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
Avoid repeating almost identical information for every module.
Document the pattern of the change and refer the reader to individual
modules for details.
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.
Fixes: #27253
Changes:
- Added new `RESULT_VARIABLE` keyword to enable customizing the name of
the internal cache variable, which contains the boolean result of the
check.
- The macro check_type_size() changed to function for easier arguments
handling.
- Documentation synced and extended to better understand the
check_type_size() command. Some typos fixed in the initial example.
- CheckTypeSize tests adjusted so also C++ is tested.
- Error messages slightly adjusted when checking the LANGUAGE argument.
Closes: #27202
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.

This deprecates the ImageMagick_VERSION_STRING result variable.
Additionally, ImageMagick version is now determined by either mogrify
executable (if available), or from the `<magick/version.h>` header.
Issue: #27088
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.
By setting CPACK_WIX_CAB_PER_COMPONENT users can generate one
.cab per component instead of one .cab per installer.
WiX compresses .cab files in parallel.
This may potentially speed up installer creation.
May also allow larger installers (there is a 2GB per .cab limit).
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.
CMake historically has forced an `objects[-<CONFIG>]/<TARGET_NAME>`
subdirectory under an `OBJECT` library installation's `OBJECTS
DESTINATION` which may be unwanted. Support skipping this component
with a target property.
