Under job server integration, added by commit 80fe56c481 (ctest: Add
support for running under a make job server on POSIX systems,
2023-11-15, v3.29.0-rc1~324^2), use a very high default so that
parallelism is effectively limited only by available job server tokens.
Otherwise, choose a default limit based on the number of processors.
Also allow passing `0` to specify unbounded parallelism.
Fixes: #25739
CMake Tests Directory
*********************
This directory contains the CMake test suite.
See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_.
.. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst
Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests
are organized as follows.
* ``CMakeLib/``:
Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library
defined over in ``Source/``.
* ``CMakeOnly/``:
Deprecated. Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it.
Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.
* ``Find*/``:
Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with
the corresponding packages installed. They are enabled in
``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds.
* ``Module/``:
Tests for specific CMake modules.
* ``RunCMake/``:
Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking
their return code and stdout/stderr content. Useful for testing
error cases and diagnostic output.
