|
||||
|
||||
Changes made since CMake 3.8 include the following.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`add_custom_command` command learned to evaluate the
|
||||
``TARGET_OBJECTS``
|
||||
:manual:`generator expression <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
Languages
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* ``CUDA`` is now supported by the :ref:`Visual Studio Generators`
|
||||
for VS 2010 and above. This complements the existing support by the
|
||||
:ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator.
|
||||
|
||||
Generators
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above learned to support
|
||||
the ``ASM_NASM`` language when ``nasm`` is installed.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator learned to create Xcode schema files.
|
||||
This is an experimental feature and can be activated by setting the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_GENERATE_SCHEME` variable to a ``TRUE`` value.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`add_library` command ``IMPORTED`` option learned to support
|
||||
:ref:`Object Libraries`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The new target property :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_BUILD_DIR` was introduced which
|
||||
allows to set a custom output directory for
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`, :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` and :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC`.
|
||||
* All ``find_`` commands now have a ``PACKAGE_ROOT`` search path group that
|
||||
is first in the search heuristics. If a ``find_`` command is called from
|
||||
inside a find module, then the CMake variable and environment variable named
|
||||
``<PackageName>_ROOT`` are used as prefixes and are the first set of paths
|
||||
to be searched.
|
||||
|
||||
* Variable :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS` was introduced to
|
||||
* The :command:`find_library` command learned to search ``libx32`` paths
|
||||
when the build targets the ``x32`` ABI. See the
|
||||
:prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIBX32_PATHS` global property.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`include_external_msproject` command learned to use
|
||||
the :prop_tgt:`MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>` target property
|
||||
to map current configurations to the external configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`install(TARGETS)` command learned a new ``OBJECTS`` option to
|
||||
specify where to install :ref:`Object Libraries`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`install(EXPORT)` command learned how to export
|
||||
:ref:`Object Libraries`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`project` command learned an optional ``DESCRIPTION``
|
||||
parameter to set the :variable:`PROJECT_DESCRIPTION` variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`separate_arguments` command gained a ``NATIVE_COMMAND`` mode
|
||||
that performs argument separation depending on the host operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
Variables
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS` variable was introduced to
|
||||
allow :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC` to extract additional dependency file names
|
||||
for ``moc`` from the contents of source files.
|
||||
|
||||
* The new target property :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS` was introduced to
|
||||
allow :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` to extract additional dependency file names
|
||||
for ``moc`` from the contents of source files.
|
||||
|
||||
* When using :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`, CMake scans for the presence of the
|
||||
``Q_PLUGIN_METADATA`` macro and reruns moc when the file from the
|
||||
macro's ``FILE`` argument changes.
|
||||
|
||||
* When :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` detects an include statement of the form
|
||||
``#include "moc_<basename>.cpp"`` the respective header file is searched
|
||||
for in the :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` of the target as well.
|
||||
|
||||
* Global properties :prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_SOURCE_GROUP`,
|
||||
:prop_gbl:`AUTOMOC_SOURCE_GROUP` and
|
||||
:prop_gbl:`AUTORCC_SOURCE_GROUP` were
|
||||
introduced to allow files generated by :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` to be placed in a :command:`source_group`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Variable :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS` was introduced to
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS` variable was introduced to
|
||||
allow :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOUIC` to search for ``foo.ui`` in more
|
||||
places than the vicinity of the ``ui_foo.h`` including file.
|
||||
places than the vicinity of the file including ``ui_foo.h``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The new target property :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS` was introduced to
|
||||
allow :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` to search for ``foo.ui`` in more
|
||||
places than the vicinity of the ``ui_foo.h`` including file.
|
||||
|
||||
* Two new informational generator expressions to retrieve Apple Bundle
|
||||
directories have been added. The first one ``$<TARGET_BUNDLE_DIR:tgt>``
|
||||
outputs the full path to the Bundle directory, the other one
|
||||
``$<TARGET_BUNDLE_CONTENT_DIR:tgt>`` outputs the full path to the
|
||||
``Contents`` directory of macOS Bundles and App Bundles. For all other
|
||||
bundle types and SDKs it is identical with ``$<TARGET_BUNDLE_DIR:tgt>``.
|
||||
|
||||
Those new expressions are helpful to query Bundle locations independent of
|
||||
the different Bundle types and layouts on macOS and iOS.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :module:`CheckIPOSupported` module was added to help projects
|
||||
check whether interprocedural optimization (IPO) is supported by
|
||||
the current toolchain and CMake version.
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX` variable was added to
|
||||
tell the :command:`find_library` command to search in a ``lib<suffix>``
|
||||
directory before each ``lib`` directory that would normally be searched.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` variable was added to
|
||||
initialize the :prop_tgt:`INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` property on all
|
||||
targets.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator got the ability to create schema files.
|
||||
This is still an experimental feature and can be activated by setting the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_GENERATE_SCHEME` variable to a ``TRUE`` value.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_AR` variable was added to hold
|
||||
the path to the GCC/Clang wrapper of ``ar``.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_RANLIB` variable was added to hold
|
||||
the path to the GCC/Clang wrapper of ``ranlib``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackArchive` module learned to modify filename per component.
|
||||
See :variable:`CPACK_ARCHIVE_FILE_NAME` variable and its per component
|
||||
version.
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT_COMPILE` and :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT_LINK`
|
||||
variables were added to use separate sysroots for compiling and linking.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component` and
|
||||
:command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component_group` commands gained a
|
||||
internationalization support for ``DISPLAY_NAME`` and ``DESCRIPTION`` options
|
||||
to more specific configuration.
|
||||
Properties
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackIFW` module learned the new hint :variable:`CPACK_IFW_ROOT`
