Nikita Nemkin c705279bae Help: Add .. versionadded directives to commands documentation
This change ony concerns directives that appear in the document body.

The guidelines for inserting version directives:

 * Baseline version is CMake 3.0, i.e. directives start at 3.1.
 * Always use `.. versionadded::` directive, avoid ad-hoc version
   references. Exception: policy pages.
 * For new command signatures, put `versionadded` on a separate line
   after the signature.
 * For a group of new signatures in a new document section,
   a single version note at the beginning of the section is sufficient.
 * For new options, put `versionadded` on a separate line before
   option description.
 * If all the option descriptions in the list are short one-liners,
   it's fine to put `versionadded` on the same line as the description.
 * If multiple option descriptions in close proximity would have
   the same ..versionadded directive, consider adding a single
   directive after the list, mentioning all added options.
 * For compact value lists and sub-option lists, put a single
  `versionadded` directive after the list mentioning all additions.
 * When a change is described in a single paragraph, put
   `versionadded` into that paragraph.
 * When only part of the paragraph has changed, separate the changed
   part if it doesn't break the flow. Otherwise, write a follow-up
   clarification paragraph and apply version directive to that.
 * When multiple version directives are close by, order earlier
   additions before later additions.
 * Indent related lists and code blocks to include them in the scope
   of `versionadded` directive.

add_test
--------
Add a test to the project to be run by :manual:`ctest(1)`.
.. code-block:: cmake
add_test(NAME <name> COMMAND <command> [<arg>...]
[CONFIGURATIONS <config>...]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY <dir>]
[COMMAND_EXPAND_LISTS])
Adds a test called ``<name>``. The test name may contain arbitrary
characters, expressed as a :ref:`Quoted Argument` or :ref:`Bracket Argument`
if necessary. See policy :policy:`CMP0110`. The options are:
``COMMAND``
Specify the test command-line. If ``<command>`` specifies an
executable target (created by :command:`add_executable`) it will
automatically be replaced by the location of the executable created
at build time.
``CONFIGURATIONS``
Restrict execution of the test only to the named configurations.
``WORKING_DIRECTORY``
Set the :prop_test:`WORKING_DIRECTORY` test property to
specify the working directory in which to execute the test.
If not specified the test will be run with the current working
directory set to the build directory corresponding to the
current source directory.
``COMMAND_EXPAND_LISTS``
.. versionadded:: 3.16
Lists in ``COMMAND`` arguments will be expanded, including those
created with
:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
The given test command is expected to exit with code ``0`` to pass and
non-zero to fail, or vice-versa if the :prop_test:`WILL_FAIL` test
property is set. Any output written to stdout or stderr will be
captured by :manual:`ctest(1)` but does not affect the pass/fail status
unless the :prop_test:`PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION`,
:prop_test:`FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION` or
:prop_test:`SKIP_REGULAR_EXPRESSION` test property is used.
.. versionadded:: 3.16
Added :prop_test:`SKIP_REGULAR_EXPRESSION` property.
The ``COMMAND`` and ``WORKING_DIRECTORY`` options may use "generator
expressions" with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the
:manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for available expressions.
Example usage:
.. code-block:: cmake
add_test(NAME mytest
COMMAND testDriver --config $<CONFIGURATION>
--exe $<TARGET_FILE:myexe>)
This creates a test ``mytest`` whose command runs a ``testDriver`` tool
passing the configuration name and the full path to the executable
file produced by target ``myexe``.
.. note::
CMake will generate tests only if the :command:`enable_testing`
command has been invoked. The :module:`CTest` module invokes the
command automatically unless the ``BUILD_TESTING`` option is turned
``OFF``.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
.. code-block:: cmake
add_test(<name> <command> [<arg>...])
Add a test called ``<name>`` with the given command-line. Unlike
the above ``NAME`` signature no transformation is performed on the
command-line to support target names or generator expressions.
