|
||||
|
||||
Changes made since CMake 3.16 include the following.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`add_custom_command` command learned to detect paths in
|
||||
``DEPENDS`` arguments and convert them to paths relative to the current
|
||||
binary directory. This only applies to paths which contain a ``/`` or ``\\``
|
||||
in them because names like ``filename.txt`` could also be target names and
|
||||
cannot be coverted into absolute paths blindly.
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
* A :prop_tgt:`DEPRECATION` target property was added to mark
|
||||
a target as deprecated. If a linked target is marked as
|
||||
deprecated, a warning with the deprecation message is issued
|
||||
at generate time.
|
||||
Generators
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a :generator:`Ninja Multi-Config` generator,
|
||||
which is similar to the :generator:`Ninja` generator but can be used to build
|
||||
multiple configurations at once.
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` learned to support per-config sources.
|
||||
Previously only :ref:`Command-Line Build Tool Generators` supported them.
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above now support
|
||||
specifying the ``VCTargetsPath`` value for project files in
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` setting.
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above learned to
|
||||
support .NET Standard and .NET Core. See the
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` target property and
|
||||
associated :variable:`CMAKE_DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` variable.
|
||||
|
||||
Languages
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
|
||||
now offers meta-features for the CUDA language standard levels
|
||||
(e.g. ``cuda_std_03``, ``cuda_std_14``). See
|
||||
:prop_gbl:`CMAKE_CUDA_KNOWN_FEATURES`.
|
||||
|
||||
Compilers
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* The IBM XL Fortran compiler is now supported by the :generator:`Ninja`
|
||||
generator.
|
||||
|
||||
Command-Line
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``--debug-find`` command-line option to
|
||||
enable additional human-readable output on where find commands search.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``--trace-format`` command-line option that
|
||||
can be used to set the ``--trace`` output format. Currently, the old
|
||||
human readable and the new JSON format are supported. The new JSON format
|
||||
is easier to parse automatically, than the existing format.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``-E rm`` command-line tool that can be
|
||||
used to remove directories and files. This supersedes the existing
|
||||
``-E remove`` and ``-E remove_directory`` tools and has better semantics.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`add_custom_command` command learned to interpret paths in
|
||||
``DEPENDS`` arguments that are specified relative to the current
|
||||
binary directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`foreach` learned a new option ``ZIP_LISTS`` to iterate
|
||||
over multiple lists simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`load_cache(READ_WITH_PREFIX)` command mode is now allowed
|
||||
when using ``cmake -P`` to :ref:`Run a Script <Script Processing Mode>`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`message` command learned to output context provided in
|
||||
the :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT` variable for log levels
|
||||
``NOTICE`` and below. Enable this output with the new ``--log-context``
|
||||
command-line option or :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW` variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`message` command gained new keywords ``CHECK_START``,
|
||||
``CHECK_PASS`` and ``CHECK_FAIL``.
|
||||
|
||||
* :command:`target_compile_options` command now honors the ``BEFORE``
|
||||
keyword more consistently. See policy :policy:`CMP0101`.
|
||||
|
||||
Variables
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_CTEST_ARGUMENTS` variable was added to specify a list
|
||||
of command-line arguments passed to CTest when running through the
|
||||
``test`` (or ``RUN_TESTS``) target of the generated build system.
|
||||
|
||||
* The following variables are now defined inside a :command:`function`:
|
||||
|
||||
- :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION`
|
||||
- :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_DIR`
|
||||
- :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_FILE`
|
||||
- :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_LINE`
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` variable and
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`CUDA_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` target property were introduced to
|
||||
select the CUDA runtime library used when linking targets that
|
||||
use CUDA.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE` variable was introduced to
|
||||
print extra find call information during the cmake run to standard
|
||||
error. Output is designed for human consumption and not for parsing.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` variable now takes its
|
||||
initial value from the :envvar:`CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` environment
|
||||
variable if no explicit configuration is given.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` variable, if not set
|
||||
explicitly, now takes its initial value from the
|
||||
:envvar:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` environment variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL` variable can now be used
|
||||
to persist a log level between CMake runs, unlike the ``--log-level``
|
||||
command line option which only applies to that particular run.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_ENVIRONMENT` variable and
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_ENVIRONMENT` target property were added to
|
||||
tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator to set the value of the
|
||||
``Custom Working Directory`` schema option.
|
||||
|
||||
Properties
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`AIX_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` target property and associated
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_AIX_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` variable were created to
|
||||
optionally explicitly disbale automatic export of symbols from shared
|
||||
libraries on AIX.
|
||||
|
||||
* :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` and :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` learned to process headers with
|
||||
a ``.hh`` extension. The new behavior is enabled by policy
|
||||
:policy:`CMP0100`.