|
||||
variable for finding the QtIFW tool suite installed in a non-standard place.
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackIFW` module tries to find and use QtIFW tools of the `3.0`
|
||||
and `3.1` versions.
|
||||
* A new :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_BUILD_DIR` target property was introduced to set
|
||||
a custom output directory for :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`, :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC`,
|
||||
and :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to modify debuginfo package name.
|
||||
See :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_FILE_NAME` variable.
|
||||
* A new :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS` target property was introduced to
|
||||
allow :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` to extract additional dependency file names
|
||||
for ``moc`` from the contents of source files.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :prop_test:`DISABLED` test property was added to mark tests that
|
||||
are configured but explicitly disabled so they do not run.
|
||||
* A new :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS` target property was introduced to
|
||||
allow :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` to search for ``foo.ui`` in more
|
||||
places than the vicinity of the file including ``ui_foo.h``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`ctest_submit` command gained a ``HTTPHEADER`` option
|
||||
to specify custom headers to send during submission.
|
||||
* Global properties :prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_SOURCE_GROUP`,
|
||||
:prop_gbl:`AUTOMOC_SOURCE_GROUP` and
|
||||
:prop_gbl:`AUTORCC_SOURCE_GROUP` were
|
||||
introduced to allow files generated by :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` to be placed in a :command:`source_group`.
|
||||
|
||||
* When running tests, CTest learned to treat skipped tests (using the
|
||||
:prop_test:`SKIP_RETURN_CODE` property) the same as tests with the
|
||||
:prop_test:`DISABLED` property. Due to this change, CTest will not indicate
|
||||
failure when all tests are either skipped or pass.
|
||||
* A :prop_tgt:`BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_NAME_DIR` target property and corresponding
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_NAME_DIR` variable were added to
|
||||
control whether to use the :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_NAME_DIR` target property
|
||||
value for binaries in the build tree. This is for macOS ``install_name``
|
||||
as :prop_tgt:`BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH` is for ``RPATH``.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``CUDA`` is now supported by the :ref:`Visual Studio Generators`
|
||||
for VS 2010 and above.
|
||||
* A :prop_tgt:`CUDA_PTX_COMPILATION` target property was added to
|
||||
:ref:`Object Libraries` to support compiling to ``.ptx`` files
|
||||
instead of host object files.
|
||||
|
||||
* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policies ``CMP0036``
|
||||
and below. The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the
|
||||
OLD behaviors of all policies are deprecated and that projects should
|
||||
port to the NEW behaviors.
|
||||
* A :prop_gbl:`GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG` global property was
|
||||
added to determine whether the current generator is a multi-configuration
|
||||
generator (such as :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` or :generator:`Xcode`).
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` target property is now enforced
|
||||
when enabled. CMake will add IPO flags unconditionally or produce an error
|
||||
if it does not know the flags for the current compiler. The project is now
|
||||
responsible to use the :module:`CheckIPOSupported` module to check for IPO
|
||||
support before enabling the target property. See policy :policy:`CMP0069`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` target property may now
|
||||
be used in combination with explicit ``.def`` files in order to
|
||||
export all symbols from the object files within a target plus
|
||||
an explicit list of symbols that the linker finds in dependencies
|
||||
(e.g. ``msvcrt.lib``).
|
||||
|
||||
Modules
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* A :module:`CheckIPOSupported` module was added to help projects
|
||||
check whether interprocedural optimization (IPO) is supported by
|
||||
the current toolchain and CMake version.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FeatureSummary` module :command:`feature_summary` command now
|
||||
accepts the new ``DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION`` option that will print the default
|
||||
title for the selected package type.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FeatureSummary` module gained a new
|
||||
:variable:`FeatureSummary_<TYPE>_DESCRIPTION` variable that can be defined
|
||||
for each ``<TYPE>`` to replace the type name with the specified string
|
||||
whenever the package type is used in an output string by the module.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindDoxygen` module learned to control Doxygen behavior using
|
||||
CMake variables and generate documentation via the newly added
|
||||
:command:`doxygen_add_docs` function. The Doxygen input file (``Doxyfile``)
|
||||
is automatically generated and doxygen is run as part of a custom target.
|
||||
A number of doxygen-related variables have been deprecated. Additional
|
||||
components can be specified to find optional tools: ``dot``, ``mscgen``
|
||||
and ``dia``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`CUDA_PTX_COMPILATION` target property was added to
|
||||
:ref:`Object Libraries` to support compiling to ``.ptx`` files
|
||||
instead of host object files.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`ctest(1)` executable gained new options which allow the
|
||||
developer to disable automatically adding tests to the test set to satisfy
|
||||
fixture dependencies. ``-FS`` prevents adding setup tests for fixtures
|
||||
matching the provided regular expression, ``-FC`` prevents adding cleanup
|
||||
tests for matching fixtures and ``-FA`` prevents adding any test for matching
|
||||
fixtures.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new :module:`GoogleTest` module was added to provide the
|
||||
:command:`gtest_add_tests` function independently of the :module:`FindGTest`
|
||||
module. The function was also updated to support keyword arguments, with
|
||||
functionality expanded to allow a test name prefix and suffix to be
|
||||
specified, the dependency on the source files to be optional and the list of
|
||||
discovered test cases to be returned to the caller.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`feature_summary` command in the :module:`FeatureSummary` module
|
||||
accepts the new ``DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION`` option that will print the default
|
||||
title for the selected package type.
|
||||
|
||||
* The global property :variable:`FeatureSummary_<TYPE>_DESCRIPTION` can be
|
||||
defined for each ``<TYPE>`` to replace the type name with the specified string
|
||||
whenever the package type is used in an output string by the
|
||||
:module:`FeatureSummary` module.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`file(GENERATE)` subcommand learned to evaluate the
|
||||
``TARGET_OBJECTS``
|
||||
:manual:`generator expression <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX` variable was added to
|
||||
tell the :command:`find_library` command to search in a ``lib<suffix>``
|
||||
directory before each ``lib`` directory that would normally be searched.
|
||||
Additional components can be specified to find optional tools: ``dot``,
|
||||
``mscgen`` and ``dia``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindMPI` module now provides imported targets.

