With the use of options `Boost_USE_DEBUG_LIBS` and
`Boost_USE_RELEASE_LIBS` it is now possible to skip searching for either
DEBUG or RELEASE Boost libraries.
This is useful if Boost is installed on the system in multiple
directories but only one of them should be used which only contains e.g.
the RELEASE libraries. Without this change the DEBUG libraries might be
found in the other directory which might not be desired at all.
Revert commit v3.9.0-rc1~41^2 (FindBoost: Simplify search in lists,
2017-04-23). It regressed the module by exposing issue #17257, but the
fix for that issue is not suitable for inclusion in a patch release.
It is simplest to revert the commit until the larger problem can be
addressed.
Fixes: #17252
Some boost libraries may require particular set of compler features.
The very first one was `boost::fiber` introduced in Boost 1.62.
One can check required compiler features of it in
`${Boost_ROOT}/libs/fiber/build/Jamfile.v2`.
Since commit v3.8.0-rc1~136^2 (FindBoost: Search official location of
prebuilt binaries on Windows, 2016-12-21) we pass input paths through
`_Boost_UPDATE_WINDOWS_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DIRS_WITH_PREBUILT_PATHS` in more
places than before. This broke tolerance of backslashes in paths
provided by the user due to the macro argument re-parsing. Turn
`_Boost_UPDATE_WINDOWS_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DIRS_WITH_PREBUILT_PATHS` into a
function instead of macro to avoid re-parsing of macro arguments.
Fixes: #16816
Changes in commit 3ca6f70f (FindBoost: Allow testing for multiple
compiler suffixes, 2017-03-28) accidentally left a `set()` instead of a
`list(APPEND)` while constructing `_boost_RELEASE_NAMES`. Fix the logic
to match what was done for `_boost_DEBUG_NAMES`. Otherwise we drop some
of the candidate names.
Update the module to enable finding components of Boost 1.64 (beta) from
the upcoming release. Also update the Boost library name mangling used
for VS 2017 to match a change made to Boost upstream (vc150 => vc1410).
This fixes a regression introduced by commit v3.3.0-rc1~5^2~2
(FindBoost: Search for debug and release libraries separately,
2015-01-26). The `_Boost_CHANGE_LIBDIR` variable was split into
`_Boost_CHANGE_LIBDIR_{DEBUG,RELEASE}` but one usage site was not
updated.
Make it possible to find Boost in the default install path (`c:\boost`)
of an official prebuilt binaries installation even when `BOOST_ROOT`
has not been specified.
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.
The official Windows builds of Boost have internal implementations for
`zlib` and `bzip2` libraries used by Boost::iostreams library, e.g.
* boost_bzip2-vc140-mt-1_59.lib
* boost_zlib-vc140-mt-1_59.lib
Add check headers for these so that users can specify them as
components without any warnings.

FindBoost only detects Debug and Release configurations. All other
configurations will fall back to the configuration listed as the first
entry in `IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS`. Switch the order so that `Release`
is listed first, as this is a better fallback than `Debug` for the
`RelWithDebInfo` and `MinSizeRel` configurations. See issue #16091.
This supplements the existing library checks, to
cater for the possibility that the libraries are
present but the headers are not. This can happen
when the Boost collections is split up into
multiple packages and not all are installed,
and will avoid the checks silently passing when
the build would subsequently fail.
Previously we added only NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH to find command calls.
Add NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH too so that paths found from system
environment variables are not considered either.
Depending upon the configuration, certain components may or may not
be installed, for example Boost.Regex, but other components may
still have header dependencies upon these components which will
obviously fail to work. Since we can't make a sensible
determination with the hardcoded dependency information, we
choose to interpret these dependencies less strictly.