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`DEPRECATION` target property was added to mark
|
||||
a target as deprecated. If a linked target is marked as
|
||||
deprecated, a warning with the deprecation message is issued
|
||||
at generate time.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ccmake(1)` now displays cache values using colors
|
||||
based on the entry type if the terminal supports color.
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_NAME_DIR` target property now supports
|
||||
:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
|
||||
In particular, the ``$<INSTALL_PREFIX>`` generator expression can
|
||||
be used to set the directory relative to the install-time prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`ccmake(1)` now displays messages and a progress bar during
|
||||
configure and generate. It will keep the output displayed if any
|
||||
errors or warnings occurred.
|
||||
* Target properties :prop_tgt:`OSX_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION` and
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`OSX_CURRENT_VERSION` were added to set the
|
||||
``compatibility_version`` and ``curent_version`` respectively
|
||||
on macOS. For backwards compatibility, if these properties
|
||||
are not set, :prop_tgt:`SOVERSION` and :prop_tgt:`VERSION`
|
||||
are used respectively as fallbacks.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_CTEST_ARGUMENTS` variable was added to specify a list
|
||||
of command-line arguments passed to CTest when running through the
|
||||
``test`` (or ``RUN_TESTS``) target of the generated build system.
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_DOCUMENTATION_FILE` target property was added
|
||||
to tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` to generate a ``DocumentationFile``
|
||||
reference in ``.csproj`` files.
|
||||
|
||||
* Define the following variables inside a function:
|
||||
Modules
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
- :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION`
|
||||
- :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_DIR`
|
||||
- :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_FILE`
|
||||
- :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_FUNCTION_LIST_LINE`
|
||||
* The :module:`ExternalProject` module :command:`ExternalProject_Add`
|
||||
command gained a ``GIT_SUBMODULES_RECURSE`` option to specify whether
|
||||
Git submodules should be updated recursively. The default is on to
|
||||
preserve existing behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``--debug-find`` command line
|
||||
option that can be used to provide information on where find
|
||||
commands searched.
|
||||
* The :module:`FindCUDAToolkit` module was added to find the
|
||||
CUDA Toolkit without enabling CUDA as a language.
|
||||
|
||||
* Variable :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_DEBUG_MODE` was introduced to
|
||||
print extra find call information during the cmake run to standard
|
||||
error. Output is designed for human consumption and not for parsing.
|
||||
* The :module:`FindCURL` module learned to find CURL using
|
||||
the ``CURLConfig.cmake`` package configuration file generated by
|
||||
CURL's cmake buildsystem. It also gained a new ``CURL_NO_CURL_CMAKE``
|
||||
option to disable this behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a ``rm`` command line
|
||||
option that can be used to remove directories (with ``-r`` or ``-R`` flag)
|
||||
and files.
|
||||
If the ``-f`` flag is not specified, attempting to remove a file that
|
||||
doesn't exist returns an non-zero error code.
|
||||
This command deprecates ``remove`` and ``remove_directory``.
|
||||
The ``remove`` implementation was buggy and always returned 0 when ``force``
|
||||
flag was not present and a file didn't exist. It cannot be fixed without
|
||||
breaking backwards compatibility so we introduced ``rm``.
|
||||
* The :module:`FindFLEX` module's ``FLEX_TARGET`` command now runs ``flex``
|
||||
with :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR` as the working directory.
|
||||
See policy :policy:`CMP0098`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :envvar:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` environment variable may now be
|
||||
used to initialize the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` variable.
|
||||
* The :module:`FindLibArchive` module now provides an imported target
|
||||
for libarchive.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack PackageMaker Generator` generator has been
|
||||
deprecated because Xcode no longer distributes the PackageMaker tools.
|
||||
The undocumented ``OSXX11`` generator has also been deprecated.
|
||||
* The :module:`FindPython` module has learned to find Python components
|
||||
in active virtual environments managed by ``conda``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack DragNDrop Generator` learned to handle
|
||||
RTF formatted license files. When :variable:`CPACK_DMG_SLA_DIR`
|
||||
variable is set, <language>.license.rtf is considered, but
|
||||
only as a fallback when the plaintext (.txt) file is not found
|
||||
in order to maintain backwards compatibility.
|
||||
* The :module:`FindPython3` and :module:`FindPython` modules gained,
|
||||
respectively, variable ``Python3_SOABI`` and ``Python_SOABI`` giving
|
||||
the standard extension suffix for modules.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` gained a new variable
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_MUI_HEADERIMAGE` to set the header image.
|
||||
To not break existing setups, it still defaults to
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_ICON` if the new variable is not set.
|
||||
* The :module:`FindLibXml2` module now provides an imported target for the
|
||||
``xmllint`` executable
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` now supports
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_UNINSTALL_NAME`.
|
||||
This can be used to specify the name of the Uninstall program.
|
||||
Autogen
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` now supports
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_WELCOME_TITLE` and :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_WELCOME_TITLE_3LINES`.
|
||||
These can be used to specify the welcome page title and display it in 3 lines.
|
||||
* :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` and :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` learned to process headers
|
||||
with a ``.hh`` extension. See policy :policy:`CMP0100`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` now supports
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_NSIS_FINISH_TITLE` and :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_FINISH_TITLE_3LINES`.
|
||||
These can be used to specify the finish page title and display it in 3 lines.