|
||||
@ -167,105 +169,136 @@ Changes made since CMake 3.8 include the following.
|
||||
* The :module:`FindProtobuf` module now provides imported targets
|
||||
when the libraries are found.
|
||||
|
||||
* Interprocedural optimization (IPO) is now supported for GNU
|
||||
compilers using link time optimization (LTO) flags. See the
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` target property and
|
||||
:module:`CheckIPOSupported` module.
|
||||
* A new :module:`GoogleTest` module was added to provide the
|
||||
:command:`gtest_add_tests` function independently of the :module:`FindGTest`
|
||||
module. The function was also updated to support keyword arguments, with

|
||||
* The :command:`include_external_msproject` command learned to use
|
||||
the :prop_tgt:`MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_<CONFIG>` target property
|
||||
to map current configurations to the external configurations.
|
||||
CTest
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
* A :prop_tgt:`BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_NAME_DIR` target property and corresponding
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_NAME_DIR` variable were added to
|
||||
control whether to use the :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_NAME_DIR` target property
|
||||
value for binaries in the build tree. This is for macOS ``install_name``
|
||||
as :prop_tgt:`BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH` is for ``RPATH``.
|
||||
* The :command:`ctest_submit` command gained a ``HTTPHEADER`` option
|
||||
to specify custom headers to send during submission.
|
||||
|
||||
* On macOS, ``RPATH`` settings such as :prop_tgt:`BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH`
|
||||
no longer affect the ``install_name`` field. See policy :policy:`CMP0068`.
|
||||
* The :manual:`ctest(1)` executable gained new options which allow the

