* Help: Describe $CACHE and $ENV as operatorsJoachim Wuttke (l)2018-11-083-6/+18
| | | | | | This resolves issue #18514 Also add a cross-reference to if(DEFINED ENV{var}).

* Help: short/long variable reference in if commandJoachim Wuttke (l)2018-11-082-4/+14
| | | | | Explain that the short form of variable references in the if command does not apply to ENV and CACHE vars.
* Help: Provide backreferences.Joachim Wuttke (h)2018-11-083-2/+19
| | | | | Short intro to pages cmake-variables.7 and cmake-env-variables.7, with backlinks to cmake-language.7.
* Help: New section on Environment Variables in cmake-language.7Joachim Wuttke (h)2018-11-081-1/+28

* 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.
* Help: Clarify effect of set(ENV{..} ..) and unset(ENV{..})Joachim Wuttke (h)2018-11-082-5/+20
| | | | | | | 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: Add documentation and release notes for installKyle Edwards2018-11-072-4/+121
| | | | | This change adds documentation for the new DESTINATION behavior of the install() command.

| * 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.
| * Help: expand "ver", "pol", ...Joachim Wuttke (h)2018-11-061-19/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CPack generator names were not used consistently throughout the documentation, resulting in ambiguity about what the correct name was for use with the `cpack -G` option. With the changes in this commit, the cpack-generators(7) page of the manual now shows the correct names and other help pages no longer use inconsistent or incorrect names.

We already try to compute this tag automatically when `CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE_ID` is available, but that is currently not computed everywhere. Add an explicit `Boost_ARCHITECTURE` option that a user can set to specify the architecture tag. Issue: #17701
