Provide a way for custom commands and targets to set the pool variable
of the ninja build statement. Setting `JOB_POOL` is not compatible with
`USES_TERMINAL`, which implies the `console` pool.
The option is silently ignored with other generators.
Closes: #18483
On non-Windows platforms libuv assumes that file descriptors 0-2 are
always used for standard pipes and never for anything else. Otherwise,
libuv may re-use one of these descriptors and then fail an assertion
when closing it. Similarly, On Windows platforms our ConsoleBuf
implementation assumes that the standard handles are always open.
If CMake is run with any standard pipes closed, open them with
`/dev/null` or `NUL` to satisfy these assumptions.

Use the word "Update" instead of "Test" in ctest_update's RunCMake tests.
This change was prompted because I noticed that UpdateChangeId-check.cmake
was not actually getting called during the relevant test case. This file
also had to be updated since its purpose is to detect an expected XML element
(not an attribute).
Extend tests added by commit fb3370b6a1 (MSVC: Add abstraction for
runtime library selection, 2019-04-10) to cover an empty value for
the property. It should result in no specific setting.
Issue: #19108
Add COMMAND_ECHO option to the execute_process command. This will allow
execute_process to show the command it will run. Also add a cmake variable
CMAKE_EXECUTE_PROCESS_COMMAND_ECHO. Both the option and the variable can
be set to one of the following: STDERR|STDOUT|NONE. The command will be
printed to stderr or stdout or not at all.
Fixes: #18933
We do not add default warning flags on other compilers, and having
a warning flag in the default flags makes it hard for projects to
customize the warning level. They need to use string processing
to remove `/W3` from `CMAKE_{C,CXX}_FLAGS`. Therefore we should
drop it.
However, projects may be using string processing to replace `/W3`
with another flag, so we cannot simply drop it. Add a policy to
drop it in a compatible way.
Fixes: #18317
The value of `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` is computed by Visual Studio
generators based on `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` or some default.
Prior to the VS 2019 generator, the default was always `Win32`.
However, for the `Visual Studio 16 2019` generator, the default is
based on the host platform.
Store the default in a new `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME_DEFAULT` variable for
use by project code. This is particularly useful in toolchain files
because they are allowed to set `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` and so
`CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` is not yet known. Of course the toolchain file
author knows whether it will set `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM`, and if not
then `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME_DEFAULT` provides the platform name that
will be used.
Fixes: #19177
Replace our hard-coded defaults for `/MD` and `/MDd` with a first-class
abstraction to select the runtime library from an enumeration of logical
names. We've long hesitated to do this because the idea of "runtime
library selection" touches on related concepts on several platforms.
Avoid that scope creep by simply defining an abstraction that applies
only when targeting the MSVC ABI on Windows.
Removing the old default flags requires a policy because existing
projects may rely on string processing to edit them and choose a runtime
library under the old behavior. Add policy CMP0091 to provide
compatibility.
Fixes: #19108