* The :command:`install(TARGETS)` command learned a new ``OBJECTS`` option to
|
||||
specify where to install :ref:`Object Libraries`.
|
||||
* A :prop_test:`DISABLED` test property was added to mark tests that
|
||||
are configured but explicitly disabled so they do not run.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`install(EXPORT)` command learned how to export
|
||||
:ref:`Object Libraries`.
|

CPack
|

-----
|
||||
|

* The :prop_tgt:`INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` target property is now enforced
|

when enabled. CMake will add IPO flags unconditionally or produce an error
|

support before enabling the target property. See policy :policy:`CMP0069`.
|
||||
|
||||
* On macOS the default application bundle ``Info.plist`` file now enables
|
||||
Hi-DPI support.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` target property may now
|
||||
be used in combination with explicit ``.def`` files in order to
|
||||
export all symbols from the object files within a target plus
|
||||
an explicit list of symbols that the linker finds in dependencies
|
||||
(e.g. ``msvcrt.lib``).
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Ninja` generator has loosened dependencies on object
|
||||
compilation to depend on the custom targets and commands of dependent
|
||||
libraries instead of the libraries themselves. This helps projects with deep
|
||||
dependency graphs to be blocked only on their link steps at the deeper
|
||||
levels rather than also blocking object compilation on dependent link steps.
|
||||
|
||||
* All ``find_`` commands now have a `PACKAGE_ROOT` search path group that is
|

