Provide a standardized way to handle the C++ "standard" headers
customized to be used with current CMake C++ standard constraints.
Offer under directory `cm` headers which can be used as direct
replacements of the standard ones. For example:
#include <cm/string_view>
can be used safely for CMake development in place of the `<string_view>`
standard header.
Fixes: #19491
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 adds the following functions to cmStringAlgorithms:
- `cmStrToLong`: moved from `cmSystemTools::StringToLong`
- `cmStrToULong`: moved from `cmSystemTools::StringToULong`
Overloads of the given functions for `std::string` are added as well.
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.
An old workaround for `std::allocator_traits<>::value_type` lints from
IWYU on `std::vector<>` usage breaks IWYU's handling of `<memory>`.
Convert the workaround to use the same approach we already use for a
workaround of `std::__decay_and_strip<>::::__type` lints. Then update
the `<memory>` inclusions to follow the now-correct IWYU lints.
Run the `clang-format.bash` script to update all our C and C++ code to a
new style defined by `.clang-format`. Use `clang-format` version 6.0.

When `string(REGEX REPLACE)` or `string(REGEX MATCHALL)` loop
internally, they store their matches, but they do not clear the previous
match from an earlier iteration. This can leave the contents of
`CMAKE_MATCH_<N>` with bogus values for later matches in the string if
they have groups which earlier matched a non-empty string, but now match
an empty string.
Fixes#17079.
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.
Replace use of cmsys::auto_ptr with a CM_AUTO_PTR macro that maps to
our own implementation adopted from the KWSys auto_ptr implementation.
Later we may be able to map CM_AUTO_PTR to std::auto_ptr on compilers
that do not warn about it.
Automate the client site conversions:
git grep -l auto_ptr -- Source/ | grep -v Source/kwsys/ | xargs sed -i \
's|cmsys::auto_ptr|CM_AUTO_PTR|;s|cmsys/auto_ptr.hxx|cm_auto_ptr.hxx|'
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.

Sort include directives within each block (separated by a blank line) in
lexicographic order (except to prioritize `sys/types.h` first). First
run `clang-format` with the config file:
---
SortIncludes: false
...
Commit the result temporarily. Then run `clang-format` again with:
---
SortIncludes: true
IncludeCategories:
- Regex: 'sys/types.h'
Priority: -1
...
Commit the result temporarily. Start a new branch and cherry-pick the
second commit. Manually resolve conflicts to preserve indentation of
re-ordered includes. This cleans up the include ordering without
changing any other style.
Use the following command to run `clang-format`:
$ git ls-files -z -- \
'*.c' '*.cc' '*.cpp' '*.cxx' '*.h' '*.hh' '*.hpp' '*.hxx' |
egrep -z -v '(Lexer|Parser|ParserHelper)\.' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/cm_sha2' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/(kwsys|CursesDialog/form)/' |
egrep -z -v '^Utilities/(KW|cm).*/' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/Module/GenerateExportHeader' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/RunCMake/CommandLine/cmake_depends/test_UTF-16LE.h' |
xargs -0 clang-format -i
This selects source files that do not come from a third-party.
