To handle safely the values used by CMake variables and properties,
introduce the class cmProp as a replacement from the simple pointer
to std::string instance.
Old implementation uses involved Flex input management technique that
requires usage of obsolete YY_INPUT macro. This causes a lot of useless
allocations and byte-by-byte scanning. New implementation avoids those
hacks, it uses yy_scan_string() API to setup Flex input. Also it fixes
reporting of syntax error position and corresponding tests.
This replaces `std::ostringstream`, when it is written to only once.
If the single written argument was numeric, `std::to_string` is used instead.
Otherwise, the single written argument is used directly instead of the
`std::ostringstream::str()` invocation.
This patch is generated by a python script that uses regular expressions to
search for string concatenation patterns of the kind
```
std::string str = <ARG0>;
str += <ARG1>;
str += <ARG2>;
...
```
and replaces them with a single `cmStrCat` call
```
std::string str = cmStrCat(<ARG0>, <ARG1>, <ARG2>, ...);
```
If any `<ARGX>` is itself a concatenated string of the kind
```
a + b + c + ...;
```
then `<ARGX>` is split into multiple arguments for the `cmStrCat` call.
If there's a sequence of literals in the `<ARGX>`, then all literals in the
sequence are concatenated and merged into a single literal argument for
the `cmStrCat` call.
Single character strings are converted to single char arguments for
the `cmStrCat` call.
`std::to_string(...)` wrappings are removed from `cmStrCat` arguments,
because it supports numeric types as well as string types.
`arg.substr(x)` arguments to `cmStrCat` are replaced with
`cm::string_view(arg).substr(x)`
This adds the following functions to `cmStringAlgorithms`:
- `cmIsSpace`
- `cmTrimWhitespace` (moved from `cmSystemTools::TrimWhitespace`)
- `cmEscapeQuotes` (moved from `cmSystemTools::EscapeQuotes`)
- `cmTokenize` (moved from `cmSystemTools::tokenize` and adapted to
accept `cm::string_view`)
Some code paths in `ExpandVariablesInString{New,Old}` were not checking
the `filename` parameter for a null pointer, but this can happen when
using the above flags together. Add the checks and a test case.
Fixes: #17896
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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.

In commit v2.8.4~32^2~14 (Use cmake::IssueMessage for warnings,
2010-12-07) these warnings became formatted. It is more informative to
give the full call stack with such warnings. Also it is easier to
implement warnings with a full call stack because we do not have to
construct a custom backtrace with only the top.
The backtrace will soon not be implemented in terms of a stack of
cmListFileContext objects. Keep the cmListFileContext in the API
for convenience for now.
This topic was never tested without some follow-up commits. The
GetCacheEntryValue API returns a pointer to memory freed on return.
It will have to be revised along with the rest of the original topic.