first in the search heuristics. If the ``find_`` command is called from
|
||||
inside a find module, then the CMake and environment variables
|
||||
``<PackageName>_ROOT`` are used as prefixes and are the first set of paths
|
||||
that are searched.
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackArchive` module learned to modify the filename
|
||||
per-component. See the :variable:`CPACK_ARCHIVE_FILE_NAME` variable and
|
||||
its per-component version :variable:`CPACK_ARCHIVE_<component>_FILE_NAME`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackComponent` module :command:`cpack_add_component` command
|
||||
gained a new ``PLIST <filename>`` option to specify the ``pkgbuild``
|
||||
``--component-plist`` argument when using the
|
||||
:module:`productbuild <CPackProductBuild>` generator.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackIFW` module :command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component` and
|
||||
:command:`cpack_ifw_configure_component_group` commands gained
|
||||
internationalization support for ``DISPLAY_NAME`` and ``DESCRIPTION``
|
||||
options.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackIFW` module learned the new hint :variable:`CPACK_IFW_ROOT`
|
||||
variable for finding the QtIFW tool suite installed in a non-standard place.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackProductBuild` module gained a new
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_RESOURCES_DIR` variable to
|
||||
specify resources to be copied into the ``Resources``
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`project` command learned an optional ``DESCRIPTION`` parameter.
|
||||
See :command:`project` command and :variable:`PROJECT_DESCRIPTION` variable.
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to modify the ``debuginfo`` package
|
||||
name. See the :variable:`CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_FILE_NAME` variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :prop_gbl:`GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG` global property was
|
||||
added to determine whether the current generator is a multi-configuration
|
||||
generator (such as :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` or :generator:`Xcode`).
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003` generator has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator dropped support for Xcode versions
|
||||
older than 3.
|
||||
|
||||
* A ``NATIVE_COMMAND`` mode was added to :command:`separate_arguments`
|
||||
performing argument separation depening on the host operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT_COMPILE` and :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT_LINK`
|
||||
variables were added to use separate sysroots for compiling and linking.
|
||||
|
||||
* The version of curl bundled with CMake no longer accepts URLs of the form
|
||||
``file://c:/...`` on Windows due to a change in upstream curl 7.52. Use
|
||||
the form ``file:///c:/...`` instead to work on all versions.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 8 2005` generator is now deprecated
|
||||
and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above learned to support
|
||||
the ``ASM_NASM`` language when ``nasm`` is installed.
|
||||
|
||||
* The patching system within the :module:`CPackWIX` module now allows the
|
||||
ability to set additional attributes. This can be done by specifying
|
||||
addional attributes with the ``CPackWiXFragment`` XML tag after the
|
||||
``Id`` attribute. See the :variable:`CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE` variable.
|
||||
* The :module:`CPackWIX` module patching system now has the ability to set
|
||||
additional attributes. This can be done by specifying attributes with
|
||||
the ``CPackWiXFragment`` XML tag after the ``Id`` attribute.
|
||||
See the :variable:`CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE` variable.
|
||||
|
||||
* The CPack WIX generator implemented a new
|
||||
:variable:`CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FOLDER_ID` variable which allows
|
||||
using a custom root folder ID instead of the default
|
||||
``ProgramFilesFolder`` / ``ProgramFiles64Folder``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`find_library` command learned to search ``libx32`` paths
|
||||
when the build targets the ``x32`` ABI. See the
|
||||
:prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIBX32_PATHS` global property.
|
||||
Other
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
* Interprocedural optimization (IPO) is now supported for GNU and Clang
|
||||
compilers using link time optimization (LTO) flags. See the
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` target property and
|
||||
:module:`CheckIPOSupported` module.
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``TARGET_OBJECTS``
|
||||
:manual:`generator expression <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`
|
||||
is now supported by the :command:`add_custom_command` and
|
||||
:command:`file(GENERATE)` commands.
|
||||
|
||||
* Two new informational generator expressions to retrieve Apple Bundle
|
||||
directories have been added. The first one ``$<TARGET_BUNDLE_DIR:tgt>``
|
||||
outputs the full path to the Bundle directory, the other one
|
||||
``$<TARGET_BUNDLE_CONTENT_DIR:tgt>`` outputs the full path to the
|
||||
``Contents`` directory of macOS Bundles and App Bundles. For all other
|
||||
bundle types and SDKs it is identical with ``$<TARGET_BUNDLE_DIR:tgt>``.
|
||||
The new expressions are helpful to query Bundle locations independent of
|
||||
the different Bundle types and layouts on macOS and iOS.
|
||||
|
||||
Deprecated and Removed Features
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policies ``CMP0036``
|
||||
and below. The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the
|
||||
OLD behaviors of all policies are deprecated and that projects should
|
||||
always port to the NEW behaviors as soon as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 8 2005` generator is now deprecated
|
||||
and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003` generator has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator dropped support for Xcode versions
|
||||
older than 3.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindDoxygen` module has deprecated several variables.
|
||||
|
||||
* The version of curl bundled with CMake no longer accepts URLs of the form
|
||||
``file://c:/...`` on Windows due to a change in upstream curl 7.52. Use
|
||||
the form ``file:///c:/...`` instead to work on all versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Changes
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
* When using :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`, CMake now scans for the presence of the
|
||||
``Q_PLUGIN_METADATA`` macro and reruns moc when the file from the
|
||||
macro's ``FILE`` argument changes.
|
||||
|
||||
* When :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` detects an include statement of the form
|
||||
``#include "moc_<basename>.cpp"`` the search for the respective header file
|
||||
now looks in the :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` of the target as well.
|
||||
|
||||
* When running tests, CTest learned to treat skipped tests (using the
|
||||
:prop_test:`SKIP_RETURN_CODE` property) the same as tests with the new
|
||||
:prop_test:`DISABLED` property. Due to this change, CTest will not indicate
|
||||
failure when all tests are either skipped or pass.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Ninja` generator has loosened the dependencies of object
|
||||
compilation. Object compilation now depends only on custom targets
|
||||
and custom commands associated with libraries on which the object's target
|
||||
depends and no longer depends on the libraries themselves. Source files
|
||||
in dependent targets may now compile without waiting for their targets'
|
||||
dependencies to link.
|
||||
|
||||
* On macOS, the default application bundle ``Info.plist`` file now enables
|
||||
Hi-DPI support.
|
||||
|
||||
* On macOS, ``RPATH`` settings such as :prop_tgt:`BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH`
|
||||
no longer affect the ``install_name`` field. See policy :policy:`CMP0068`.
