GCC mistakenly issues the pedantic warning "ISO C forbids conversion of
function pointer to object pointer type". With -pedantic-errors in the
compile flags, that diagnostic prevents check_symbol_exists() from
detecting function symbols.
The solution is to filter out -pedantic-errors (and -Werror, just to be
future proof) before invoking try_compile().
Fixes: #13208
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-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