|
||||
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack productbuild Generator` and

:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND` and
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_PACKAGEMAKER_BACKGROUND`, respectively,
|

Deprecated and Removed Features
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policy ``CMP0068``
|
||||
and policy ``CMP0069`` (``CMP0067`` and below were already deprecated).
|
||||
The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the OLD behaviors
|
||||
of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the
|
||||
NEW behaviors.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` variable now takes its
|
||||
initial value from the :envvar:`CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS` environment
|
||||
variable if no explicit configuration is given.
|
||||
* The :cpack_gen:`CPack PackageMaker Generator` generator has been
|
||||
deprecated because Xcode no longer distributes the PackageMaker tools.
|
||||
The undocumented ``OSXX11`` generator has also been deprecated.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`ExternalProject` module :command:`ExternalProject_Add`
|
||||
command gained a ``GIT_SUBMODULES_RECURSE`` option to specify whether
|
||||
Git submodules should be updated recursively. The default is on to

||||
preserve existing behavior.
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` command-line ``-E remove`` and ``-E remove_directory``
|
||||
tools are deprecated in favor of the new ``-E rm`` tool. The older tools
|
||||
always returned 0 if a named path did not exist even without the force
|
||||
option and cannot be fixed without breaking compatibility, and so have
|
||||
been superseded.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL` variable can now be used
|
||||
to persist a log level between CMake runs, unlike the ``--log-level``
|
||||
command line option which only applies to that particular run.

||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained a :generator:`Ninja Multi-Config` generator,
|
||||
which is similar to the :generator:`Ninja` generator but can be used to build
|
||||
multiple configurations at once.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`message` command gained new keywords ``CHECK_START``,
|
||||
``CHECK_PASS`` and ``CHECK_FAIL``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Ninja` generator learned to perform some post-processing on
|
||||
the generated files for more consistent builds.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Ninja` generator now prefers the first ninja build
|
||||
tool to appear in the ``PATH`` no matter whether it is called
|
||||
``ninja-build``, ``ninja``, or ``samu``. Previously the first
|
||||
of those names to appear anywhere in the ``PATH`` would be preferred.
|
||||
|
||||
* Target properties :prop_tgt:`OSX_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION` and
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`OSX_CURRENT_VERSION` were added to set the
|
||||
``compatibility_version`` and ``curent_version`` respectively
|
||||
on macOS. For backwards compatibility, if these properties
|
||||
are not set, :prop_tgt:`SOVERSION` and :prop_tgt:`VERSION`
|
||||
are used respectively as fallbacks.
|
||||
* With SDCC the ``sdar`` tool is now preferred over ``sdcclib`` as librarian.
|
||||
The latter was deprecated by SDCC 3.2.0 and removed in SDCC 3.8.6.
|
||||
|
||||
* Since sdcc 3.2.0, sdcclib has been deprecated in favor of sdar as librarian.
|
||||
Since sdcc 3.8.6, it has been removed from the distribution.
|
||||
Use sdar if found, else use sdcclib to keep older compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
* The default flags used for SDCC no longer include any target-specific flags.
|
||||
* With SDCC the default flags no longer include any target-specific flags.
|
||||
Previously the default flags were hard-coded for 8051.
|
||||
|
||||
* :command:`target_compile_options` command learns to honor ``BEFORE`` keyword
|
||||
in all scopes. See policy :policy:`CMP0101`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_DOCUMENTATION_FILE` target property was added
|
||||
to tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` to generate a ``DocumentationFile``
|
||||
reference in ``.csproj`` files.
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above learned to
|
||||
support .NET Standard and .NET Core. See the
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` target property and
|
||||
associated :variable:`CMAKE_DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` learned to support per-config sources.
|
||||
Previously only :ref:`Command-Line Build Tool Generators` supported them.
|
||||
|
||||
* With :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above,
|
||||
the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` setting gained an option
|
||||
to specify the ``VCTargetsPath`` value for project files.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_VS_GLOBALS` variable value now applies during
|
||||
compiler identification and in targets created by the
|
||||
:command:`add_custom_target` command.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator no longer hard-codes ``-Wmost``,
|
||||
``-Wno-four-char-constants``, and ``-Wno-unknown-pragmas`` warning flags.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_ENVIRONMENT` variable was added
|
||||
to initialize the :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_ENVIRONMENT` target property.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Xcode generator learnt to set the value of the
|
||||
``Custom Working Directory`` schema
|
||||
option with the :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_WORKING_DIRECTORY`
|
||||
target property.
|
||||
|
||||
* The IBM XL Fortran compiler is now supported by the :generator:`Ninja`
|
||||
generator.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindLibXml2` module now provides an imported target for the xmllint executable
