In commit c705279bae (Help: Add `.. versionadded` directives to commands
documentation, 2020-11-08, v3.20.0-rc1~508^2) we accidentally added
``versionadded`` markup suggesting that the first argument to
`try_compile` was fixed as `RESULT_VAR` prior to CMake 3.14. This was
probably due to misinterpreting the change from commit 7975edeac5 (Help:
User-provided variable names for try_* commands, 2019-02-24,
v3.14.0-rc3~16^2~3).
The result variable has never been fixed. Drop the incorrect markup.
This change ony concerns directives that appear in the document body.
The guidelines for inserting version directives:
* Baseline version is CMake 3.0, i.e. directives start at 3.1.
* Always use `.. versionadded::` directive, avoid ad-hoc version
references. Exception: policy pages.
* For new command signatures, put `versionadded` on a separate line
after the signature.
* For a group of new signatures in a new document section,
a single version note at the beginning of the section is sufficient.
* For new options, put `versionadded` on a separate line before
option description.
* If all the option descriptions in the list are short one-liners,
it's fine to put `versionadded` on the same line as the description.
* If multiple option descriptions in close proximity would have
the same ..versionadded directive, consider adding a single
directive after the list, mentioning all added options.
* For compact value lists and sub-option lists, put a single
`versionadded` directive after the list mentioning all additions.
* When a change is described in a single paragraph, put
`versionadded` into that paragraph.
* When only part of the paragraph has changed, separate the changed
part if it doesn't break the flow. Otherwise, write a follow-up
clarification paragraph and apply version directive to that.
* When multiple version directives are close by, order earlier
additions before later additions.
* Indent related lists and code blocks to include them in the scope
of `versionadded` directive.
Issue: #19715
All uppercase is typically used for command keywords. Non-keyword
arguments should generally be shown as `<something>` according
to the CMake documentation guide.
If the CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR variable is defined, and
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING is TRUE, then use CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to run
the try_run executables. This prevents the need to populate
TryRunResults.cmake when cross compiling.
Most functionality is already implemented in Source/cmCoreTryCompile.{h,cxx}.
Document and improve argument parsing.
This functionality is already being used by a number of modules, like
CheckCSourceCompiles.cmake, but it is not documented.
