FindMFC:
- Synced module documentation with other similar find modules.
- Added examples section.
- Added reference link to CMAKE_MFC_FLAG variable.
CMAKE_MFC_FLAG:
- Added separate examples section.
- Mentioned FindMFC module.
- Used target_compile_definitions() instead of add_definitions().
`try_compile` and `try_run` now automatically log checks using them to
`CMakeConfigureLog.yaml`.
Add `LOG_DESCRIPTION` arguments to some `try_compile` calls to
replace the description previously written to the old logs.
Issue: #23200
Modify some additional modules that ship with CMake to use the new
SOURCES_FROM_* arguments to try_compile / try_run as added by commits
cb14ae2b87 (try_compile: Add SOURCE_FROM_{ARG,VAR}, 2022-09-21) and
611d801790 (try_compile: Add SOURCE_FROM_FILE, 2022-09-22). This covers
modules that need to read and alter a template source file, which were
not addressed in the previous commit.
Note that FindOpenACC.cmake does not actually need configure_file
functionality; it appears to have inherited the (gratuitous) use thereof
from FindOpenMP.cmake, with which its code bears significant similarity.
Modify most of the modules that ship with CMake to use the new
try_compile / try_run signatures added by commit aa9220d3a0
(try_compile: Add keyword-dispatched signature, 2022-09-02). This
improves debugging by each invocation using its own directory so that
the results of multiple invocations can be retained.
This does not cover any invocations which provide an entire project, as
that flavor of try_compile has not yet been updated.
Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Replace an old hack of the form 'if("${VAR}" MATCHES "^${VAR}$")'
with the much simpler 'if(NOT DEFINED ${VAR})'. This was exposed
by a CMP0054 warning.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's find-modules.
Many of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices referring
to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing notices and
adds missing notices.
