`include-what-you-use` diagnostics, in practice, are specific to
the environment's compiler and standard library. Update includes
to satisfy IWYU for our CI job under Debian 13. Some patterns:
* Types named in virtual `override` signatures no longer require
includes since the overridden signature already names them.
* A function argument's type needs to be included even if its constructor
is called only by implicit conversion. For example, constructing a
`std::function` from a lambda now requires `<functional>`.
* Some prior mysterious `<type_traits>` inclusions are no longer required.
Instead of inheriting from `cmArgumentParser<void>` and binding arguments by
overriding `BindArguments`, define a struct for the arguments and instantiate
a static const parser in the `InitialPass` function of each command. Pass the
argument struct down to all functions that need to access it.
Make sure that all classes have a public inherited constructor, protected
data members for the arguments, followed by other private virtual functions.
The intention is to make following changes to have a smaller diff.
#pragma once is a widely supported compiler pragma, even though it is
not part of the C++ standard. Many of the issues keeping #pragma once
from being standardized (distributed filesystems, build farms, hard
links, etc.) do not apply to CMake - it is easy to build CMake on a
single machine. CMake also does not install any header files which can
be consumed by other projects (though cmCPluginAPI.h has been
deliberately omitted from this conversion in case anyone is still using
it.) Finally, #pragma once has been required to build CMake since at
least August 2017 (7f29bbe6 enabled server mode unconditionally, which
had been using #pragma once since September 2016 (b13d3e0d)). The fact
that we now require C++11 filters out old compilers, and it is unlikely
that there is a compiler which supports C++11 but does not support
#pragma once.
Provide a standardized way to handle the C++ "standard" headers
customized to be used with current CMake C++ standard constraints.
Offer under directory `cm` headers which can be used as direct
replacements of the standard ones. For example:
#include <cm/string_view>
can be used safely for CMake development in place of the `<string_view>`
standard header.
Fixes: #19491
We now require C++11 support including `override`. Drop use of
the old compatibility macro. Convert references as follows:
git grep -l CM_OVERRIDE -- '*.h' '*.hxx' '*.cxx' |
xargs sed -i 's/CM_OVERRIDE/override/g'
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.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
The CTest version control refactoring broke the value returned for the
ctest_update command's RETURN_VALUE argument. The value is supposed to
be the number of files updated, but the refactoring accidentally made it
the number of locally modified files after the update.
This corrects the terse documentation and adds detail to the full
documentation of some commands. It also normalizes the layout of the
documentation string endings to make adding lines easier.
