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 changes `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` to take a `cm::string_view` as value
argument instead of a `const char *`.
Benefits are:
- `std::string` can be passed to `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` directly without
the `c_str()` plus string length recomputation fallback.
- Lengths of literals passed to `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` can be computed at
compile time.
In various sources uses of `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` are adapted to avoid
`std::string::c_str` calls and the `std::string` is passed directly.
Uses of `cmMakefile::AddDefinition`, where a `nullptr` `const char*` might
be passed to `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` are extended with `nullptr` checks.

* 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.
This commit continues the changes made in CTest to support std::chrono
by
applying it throughout every component where a duration was used.
No functional change intended.
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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.

The clang-format tool can do a good job formatting most code, but
well-organized streaming blocks are best left manually formatted.
Find blocks of the form
os <<
"...\n"
"...\n"
;
using the command
$ git ls-files -z -- Source |
egrep -v -z '^Source/kwsys/' |
xargs -0 pcregrep -M --color=always -B 1 -A 1 -n \
'<<[^\n]*\n(^ *("[^\n]*("|<<|;)$|;)\n){2,}'
Find blocks of the form
os << "...\n"
<< "...\n"
<< "...\n";
using the command
$ git ls-files -z -- Source |
egrep -v -z '^Source/kwsys/' |
xargs -0 pcregrep -M --color=always -B 1 -A 1 -n \
'<<[^\n]*\n(^ *<<[^\n]*(\\n"|<<|;)$\n){2,}'
Surround such blocks with the pair
/* clang-format off */
...
/* clang-format on */
in order to protect them from update by clang-format. Use the C-style
`/*...*/` comments instead of C++-style `//...` comments in order to
prevent them from ever being swallowed by re-formatting of surrounding
comments.
Create a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` option to specify use
of `add_library(... STATIC ...)` for the generated test project.
This will be useful for cross-compiling toolchains that cannot
link a binary without custom flags or scripts.
