- Added intro code blocks showing how to use find modules.
- Synced modules documentation.
- Extended few examples to make the intro code blocks fit into the
modules descriptions.
- Synced some RST formatting, variables descriptions and positions.
- Removed few redundant internal comments.
Issue: #26555
Since commit d74210a8bd (CMP0017: Remove support for OLD behavior,
2024-11-17) we can rely on CMP0017's NEW behavior unconditionally.
Calling `include(FindPackageHandleStandardArgs)` in a builtin module
will always get the builtin `FindPackageHandleStandardArgs`.
The `find_package_handle_standard_args(FOUND_VAR)` is deprecated as of
CMake 3.3 and both the `<PackageName>_FOUND` and the upper-cased
`<PACKAGE_NAME>_FOUND` are set with or without using this option.
Additionally, find modules and docs are also synced with this to make it
clearer.
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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Find modules only detect 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 approach is recommended by documentation in `cmake-developer(7)`
added by commit v3.2.0-rc1~286^2~1 (Help: Document IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS
target property for Find modules, 2014-12-04).
