Changes made since CMake 3.23 include the following.
|
||||
|
||||
* The ADSP compiler (SHARC and Blackfin) now supports
|
||||
both CCES and VDSP++ installations,
|
||||
with required configuration now done in the compiler module itself
|
||||
rather than the Generic-ADSP platform module.
|

New Features
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
Presets
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` files now support schema version ``5``.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` files now support a ``${pathListSep}`` macro,
|
||||
which expands to ``:`` or ``;`` based on the platform.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` files gained support for specifying a
|
||||
``testOutputTruncation`` field in test presets, which specifies the
|
||||
truncation mode once the maximum test output size has been reached.
|
||||
|
||||
Generators
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Green Hills MULTI` generator now generates build
|
||||
rules to re-run CMake if any CMake files are updated.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` now support ``SYSTEM`` headers.
|
||||
|
||||
Command-Line
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained the ``--fresh`` command-line option to remove
|
||||
any existing ``CMakeCache.txt`` when configuring a build tree, thus
|
||||
starting a new configuration as if the build tree were freshly created.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained the ``--compile-no-warning-as-error`` command-line
|
||||
option which causes the effects of the :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR`
|
||||
target property and :variable:`CMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` variable
|
||||
to be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--trace=json-v1`` trace format gained fields
|
||||
``global_frame`` and ``line_end``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E`` commands ``cat`` and ``env`` learned to respect
|
||||
a double dash (``--``) argument that acts as a delimiter indicating the end of
|
||||
options. Any following arguments are treated as operands/positional arguments,
|
||||
even if they begin with a dash ``-`` character.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` command gained the ``--touch`` option
|
||||
to keep the current local timestamp instead of extracting file timestamps
|
||||
from the archive.
|
||||
|
||||
Compilers
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* LLVM's `flang`_ Fortran compiler is now supported on some platforms,

:variable:`CPACK_WIX_ARCHITECTURE`, to specify the installer architecture
|
||||
in order to support computers running Windows for ARM.
|
||||
|
||||
* CPack now supports the :variable:`CPACK_THREADS` option for ``zstd``
|
||||
compression when compiled with libarchive 3.6 or higher. It is
|
||||
supported by official CMake binaries available on ``cmake.org``.
|
||||
|
||||
Deprecated and Removed Features
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPack` module no longer enables the SLA by default in the
|
||||
:cpack_gen:`CPack DragNDrop Generator`. See policy :policy:`CMP0133`
|
||||
and the :variable:`CPACK_DMG_SLA_USE_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE` variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* The deprecated :cpack_gen:`CPack PackageMaker Generator` has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindGLUT` module no longer provides the undocumented
|
||||
result variables ``GLUT_LIBRARY`` and ``GLUT_INCLUDE_PATH``.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Changes
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
* With MSVC compilers, debug configurations now use ``-ZI`` by default
|
||||
instead of ``/Zi``. See policy :policy:`CMP0138`.
|
||||
|
||||
* CMake no longer sets environment variables like :envvar:`CC`, :envvar:`CXX`,
|
||||
etc. when enabling the corresponding language during the first CMake run in
|
||||
a build directory. See policy :policy:`CMP0132`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`MSYS Makefiles` and :generator:`MinGW Makefiles`
|
||||
generators, when a compiler is not explicitly specified, now select
|
||||
the first compiler (of any name) found in directories listed by the
|
||||
``PATH`` environment variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* With MSVC compilers, debug configurations now use ``-ZI`` by default
|
||||
instead of ``/Zi``. See policy :policy:`CMP0138`.
|
||||
* The :command:`try_compile` command
|
||||
:ref:`whole-project <Try Compiling Whole Projects>` signature
|
||||
now propagates platform variables. See policy :policy:`CMP0137`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindPkgConfig` module learned to find static libraries
|
||||
in addition to the default search for shared libraries.
