Add a role that can be used to create local links (a la '`LINK`_'), but
that also applies literal style. This is particularly useful for
referring to subcommands within the command's documentation in a style
that is consistent with ':command:`BAR <foo(BAR)>`' but is much less
verbose.
Although this is intended for subcommands, it works with any local
reference.

Split the genex directive into its own class, allowing a slight
simplification of CMakeObject. Add ability to specify an explicit target
name for the same.
Use this to provide a target for the `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop>` generator
expression which is otherwise missing one (due to overlap with
`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop>`). With this one can write:
:genex:`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> <TARGET_PROPERTY:prop>`
to link the second variant.
Fixes: #24573
Implement logic to support several styles of parsing in the new
signature directive that control where line breaks are allowed in a
signature.
The default is 'smart', which forbids breaks inside of square- or
angle-brackets. The 'verbatim' option forbids all breaks. In all cases,
breaks are always allowed where a newline appears in the source.
This seems to Just Work for most writers, but HTML needs some special
handling that is accomplished by a new CSS rule and assigning the 'nbsp'
class to spaces that are not allowed to break. (ROFF's line wrapping is
rather unfortunate here, as it prefers splitting and hyphenating words
rather than breaking at a space.)
Add signatures to the collection of observed objects (which can be
referenced elsewhere). Don't automatically strip parameters from a
:command: reference, as these may now link signatures. (Do, however,
munge them into 'text <ref>' form if they aren't already, as not doing
so adds an extra '()' for some reason.) Correspondingly, change xref
resolution to try to match 'command' when a ref like 'command(args)' is
not matched, so that existing links to commands that have not been
converted to use the new signature directive don't immediately break.
Add a `signature` directive to offer a CMake version of Sphinx's
`function` directive, similar to that found in other domains (py, cpp,
etc.). Like others, this takes one or more signatures as arguments and
creates dt/dd nodes from the signatures and the directive contents.
This makes `versionadded` and `versionchanged` directives show up in
`cmake --help-*` output instead of disappearing (and potentially making
empty sections).
Fixes: #22808
This enables cross-reference syntax for CMake generator expressions:
:genex:`SOME_GENEX`
:genex:`$<SOME_GENEX>`
:genex:`$<SOME_GENEX:...>`
and definition of CMake generator expressions via a directive:
.. genex:: SOME_GENEX
.. genex:: $<SOME_GENEX>
.. genex:: $<SOME_GENEX:...>
It also adds generator expressions defined by the directive and by
`Help/genex/SOME_GENEX.rst` documents to the index.
This was accidentally left out of commit 8acf46caf1 (Utilities/Sphinx:
Add role and directive for 'envvar' in CMake domain, 2018-04-19,
v3.12.0-rc1~200^2~1).
Remove this content from the `cmake-developer(7)` manual because it
is relevant only to developers working on CMake itself. Move it to
a guide in the developer documentation.
