Using `signature` renders the anchor links for each sub-command, and is
consistent with the other `Help/command` pages which contain multiple
sub-commands.
This adds the following new arrays, which together capture all direct
dependencies and interface dependencies of a target:
- linkLibraries
- interfaceLinkLibraries
- compileDependencies
- interfaceCompileDependencies
- objectDependencies
- orderDependencies
Fixes: #21995, #25213
When targeting the MSVC ABI, define `_MBCS` by default if the project
does not define `_SBCS` or `_UNICODE`. Visual Studio has long defined
one of the three character set macros automatically. For consistency,
define it when compiling for the MSVC ABI with other generators.
Add policy CMP0204 for compatibility.
Fixes: #27275
Adds support for "symbolic" components, which represent feature-level
capabilities of a package that do not correspond to actual build targets.
These are modeled as pseudo-targets, using the INTERFACE type as a base,
and can be queried via:
get_target_property(... <tgt> "SYMBOLIC")
This enables consumers to declare requirements on optional features
(e.g., SSL support) even when they do not map to concrete targets.
Fixes: #27187
Create a single place to store target data to prevent duplication.
This moves `targetType` and `targetLabels` out of the snippet files
and into a target map in the `cmakeContent` file referenced by each
snippet.
Fixes: #27244
Replace the explicit list of common `INTERFACE_*` property names
with links to the dedicated sections listing usage requirements.
Restore documentation of the pre-3.19 restrictions on property names,
previously removed by commit afb998704e (Remove filtering of allowed
INTERFACE library properties, 2020-07-14, v3.19.0-rc1~346^2~2).
Issue: #27271
Visual Studio defines this automatically for `.dll` targets.
For consistency, define it when compiling for the MSVC ABI
with other generators. Add policy CMP0203 for compatibility.

2fdd1e787f instrumentation: Additional data in custom, install and link snippets
3db07b0189 cmInstallScriptHandler: Refactor to store config and path for each command
Acked-by: Kitware Robot <kwrobot@kitware.com>

Merge-request: !11241
- Include `config` in all `install` and `custom` snippets
- Include `target` for `custom` snippets where applicable
- Document and test inclusion of `language` in `link` snippets
Issue: #27244
This marks all `<PACKAGENAME>_FOUND` result variables as deprecated
where possible (for `<PackageName>` find modules) to make it clearer
which variable to use.
In CMake 3.3, the FindPackageHandleStandardArgs module was refactored to
set both `<PackageName>_FOUND` and uppercase `<PACKAGENAME>_FOUND`
result variables to the same values. Before that, the FOUND_VAR argument
could be used to set the result variable.
* FindMatlab: Uppercased MATLAB_FOUND is not mentioned as it was never
documented.
* Documentation for FindPythonInterp and FindPythonLibs modules synced
accordingly to their deprecation (3.12 instead of 4.2).
* OPENGL_FOUND: deprecation version synced with other find modules.
* DevIL_FOUND was introduced in CMake 3.8. The uppercased variant not
mentioned as it was previously never documented.

Some deployments may not be able to discover the metadata file reliably
(e.g., custom `clang` builds on macOS while using the SDK's stdlib or
distribution bugs). Allow users to force the location so that
compiler-driven detection doesn't have to bend over backwards for
unforeseen bugs.
Projects which ship object files as artifacts may want to control the
object names as much as possible. Support setting explicit object names
as source file properties to support such use cases.
