A new set of files are dedicated to linker configuration.
This set of files enable a fine-tuned configuration based of the linker
type as identified during compiler detection.
Fixes: #25360
Add a variable to indicate the latest standard known to be supported for
each language:
* `CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_CUDA_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_HIP_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_OBJC_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_OBJCXX_STANDARD_LATEST`
These variables, more generally referred to as
`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LATEST`, are assigned an integer value which
represents the minimum between the latest version of the associated
language standard supported by the current compiler and the latest
version supported by CMake.
Add documentation for these variables in a new page called
`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LATEST` was added under the "Variables for
Languages" section of the `cmake-variables(7)` page.
Update each compiler-specific CMake script under
`${CMAKE_ROOT}\Modules\Compiler` to manually define the relevant
`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LATEST` variable as necessary. This will
require updating and maintaining as newer compiler versions become
recognized by CMake.
Closes: #25717
Fat LTO objects contain both traditional object code and the LTO bitcode
IR, but the GNU compiler does not support them on Apple platforms.
A compile error is raised when `-f[no-]fat-lto-objects` flags are used,
so avoid them.
This also implies that static Fortran libraries cannot be built with IPO.
Fixes: #25931
Add the following macros to `${CMAKE_ROOT}\Modules\Compiler\GNU.cmake`:
* `__compiler_gnu_c_standards()`
* `__compiler_gnu_cxx_standards()`
These macros are used to define the
`CMAKE_<LANG><STANDARD>_STANDARD_COMPILE_OPTION` and
`CMAKE_<LANG><STANDARD>_EXTENSION_COMPILE_OPTION` variables for C-
and C++-based languages for GCC. The macros are similar to the
existing `__compiler_clang_cxx_standards()` macro found in
`${CMAKE_ROOT}\Modules\Compiler\Clang.cmake`.
Apply the fix from commit 1ec6485c6a (Support duplicate object names in
large archives, 2014-04-16, v3.1.0-rc1~629^2) to the IPO-specific
archiving rules. Use "quick append" instead of "replace".
Fixes: #25675
Issue: #14874
Since commit a66004bee0 (Honor CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS[_<CONFIG>]_INIT set in
toolchain files, 2016-07-05, v3.7.0-rc1~392^2) we've accidentally been
adding extra optimization flags instead of replacing unwanted flags.
Fixes: #25434
Don't initialize the other CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_PREDEFINES_COMMAND
variables.
The only language variant that is used is
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_PREDEFINES_COMMAND, and the other language variants
contained invalid, namely C++-specific commands.
Fixes: #23968
Revise the change from commit fe57410b33 (IPO: Use -flto=auto if
compiler is GCC >= 10.1, 2022-06-22, v3.24.0-rc2~2^2) to require
at least GCC 11 on Windows.
Fixes: #23836
Issue: #23640
Add `COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` target property and supporting
`CMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` variable.
`COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR` is initialized by
`CMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR`. It is a boolean variable. If it is
true, it expands to a different flag depending on the compiler such that
any warnings at compile will be treated as errors.
Supports compiler ids that I could find a relevant flag for.

These changes are in preparation of compiler generated dependencies support
for Makefiles generators
* compiler output and dependency target can be different for Makefiles generators
* resolve inconsistency naming for dependency file place-holder
Rename the `CheckPIESupported` helper functions so that they
don't clobber other internal functions. Also rename them to
document they can't be unified with `CheckCompilerFlag`.
Fixes: #21497
The PCH settings are shared by C and CXX languages but do not make sense
for Fortran. In particular, `CMAKE_PCH_EXTENSION` should not be set
because it can overwrite the value set for C/C++ languages, which may
have a different compiler vendor than the Fortran compiler.
Fixes: #20752
AUTOMOC used to fail to generate ``moc_predefs.h`` when ``ccache`` was used
as a compiler starter by e.g. configuring a project with the environment
variable CXX="ccache g++".
The reason was that ``CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ARG1`` wasn't respected in the
definition of ``CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_PREDEFINES_COMMAND`` for various
compilers. This is fixed by this patch.
Fixes#17275.
Moves `CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_PREDEFINES_COMMAND` from linux specific
[Modules/Platform/Linux-GNU.cmake](Modules/Platform/Linux-GNU.cmake) to
[Modules/Compiler/GNU.cmake](Modules/Compiler/GNU.cmake).
This enables compiler predefines generation (in AUTOMOC) on all
platforms that run gcc (and clang).
In the normal archiving rules the ``<CMAKE_AR>`` placeholder is replaced
by the generators with a properly-quoted path to the tool. In the IPO
rules we specify the tools directly, so we need to quote them.
Fixes: #17326
We only define `INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` behavior for C, CXX, and
Fortran languages. Do not try to enable support for other languages.
Furthermore, each language builds with a different compiler, so check
for support by CMake and the compiler for each language independently.
Fixes: #16944
The variables recently added by commit b9d36826 (Add 'CMAKE_GCC_AR' and
'CMAKE_GCC_RANLIB' variables, 2017-03-08) are more appropriately managed
with language-specific names rather than toolchain-specific names.
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.
This flag is needed for the `<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET` target property.
It has been supported since GCC 4.0, not 4.2 as we previously recorded.
Fixes#16222.
Document these variables.
Change our convention for setting these variables from:
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT "...")
to
string(APPEND CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT " ...")
so that any value previously set by a toolchain file will be used.
Automate the conversion with:
sed -i 's/set *(\(CMAKE_\(C\|CXX\|Fortran\|RC\|ASM\|${[^}]\+}\)_FLAGS\(_[^_]\+\)\?_INIT \+"\)/string(APPEND \1 /' \
Modules/Compiler/*.cmake Modules/Platform/*.cmake
and follow up with some manual fixes (e.g. to cases that already
meant to append). Also revert the automated changes to contexts
that are not protected from running multiple times.
When system-provided packages are upgraded we must re-compile sources
depending on their headers. Use `-MD` instead of `-MMD` so that the
generated depfiles do not exclude system headers.

Due to #4662 -isystem support was disabled for all GNU Compilers
on Apple platforms. But the change was probably a just work around
for a broken compiler on Tiger (see 10837#c27206). So we tighten
the condition to only kick in for GCC versions earlier than 4.
That should ensure sane behavior for Xcode 3.2 and later.
Teach the Makefile and Ninja generators to substitute for an <INCLUDES>
placeholder instead of putting -I in <FLAGS>. Update our values for
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILE_OBJECT,
CMAKE_<LANG>_CREATE_ASSEMBLY_SOURCE, and
CMAKE_<LANG>_CREATE_PREPROCESSED_SOURCE
to place <INCLUDES> just before <FLAGS>.
As CMAKE_ROOT_FIND_PATH can be a list, a new CMAKE_SYSROOT is
introduced, which is never a list.
The contents of this variable is passed to supporting compilers
as --sysroot. It is also accounted for when processing implicit
link directories reported by the compiler, and when generating
RPATH information.

This is initialized by CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET. The target
property is used as the operand to the -fvisibility= compile option
with GNU compilers and clang.
Previously, it was inconsistent in that some platforms/compilers
had this flag for the RelWithDebInfo configuration and some didn't.
This fixes issue #11366.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
