The OLD behaviors of all policies are deprecated, but only by
documentation. Add an explicit deprecation diagnostic for some policies
to encourage projects to port away from setting policies to OLD.
Run the `clang-format.bash` script to update all our C and C++ code to a
new style defined by `.clang-format`. Use `clang-format` version 6.0.

Projects use `try_compile` to check if they will be able to compile some
particular source code. When a language standard variable like
`CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` is set, then the project intends to compile source
code using a compiler mode for that standard. Therefore it makes sense
for `try_compile` to use that standard in the test project too.
Unfortunately this was not done when support for the
`CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` variable was first implemented. Add a policy to
introduce the improved behavior in a compatible way.
Closes: #16456
Give `try_compile` callers a way to control the `CXX_STANDARD`,
`CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED`, and `CXX_EXTENSIONS` properties of the
generated test target (or the `C` equivalents) in order to compile a
test source for a particular language standard.
Issue: #16456
This causes the `-Wno-deprecated` option to be honored even inside a
`try_compile` test project, which is needed to suppress all deprecation
warnings as the option documents.
Closes: #16446
In the `try_compile` source file signature we propagate the caller's
value of `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS` into the test project. Extend this to
propagate `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>` too instead of always using the
default value in the test project. This will be useful, for example, to
allow the MSVC runtime library to be changed (e.g. `-MDd` => `-MTd`).
However, some projects may currently depend on this not being done,
so we need to activate the behavior using a policy.
This change was originally made by commit v3.6.0-rc1~160^2 (try_compile:
Honor CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> changes, 2016-04-11) but without the
policy and so had to be reverted during the 3.6 release candidate cycle.
Fixes#16174.
Revert commit v3.6.0-rc1~160^2 (try_compile: Honor
CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> changes, 2016-04-11). The behavior it
introduced can break projects that depend on the lack of such behavior.
We will have to introduce a policy or other mechanism to enable the
behavior in a compatible way. Simply revert it for now.
See issue #16174.
Add a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable to specify a list
of custom variables to be forwarded to a `try_compile` test project.
This will be useful for platform information modules or toolchain files
to forward some platform-specific set of variables from the host project
(perhaps set in its cache) to the test project so that it can build the
same way.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

In the `try_compile` source file signature we propagate the caller's
value of `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS` into the test project. Extend this to
propagate `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>` too instead of always using the
default value in the test project. This will be useful, for example, to
allow the MSVC runtime library to be changed (e.g. `-MDd` => `-MTd`).
Create a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` option to specify use
of `add_library(... STATIC ...)` for the generated test project.
This will be useful for cross-compiling toolchains that cannot
link a binary without custom flags or scripts.
With the Makefile and Ninja generators we expect that touching the input
source file for a try_compile will cause CMake to re-run on the next
build. Extend the RunCMake.try_compile test with a case covering this.
Also check that CMake does not re-run if nothing has changed.
Most functionality is already implemented in Source/cmCoreTryCompile.{h,cxx}.
Document and improve argument parsing.
This functionality is already being used by a number of modules, like
CheckCSourceCompiles.cmake, but it is not documented.
Copy CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS into the test project generated by
try_compile, just like we already copy CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS.
Add CMake Policy CMP0056 to activate this behavior in a compatible way,
but do not warn by default when the policy is not set since it will
affect all try_compile calls.
Extend the RunCMake.try_compile test with a case covering this behavior
for each policy setting.
Set the minimum required version of CMake high enough to avoid the
warning for CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32. The warning appears on stderr
and breaks the expected output matching.
When the COPY_FILE operation fails optionally capture the error message
with a COPY_FILE_ERROR option instead of reporting the error
immediately. This gives callers a chance to do something else or report
the error.
Teach the RunCMake.try_compile test to cover bad argument combinations
involving COPY_FILE_ERROR. Teach the TryCompile test to cover the case
of a COPY_FILE error message captured by COPY_FILE_ERROR.
Extend the signature
try_compile(RESULT_VAR <bindir> <srcfile> ...)
to allow multiple sources as
try_compile(RESULT_VAR <bindir> SOURCES <srcfile>... ...)
Process the sources to generate a CMakeLists.txt that enables all needed
languages.
Teach the TryCompile test to try cases with two sources of the same
language and of mixed languages. Teach RunCMake.try_compile to cover
error cases for the signature.
Process all arguments in a single loop using a simple state machine.
While at it, fix some error message typos. Also allow LINK_LIBRARIES
with no actual libraries to disable use of the -DLINK_LIBRARIES=...
from the CMAKE_FLAGS. This was already possible in the old logic if
LINK_LIBRARIES was immediately followed by another keyword argument
instead of the end of the argument list, so allow it in general.
Update the RunCMake.try_compile test cases accordingly.
