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
In commit 9d44a77454 (find_*: Explicitly normalize found paths as they
exist on disk, 2024-10-17, v4.0.0-rc1~597^2~1), we removed path
normalization from the internal `cmSearchPath::AddPathInternal` helper.
Most call sites were updated to normalize input paths first, but search
paths derived from `<PackageName>_ROOT` CMake variables are no longer
normalized. Instead we normalize the path to the file found after
searching.
When `find_package` "config" mode considers a candidate CMake package
configuration file, normalize its path before loading the adjacent
package version file so that the latter is loaded by absolute path.
Otherwise `cmMakefile::ReadDependentFile` interprets a relative path
with respect to the current source directory rather than the current
working directory.
Fixes: #27279
Since commit 3e6466eb16 (find_package: Honor version requests when
finding CPS packages, 2025-02-12, v4.0.0-rc1~16^2) the test has relied
on `.*` to absorb capitalized paths on case-insensitive filesystems.
Match them explicitly.
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.

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
Refactoring in commit 3882718872 (VS: Decouple solution generation from
`.sln` file format, 2025-09-15) accidentally left out automatic
detection of the external project type id from its file extension.
By default, .NET SDK-style projects build for "Any CPU", so we generate
solution files accordingly. Although CMake does not model per-target
architectures, some projects set the `VS_GLOBAL_PlatformTarget` property
on `DOTNET_SDK` targets in order to compile for a specific architecture.
Fix generated solution files to account for the architecture override.
Issue: #23513
In general we disallow references to transitive target properties, such
as `COMPILE_DEFINITIONS`, in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties,
because the latter establish the transitivity itself. Prior to CMP0189,
the `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties were not themselves transitive
in `$<TARGET_PROPERTY>` expressions, so existing projects have code like
target_link_libraries(foo PRIVATE "$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,LINK_LIBRARIES>")
Policy CMP0189's NEW behavior, introduced by commit b3da9c6d60 (GenEx:
Evaluate LINK_LIBRARIES target properties transitively, 2025-02-24,
v4.1.0-rc1~731^2), makes `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,LINK_LIBRARIES>`
transitive, causing the above to be rejected. Since evaluation of a
target's link libraries can already encounter and handle other targets'
link libraries, allow it in this case.

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
Policy CMP0189, introduced by commit b3da9c6d60 (GenEx: Evaluate
LINK_LIBRARIES target properties transitively, 2025-02-24,
v4.1.0-rc1~731^2), takes effect at generation time, and so uses the
policy value as of the end of each directory. However, some projects
may rely on `file(GENERATE)` with the policy's OLD behavior in order
to extract targets' *direct* dependencies from `LINK_LIBRARIES`.
Pending a first-class solution to that problem, make it easier for
projects to port to the policy's NEW behavior in general while
retaining the OLD behavior in an isolated context.
Fixes: #27220
