|
||||
|
||||
Changes made since CMake 3.14 include the following.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`execute_process` command gained a `COMMAND_ECHO` option
|
||||
and supporting :variable:`CMAKE_EXECUTE_PROCESS_COMMAND_ECHO` variable
|
||||
to enable echoing of the command-line string before execution.
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
* New target property :prop_tgt:`ADDITIONAL_CLEAN_FILES` and directory property
|
||||
:prop_dir:`ADDITIONAL_CLEAN_FILES` were added. They allow to register
|
||||
additional files that should be removed during the clean stage.
|
||||
Generators
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* Directory property :prop_dir:`ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES` was marked
|
||||
deprecated. The new directory property :prop_dir:`ADDITIONAL_CLEAN_FILES`
|
||||
should be used instead.
|
||||
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator now supports per-target schemes.
|
||||
See the :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_GENERATE_SCHEME` variable and
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`XCODE_GENERATE_SCHEME` target property.
|
||||
|
||||
* IBM Clang-based XL compilers that define ``__ibmxl__`` now use the
|
||||
compiler id ``XLClang`` instead of ``XL``. See policy :policy:`CMP0089`.
|
||||
* The :generator:`Green Hills MULTI` generator has been updated:
|
||||
|
||||
* :command:`add_library` command ``ALIAS`` option learned to support
|
||||
import libraries of the ``UNKNOWN`` type.
|
||||
* It now supports the :command:`add_custom_command` and
|
||||
:command:`add_custom_target` commands.
|
||||
|
||||
* AppleClang compiler have learned how to compile C++20.
|
||||
* It is now available on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for the Clang-based ARM compiler was added with compiler id ``ARMClang``.
|
||||
Languages
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* Preliminary support for the ``Swift`` language was added to the
|
||||
:generator:`Ninja` generator:
|
||||
|
||||
* Use the :envvar:`SWIFTC` environment variable to specify a compiler.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`Swift_DEPENDENCIES_FILE` target property and
|
||||
:prop_sf:`Swift_DEPENDENCIES_FILE` source file property were added
|
||||
to customize dependency files.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`Swift_MODULE_NAME` target property was added to
|
||||
customize the Swift module name.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_sf:`Swift_DIAGNOSTICS_FILE` source property was added to
|
||||
indicate where to write the serialised Swift diagnostics.
|
||||
|
||||
The Swift support is experimental, not considered stable, and may change
|
||||
in future releases of CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
Compilers
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``Clang`` compiler variant on Windows that targets the MSVC ABI
|
||||
but has a GNU-like command line is now supported.
|
||||
|
||||
* The variable :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC_RELAXED_MODE` is considered
|
||||
deprecated. Support still exists but will be removed in future versions.
|
||||
* Support for the Clang-based ARM compiler was added with compiler id
|
||||
``ARMClang``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--build`` tool ``--target`` parameter gained support for
|
||||
multiple targets, e.g. ``cmake --build . --target Library1 Library2``.
|
||||
* Support was added for the IAR compiler architectures Renesas RX,
|
||||
RL78, RH850 and Texas Instruments MSP430.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` tool now continues adding files to an
|
||||
archive, even if some of the files aren't readable. This behavior is more
|
||||
consistent with the classic ``tar`` tool.
|
||||
* Support was added for the IAR compilers built for Linux (IAR BuildLx).
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` tool now parses all flags, and if an
|
||||
invalid flag was provided, a warning is issued.
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` tool now displays an error if no action
|
||||
flag was specified, along with a list of possible actions: ``t`` (list),
