This updates the documentation for the CMAKE_FIND_BINARY and
CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE Autoconf macros to imitate other Autoconf macros
internal documentation style with some stylistic adjustments for
readability of the arguments.
- CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE: Links to docs are added instead of listing
compiler IDs. The 5th ($5) and 6th ($6) arguments descriptions are
updated to be action-if-found and action-if-not-found according to the
current code.
Divert LCC compiler as a new one, instead of treating it as GNU.
Since old times, Elbrus C/C++/Fortran Compiler (LCC) by MCST has been
passing checks for GNU compilers, so it has been identified as GNU.
Now, with intent of seriously upstreaming its support, it has been
added as a separate LCC compiler, and its version displays not a
supported GCC version, but LCC version itself (e.g. LCC 1.25.19 instead
of GNU 7.3.0).
This commit adds its support for detection, and also converts basically
every check like 'is this compiler GNU?' to 'is this compiler GNU or
LCC?'. The only places where this check is untouched, is where it
regards other platforms where LCC is unavailable (primarily non-Linux),
and where it REALLY differs from GNU compiler.
Note: this transition may break software that are already ported to
Elbrus, but hardly relies that LCC will be detected as GNU; still such
software is not known.
In commit beb991110d (Remove now-unused code once used on IRIX,
2019-01-11, v3.14.0-rc1~167^2) we removed remnants of IRIX support.
Also remove remnants of MIPSpro compiler support.
Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
