modules to the section "Deprectated Modules" of cmake-modules(7): - MacroAddFileDependencies (Text says: Using the macro MACRO_ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES() is discouraged.) - UsePkgConfig (Text calls it "obsolete") - Use_wxWindows (was already listed in deprecation section)

* | Help: Remove over-precise clause.Joachim Wuttke (h)2018-11-081-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Section "Variables References" said that environment and cache variables are "evaluated in the same contexts as a normal variable reference". The reader has to guess what "contexts" means in this context. Probably "inside a Quoted Argument or an Unquoted Argument", exactly as for ordinary variable references. But this is exactly what the reader would tacitly assume anyway. Therefore I think the removed clause was unnecessary, and possibly more confusing than helpful.

|/ | | | | | | Explain that the commands affect only the current CMake process, not the process from which CMake was called, nor the system environment at large, nor the environment of subsequent build or test processes.

| * Help: new section on conditional generator expressionsJoachim Wuttke (h)2018-11-061-8/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before, the closely related signatures $<condition:true_value> $<IF:condition,true_value,false_value> were explained in two different sections. The former section was badly explained, with '0' and '1' in place of the formal parameter 'condition'.
| * Help: rm unmotivated "This means that"Joachim Wuttke (h)2018-11-061-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | That generator expressions enable conditional things has not been said before. Amended for nicer source format.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | No need to save a few characters on formal parameters. Use this occasion to correct $<PLATFORM_ID:comp>: the parameter is a platform_id, not a compiler_id.
| * Help: expand "..." and "?" in logical generator expressionsJoachim Wuttke (h)2018-11-061-13/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | Expand "..." and "?", which could be mistaken as metacharacters (and in the explanations of AND and OR actually were meant as metacharacters).