|
||||
``c`` (create) or ``x`` (extract).
|
||||
Command-Line
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` tool allow for extract (``-x``) or list
|
||||
(``-t``) only specific files or directories. To select pathnames append
|
||||
a space-separated list of file names or directories.
|
||||
When extracting selected files or directories, you must provide their exact
|
||||
pathname, as printed by list (``-t``)
|
||||
* The :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` environment variable was added
|
||||
to specify a default generator to use when :manual:`cmake(1)` is
|
||||
run without a ``-G`` option. Additionally, environment variables
|
||||
:envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM`, :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET`,
|
||||
and :envvar:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` were created to configure
|
||||
the generator.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` tool now support Zstandard compression
|
||||
algorithm with ``--zstd`` option. Zstandard was designed to give
|
||||
a compression ratio comparable to that of the DEFLATE (zip) algorithm,
|
||||
but faster, especially for decompression.
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--build`` tool ``--target`` parameter gained support
|
||||
for multiple targets, e.g. ``cmake --build . --target Library1 Library2``.
|
||||
It now also has a short form ``-t`` alias, e.g.
|
||||
``cmake --build . -t Library1 Library2``.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_FRAMEWORK` variable was added to
|
||||
initialize the :prop_tgt:`FRAMEWORK` property on all
|
||||
targets.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new ``--install`` option was added to :manual:`cmake(1)`.
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` command gained a new ``--install`` option.
|
||||
This may be used after building a project to run installation without
|
||||
using the generated build system or the native build tool.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` command learned a new CLI option ``--loglevel``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E remove_directory`` command-line tool learned
|
||||
to support removing multiple directories.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` tool has been improved:
|
||||
|
||||
* It now continues adding files to an archive even if some of the files
|
||||
are not readable. This behavior is more consistent with the
|
||||
classic ``tar`` tool.
|
||||
|
||||
* It now parses all flags, and if an invalid flag was provided, a
|
||||
warning is issued.
|
||||
|
||||
* It now displays an error if no action flag was specified, along with a
|
||||
list of possible actions: ``t`` (list), ``c`` (create) or ``x`` (extract).
|
||||
|
||||
* It now supports extracting (``-x``) or listing (``-t``) only specific
|
||||
files or directories.
|
||||
|
||||
* It now supports Zstandard compression with a ``--zstd`` option.
|
||||
Zstandard was designed to give a compression ratio comparable to that
|
||||
of the DEFLATE (zip) algorithm, but faster, especially for decompression.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`add_custom_command` and :command:`add_custom_target` commands
|
||||
gained a new ``JOB_POOL`` option that works with the :generator:`Ninja`
|
||||
generator to set the pool variable on the build statement.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`add_library` command ``ALIAS`` option learned to support
|
||||
import libraries of the ``UNKNOWN`` type.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`cmake_parse_arguments` command gained an additional
|
||||
``<prefix>_KEYWORDS_MISSING_VALUES`` output variable to report
|
||||
keyword arguments that were given by the caller with no values.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``--target`` parameter gained shorter
|
||||
version ``-t``, e.g. ``cmake --build . -t Library1 Library2`` is
|
||||
equivalant to ``cmake --build . --target Library1 Library2``.
|
||||
* The :command:`execute_process` command gained a ``COMMAND_ECHO`` option
|
||||
and supporting :variable:`CMAKE_EXECUTE_PROCESS_COMMAND_ECHO` variable
|

