For cases where a CMAKE_XXX variable provides a default value for a
XXX target property, the convention used in the documentation is to
put the detailed explanation in the target property docs, leaving the
variable docs to be fairly minimal and cross-reference the target
property docs for details.
When the (CMAKE_)LINK_LIBRARIES_STRATEGY docs were first added,
they were the opposite of this convention, putting the details in the
variable docs instead of the property docs. This change moves the
details to the property docs to make it consistent with the prevailing
convention used elsewhere.
In commit 2c2291bbe0 (ENH: add new feature to ctest so that it can
cmake, build and run a test executable, 2004-01-07, v2.4.0~3483) ctest
was taught to recognize tests that run ctest itself and run them
internally instead of spawning a new process. This optimization was
removed by commit b9daa192af (ENH: Refactored CTest test execution code
into an object, 2009-08-19, v2.8.0~276) `cmCTestRunTest` replaced
`cmCTestTestHandler::ProcessOneTest`, which was eventually removed by
commit 5a5cc52230 (Fixed conversion warning on 64 bit machines,
2009-08-31, v2.8.0~241). Since then the optimization was only left in
`--build-and-test` mode, likely by accident, where it makes little
difference. Remove it to simplify the code.
Also drop the `--force-new-ctest-process` option, originally added by
commit 9255e40d81 (ENH: Add a way to force ctest to be a new process,
2004-05-10, v2.4.0~3101), since it no longer does anything.
In commit 0f37000304 (try_{compile,run}: add LINKER_LANGUAGE option,
2023-10-12, v3.29.0-rc1~567^2) a release note was accidentally added in
the wrong directory and so was not included in the 3.29 release notes.
In commit 95323c90a1 (file(MAKE_DIRECTORY): Add optional RESULT keyword
to capture failure., 2024-06-16, v3.31.0-rc1~414^2) the release note was
added in the wrong directory so it was not gathered for the 3.31 release.
Fixes: #26377
Add a target property that will be read on unity file generation to
attempt to use a relative path to the source file from the CMake Source
Directory or the generated unity file. Additionally add the CMake
Source Directory and the CMake Binary directory to the include path of
the generated unity files.

Re-introduce the behavior originally introduced in CMake 3.30.3 by
commit c1ece78d11 (project: non cache <project> prefix variables are
also created, 2024-08-27, v3.30.3~2^2), but this time with a policy for
compatibility.
Issue: #25714
Issue: #26243
The change in commit 86ad7cc886 (project: Only define non-cache vars if
already defined, 2024-09-15, v3.30.4~2^2) was meant to only check for
non-cache variables when deciding whether to set non-cache project
variables for the current call. However, it erroneously checked for any
variable, including cache variables. This gives the intended result on
the first run, but on subsequent runs a cache variable will exist that
did not on the first run, leading to different behavior between the two
runs. Fix the logic to only check for a pre-existing non-cache
variable, as was originally intended.

Issue a deprecation warning on calls to `cmake_minimum_required` or
`cmake_policy` that set policies based on versions older than 3.10.
Note that the effective policy version includes `...<max>` treatment.
Update the check from commit 3a4791548d (Deprecate compatibility with
CMake versions older than 3.5, 2023-02-09, v3.27.0-rc1~508^2).
Remove some edge cases where if CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DEPENDS is a list
it would not be expanded on all components leaving some with ';'(s) in
the Depends field of the control file.
Same goes for using CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS.
This will now preserve empty values in the TEST_LAUNCHER and
CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR target properties for tests added by:
- The add_test() command.
- The ExternalData_Add_Test() command from the ExternalData module.
- The gtest_add_tests() or gtest_discover_tests() commands from the
GoogleTest module.
For the gtest_add_tests() and gtest_discover_tests() commands,
empty elements in the values passed after the EXTRA_ARGS keyword
are also now preserved.
Policy CMP0178 is added to provide backward compatibility with the
old behavior where empty values were silently discarded from the
above cases.