|
||||
:command:`pkg_check_modules` gained a ``STATIC_TARGET`` option
|
||||
to make the imported target reference static libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` files now support a ``${pathListSep}`` macro,
|
||||
which expands to ``:`` or ``;`` based on the platform.
|
||||
* The :command:`while` command now diagnoses errors during condition
|
||||
evaluation. See policy :policy:`CMP0130`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The precompiled macOS binaries provided on
|
||||
`cmake.org <https://cmake.org/download/>`_ no longer attach a SLA
|
||||
to the ``.dmg`` packages. This was removed because macOS 12 deprecated
|
||||
the tools used to attach ``.dmg`` resources.
|
||||
|
||||
* The deprecated ``PackageMaker`` :manual:`cpack(1)` generator has
|
||||
been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :genex:`LINK_GROUP` generator expression gained the ability to manage, on
|
||||
``Linux`` and ``BSD`` systems, circular references between static libraries
|
||||
by using ``RESCAN`` feature.
|
||||
|
||||
* CMake no longer sets environment variables like :envvar:`CC`, :envvar:`CXX`,
|
||||
etc. when enabling the corresponding language during the first CMake run in
|
||||
a build directory. See policy :policy:`CMP0132`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the new :genex:`TARGET_BUNDLE_DIR_NAME` generator expression
|
||||
which evaluates to the name of the bundle directory for a given bundle
|
||||
target.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add the field ``global_frame`` to the json-v1 trace format. This
|
||||
frame tracks the depth of the call stack globally across all
|
||||
``CMakeLists.txt`` files involved in the trace, and will let tools
|
||||
reconstruct stack traces that span from the top-level ``CMakeLists.txt``
|
||||
file of the project.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add the field ``line_end`` to the json-v1 trace format. This
|
||||
field tells you the line in file ``file`` at which the function
|
||||
call ends. Tools can use this new field, together with ``line``
|
||||
and ``file``, to map traces to lines of CMake source code.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`try_compile` command
|
||||
:ref:`whole-project <Try Compiling Whole Projects>` signature
|
||||
now propagates platform variables. See policy :policy:`CMP0137`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_NO_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable
|
||||
was added to tell the :command:`try_compile` command not to
|
||||
pass any platform variables to the test project.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new :prop_tgt:`VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS` target property was added,
|
||||
which can be used to verify that all headers in header sets can be used on
|
||||
their own.
|
||||
* A new :variable:`CMAKE_VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS` variable was added,
|
||||
which is used to initialize the :prop_tgt:`VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS`
|
||||
target property.
|
||||
* A new :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS_TO_VERIFY` target property was added,
|
||||
which can be used to specify which header sets should be verified by
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`VS_NO_COMPILE_BATCHING` target property was added to
|
||||
tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` whether to disable compiler parallelism
|
||||
and call the compiler with one c/cpp file at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`VS_DOTNET_STARTUP_OBJECT` target property was added to
|
||||
tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` which startup class shall be used
|
||||
when the program or project is executed. This is necessary when more
|
||||
than one ``static void Main(string[])`` function signature is available
|
||||
in a managed .NET project.
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` now support ``SYSTEM`` headers.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_WATCOM_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` variable and
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`WATCOM_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` target property were introduced to
|
||||
select the runtime library used by compilers targeting the Watcom ABI.
|
||||
See policy :policy:`CMP0136`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the Target Property :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` and the
|
||||
Variable :variable:`CMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` which initializes the
|
||||
Target Property. If :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` is true, it expands
|
||||
to a different flag depending on the compiler such that any warnings at
|
||||
compile will be treated as errors.
|
||||
|
||||
* :manual:`cmake(1)` gained the command-line option
|
||||
``--compile-no-warning-as-error`` which causes the values of
|
||||
the :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` target property and
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` variable to be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`while` command now diagnoses errors during condition
|
||||
evaluation. See policy :policy:`CMP0130`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Xcode generator learned to handle global and target specific
|
||||
``xcconfig`` files with the :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_XCCONFIG`
|
||||
variable and :prop_tgt:`XCODE_XCCONFIG` target property.