|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_IFW_PACKAGE_STYLE_SHEET` variable to customize the
|
||||
installer stylesheet.
|
||||
* The :command:`file(INSTALL)` command learned a new argument,
|
||||
``FOLLOW_SYMLINK_CHAIN``, which can be used to recursively resolve and
|
||||
install symlinks.
|
||||
|
||||
* :command:`list` learned new sub-commands:
|
||||
``PREPEND``, ``POP_FRONT`` and ``POP_BACK``.

||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` variable and corresponding
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` target property learned to support
|
||||
arguments to the emulator.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_PREFER_CONFIG` variable was added to tell
|
||||
:command:`find_package` calls to look for a package configuration
|
||||
file first even if a find module is available.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_FRAMEWORK` variable was added to initialize the
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`FRAMEWORK` property on all targets.
|

enable the Just My Code feature of the Visual Studio Debugger when
|
||||
compiling with MSVC cl 19.05 and higher.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` variable and
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` target property were introduced to

||||
See policy :policy:`CMP0091`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE` and
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE` variables were added to allow
|
||||
injection of custom code at the sites of :command:`project` calls
|
||||
without knowing the project name a priori.
|
||||
|
||||
Properties
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`ADDITIONAL_CLEAN_FILES` target property and
|
||||
:prop_dir:`ADDITIONAL_CLEAN_FILES` directory property were added.
|
||||
They allow to register additional files that should be removed during
|
||||
the clean stage.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`PUBLIC_HEADER` and :prop_tgt:`PRIVATE_HEADER` properties
|
||||
may now be set on :ref:`Interface Libraries`. The headers specified by those
|
||||
properties can be installed using the :command:`install(TARGETS)` command by
|
||||
passing the ``PUBLIC_HEADER`` and ``PRIVATE_HEADER`` arguments respectively.
|
||||
|

to the WinCE or Windows Phone target device.
|
||||
|
||||
Modules
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindBoost` module was reworked to expose a more consistent
|
||||
user experience between its "Config" and "Module" modes and with other
|
||||
find modules in general.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new imported target ``Boost::headers`` is now defined (same
|
||||
as ``Boost::boost``).

|
||||
were added.
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``QUIET`` argument passed to :command:`find_package` is no
|
||||
longer ignored in config mode. Note that the CMake package shipped with
|
||||
Boost ``1.70.0`` ignores the ``QUIET`` argument passed to
|
||||
:command:`find_package`. This is fixed in the next Boost release.
|
||||
|
||||
* The input switch ``Boost_DETAILED_FAILURE_MSG`` was removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``Boost_VERSION`` now reports the version in ``x.y.z``
|
||||
format in module mode. See policy :policy:`CMP0093`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindCups` module now provides imported targets.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindEnvModules` module was added to use Lua- and TCL-based
|
||||
environment modules in :ref:`CTest Scripts <CTest Script>`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindGLEW` module now provides an interface more consistent
|
||||
with what upstream GLEW provides in its own CMake package files.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindPkgConfig` now populates :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS`
|
||||
property of imported targets with other (non-library) linker flags.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindPostgreSQL` module learned to find debug and release
|
||||
variants separately.
|
||||
|
||||
* Modules :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2` and :module:`FindPython`
|
||||
gained additional lookup strategies and controls, and a new default.
|
||||
See policy :policy:`CMP0094`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Modules :module:`FindPython`, :module:`FindPython2` and :module:`FindPython3`
|
||||
gain a new target (respectively ``Python::Module``, ``Python2::Module``
|
||||
and ``Python3::Module``) which can be used to develop Python modules.
|
||||
|
||||
* Modules :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2` and :module:`FindPython`
|
||||
gain capability to control how virtual environments are handled.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`UseSWIG` module learned to manage alternate library names
|
||||
by passing ``-interface <library_name>`` for ``python`` language or
|
||||
``-dllimport <library_name>`` for ``CSharp`` language to the ``SWIG``
|
||||
compiler.

|
||||
:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` were added.
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``$<COMPILE_LANG_AND_ID:...>`` generator expression was introduced to
|
||||
allow specification of compile options for target files based on the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID` and :prop_sf:`LANGUAGE` of
|
||||
each source file.
|
||||
|
||||
* A ``$<FILTER:list,INCLUDE|EXCLUDE,regex>``

|
||||
CTest
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`ctest_submit` command learned a new option: ``BUILD_ID``.

* The :command:`file(REMOVE)` and :command:`file(REMOVE_RECURSE)` commands
|
||||
were changed to ignore empty arguments with a warning instead of treating
|
||||
them as a relative path and removing the contents of the current directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindBoost` module was reworked to expose a more
|
||||
consistent user experience between its config and module modes
|
||||
and with other find modules in general.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new imported target ``Boost::headers`` is now defined (same

|
||||
leveraged by turning on the :prop_tgt:`VS_JUST_MY_CODE_DEBUGGING` target
|
||||
property. Its default value is provided by the variable
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_VS_JUST_MY_CODE_DEBUGGING`.
