Clear `CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS` since no special
link flags are needed to create a DLL with MSVC toolchains.
Our shared library creation rules never referenced that placeholder,
so this variable was never used until commit 951e4d3f62 (Ninja,Makefile:
Move builtin linker flags to <LINK_FLAGS> placeholder, 2025-06-09,
v4.1.0-rc1~37^2~2) taught the generators to look it up directly.
This was not previously noticed because the `-shared` flag
is ignored unless the `-WX` flag enables an error on it.

Previously we used separate placeholders for builtin linker flags:
* CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS for EXECUTABLEs
* CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS for SHARED libraries
* CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS for MODULE libraries
These are now always replaced by the empty string, so drop them
from our rule variables.

Clear `CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS` since no special
link flags are needed to create a DLL with these toolchains.
Our shared library creation rules do not reference the placeholder,
so this variable was never used. However, we may soon teach the
generators to look it up directly.
This was done by mistake in commit d090159318 (ENH: add support for the
ADSP toolchains for Blackfin, Shark and TigerShark DSPs, patch from
Raphael Cotty, 2007-07-12, v2.6.0~1446), and preserved in the
generalization by commit e9eabb0dcd (ADSP: Configure compiler in
compiler module, 2022-03-24, v3.24.0-rc1~331^2~1). Fix both places.
The `CMAKE_{EXE,SHARED,MODULE,STATIC}_LINKER_FLAGS` variables are
not language-specific, so multiple languages' toolchains may disagree
about if/how to pass the flag through a compiler driver to the linker.
Furthermore, carrying the flag in public-facing variables allows projects
or users to change it even though it is required. Add policy CMP0197
to remove the flag from the public-facing variables and generate it
automatically instead:
* For command-line generators, add the `-machine:` flag to the
linker and archiver rule variables.
* For Visual Studio generators, we do not need to explicitly add the
link `-machine:` flag. MSBuild automatically adds it, and the new
behavior actually removes a duplicate we generated previously.
Issue: #21934
With IntelLLVM on Windows, we link using the compiler driver.
With MSVC on Windows, we invoke the linker directly. If we
use both in a single build tree, for separate languages,
the value of `CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG` conflicts. Add a
per-language `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG` variable to
avoid the conflict. Preserve the language-agnostic variable
for compatibility with projects that reference it.

bf1bb62e74 macOS: Restore support for LLVM/Clang without explicit CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT
Acked-by: Kitware Robot <kwrobot@kitware.com>
Merge-request: !10734
In commit 7b19531291 (macOS: Do not pass any SDK/-isysroot to compilers
by default, 2024-11-06, v4.0.0-rc1~511^2) we broke support for using
upstream LLVM/Clang to build for macOS because the compiler has no
default sysroot. Handle empty `CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT` with LLVM/Clang by
falling back to the macOS SDK reported by `xcrun --show-sdk-path` .
Fixes: #26863
We have a few code paths needed only to support builds hosted on
macOS 10.4. Update the conditions to work when cross-compiling
to macOS from another platform.
Fixes: #26814
Revert commit 2853326e7a (BUG: Only set CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET on
Mac OSX 10.4 or later, 2009-01-27, v2.8.0~1169). AFAIK no one is using
macOS versions older than 10.4 anymore.
Since commit 7b19531291 (macOS: Do not pass any SDK/-isysroot to
compilers by default, 2024-11-06, v4.0.0-rc1~511^2) our default
invocation of compilers targeting macOS no longer passes `-isysroot`.
Without that, Xcode's compilers search `-L/usr/local/lib` by default
even though the macOS dynamic loader does not. Since `/usr/local/lib`
is not a fully-implemented implicit link directory, exclude it from our
detected `CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES` so that our generators
do not suppress `RPATH` entries for dependencies in that directory.
Fixes: #26867
Variables such as CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC are documented as
obsolete/deprecated and ideally shouldn't be used in the code anymore
to have clearer compiler identifications.
In the past QCC compiler was identified as GNU and also had this
variable set to 1 (see policy CMP0047). Same still applies for LCC
compiler (see policy CMP0129).
Previously we saved it in the cache, which:
* Persists even if a new version of CMake changes how the check works.
* Does not propagate to `try_compile` checks.
Export `tbss` (thread variable but part of `bss` section) variables, e.g.:
[125] m 0x00000010 .tbss 1 extern s2n_errno
[126] a4 0x00000004 0 0 CM UL - -
This allows projects to use `if(AIX)` blocks instead of spelling
out `if(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "AIX")`. We already have similar
variables for many other platforms.
Add Swift linker information modules missed by commit c1c4cf9545 (Linker

Fixes: #26657
Replace our hard-coded default for `/RTC1` with a first-class
abstraction to select runtime checks from an enumeration of logical
names. Add a `MSVC_RUNTIME_CHECKS` target property and corresponding
`CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_CHECKS` variable.
Removing the old default flag requires a policy because existing
projects may rely on string processing to edit them and choose
runtime checks under the old behavior. Add policy CMP0184 to
provide compatibility.
Fixes: #26614
CMake now provides the CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_MODE variable which specify how
the link step is done. So, the CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_MODE variable
is no longer needed.
