To handle safely the values used by CMake variables and properties,
introduce the class cmProp as a replacement from the simple pointer
to std::string instance.
Under the CMP0118 NEW behavior, sources generated in one directory
should be visible when added to targets in other directories. This was
accidentally left out of commit 6624b65b3f (GENERATED prop: Add
implementation for policy CMP0118 being set to NEW, 2020-11-09,
v3.20.0-rc1~393^2~1).
Fixes: #18399
* Adding implementation for policy CMP0118 being set to `NEW`.
* Adding new tests for policy CMP0118 being set to `NEW`.
* Checking the `GENERATED` property with `get_source_file_property` or
`get_property` now always returns exactly `1` or `0`. No other values
will be returned. Note, that this is a backwards-incompatible change,
even when policy CMP0118 is unset or set to `OLD`.
* Additionally, as `get_source_file_property` and `get_property` now
always check if a source-file was marked globally visible, even when
CMP0118 is unset or set to `OLD`, they possibly return `1` where they
might have returned `0` before the changes introduced by this commit.
Note, that this is a backwards-incompatible change, even when policy
CMP0118 is unset or set to `OLD`.
* As a consequence, the tests for policy CMP0118 being unset or set to
`OLD` got slightly adjusted, too, to reflect these changes in
behavior.
Currently properties are usually stored internally as `std::string`.
However, family of GetProperty() functions return them as `const char *` using `c_str()`.
The proposed `cmProp`, typedef'ed as `const std::string *` will expose properties
more naturally.
the copies in `cmSourceFile::FindFullPath` are one of the hotspots of
my build system: we can easily avoid them by capturing by reference
instead of by value
Manipulating the property map of cmSourceFile directly may invalidate the class
invariant of the cached value IsGenerated. Provide the setter SetProperties
which also updates IsGenerated.
- Remove the special case from cmGetSourceFilePropertyCommand
Tests: check LANGUAGE for source file
- use target_sources to add file
- use get_property to read property value
GetOrDetermineLanguage:
- Read the property if available
- Determine the Language using the file extension
Fix all usage of the non-const member in the repository.
This patch is generated by a python script that uses regular expressions to
search for string concatenation patterns of the kind
```
std::string str = <ARG0>;
str += <ARG1>;
str += <ARG2>;
...
```
and replaces them with a single `cmStrCat` call
```
std::string str = cmStrCat(<ARG0>, <ARG1>, <ARG2>, ...);
```
If any `<ARGX>` is itself a concatenated string of the kind
```
a + b + c + ...;
```
then `<ARGX>` is split into multiple arguments for the `cmStrCat` call.
If there's a sequence of literals in the `<ARGX>`, then all literals in the
sequence are concatenated and merged into a single literal argument for
the `cmStrCat` call.
Single character strings are converted to single char arguments for
the `cmStrCat` call.
`std::to_string(...)` wrappings are removed from `cmStrCat` arguments,
because it supports numeric types as well as string types.
`arg.substr(x)` arguments to `cmStrCat` are replaced with
`cm::string_view(arg).substr(x)`
This replaces invocations of
- `cmSystemTools::IsInternallyOn` with `cmIsInternallyOn`
- `cmSystemTools::IsNOTFOUND` with `cmIsNOTFOUND`
- `cmSystemTools::IsOn` with `cmIsOn`
- `cmSystemTools::IsOff` with `cmIsOff`
In `cmSourceFile::FindFullPath` check first if the file is GENERATED before
aborting on `FindFullPathFailed`. This allows recomputation of the full path
when the GENERATED property was set after the file path was computed with an
error.
All cmSourceFiles are checked at least once whether they're `GENERATED` or not.
This adds a convenience method `GetIsGenerated` that returns a private
boolean cache variable `IsGenerated`. `IsGenerated` is updated every time the
`GENERATED` property is written.
* Change some functions to take `std::string` instead of
`const char*` in the following classes: `cmMakeFile`, `cmake`,
`cmCoreTryCompile`, `cmSystemTools`, `cmState`, `cmLocalGenerator`
and a few others.
* Greatly reduce using of `const char*` overloads for
`cmSystemTools::MakeDirectory` and `cmSystemTools::RelativePath`.
* Remove many redundant `c_str()` conversions throughout the code.
The ambiguous extension logic is an old behavior that ends up taking
lots of extra compute cycles to execute. This is triggered by various
CMake codepaths which pass extension-less paths down when CMake actually
knows that they are not ambiguous. These codepaths will be indicated in
upcoming changes.
Various APIs have gained a cmSourceFileLocationKind parameter, but they
are all optional and default to the existing behavior.
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.
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.
