Rename the CMake script at
`${CMAKE_ROOT}\Modules\CMakeDetermineCompileFeatures.cmake` to
`${CMAKE_ROOT}\Modules\CMakeDetermineCompilerSupport.cmake`. Also,
rename the function defined in that script from
`cmake_determine_compile_features()` to
`cmake_determine_compiler_support()`.
Modify existing CMake scripts which were including the previous
CMake script to refer to the new file and call the new function.
`try_compile` and `try_run` now automatically log checks using them to
`CMakeConfigureLog.yaml`.
Add `LOG_DESCRIPTION` arguments to some `try_compile` calls to
replace the description previously written to the old logs.
Issue: #23200
Modify some modules that ship with CMake to use the new SOURCES_FROM_*
arguments to try_compile / try_run as added by commits cb14ae2b87
(try_compile: Add SOURCE_FROM_{ARG,VAR}, 2022-09-21) and 611d801790
(try_compile: Add SOURCE_FROM_FILE, 2022-09-22). This covers users which
previously either used an existing file (but sometimes needed to rename
it), or which wrote out their source in entirety. It does NOT cover
users that actually need configure_file functionality, as those will be
more involved to update and will thus be tackled in part 2.
Modify most of the modules that ship with CMake to use the new
try_compile / try_run signatures added by commit aa9220d3a0
(try_compile: Add keyword-dispatched signature, 2022-09-02). This
improves debugging by each invocation using its own directory so that
the results of multiple invocations can be retained.
This does not cover any invocations which provide an entire project, as
that flavor of try_compile has not yet been updated.
Update the logic that converts a `try_compile` result from a cache
entry to a normal variable to tolerate an existing normal variable
under CMP0126 NEW behavior. Otherwise the `try_compile` result
is ignored because CMake uses the false value of the normal variable,
and CMake incorrectly reports that the compiler does not work.
This went unnoticed for some languages (e.g. C and CXX) because the
check for a working compiler is skipped if ABI detection works.
It does affect other languages (e.g. CSharp).
Fixes: #22423
We run a `try_compile` with a tiny test source to check if the compiler
works so that we can fail early if it does not. When the compiler does
work, we immediately `try_compile` the ABI detection source. In the
common case that both steps work, we gain no useful information from the
first one and the work was wasted.
Re-order the checks to try the ABI detection first. If it works then
assume the compiler works and skip the dedicated check. If the ABI
check fails then proceed with the normal test for a working compiler so
the diagnostic can be shown as before.
Fixes: #18703
Add entries in Modules and Modules/Platform to support
Objective-C++ compiler determination and identification.
Add Modules to check Objective-C++ compiler flags, source
compilations, program checks, etc...
Use OBJCXX as the designator of the language, eg:
project(foo OBJCXX)
Add various tests for Objective-C++ language features. Add
tests to preserve C++ handling of .M and .mm files when
Objective-C++ is not a configured language.
