The value of `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` is computed by Visual Studio
generators based on `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` or some default.
Prior to the VS 2019 generator, the default was always `Win32`.
However, for the `Visual Studio 16 2019` generator, the default is
based on the host platform.
Store the default in a new `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME_DEFAULT` variable for
use by project code. This is particularly useful in toolchain files
because they are allowed to set `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` and so
`CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` is not yet known. Of course the toolchain file
author knows whether it will set `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM`, and if not
then `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME_DEFAULT` provides the platform name that
will be used.
Fixes: #19177
Add this generator *without* support for specifying the target
architecture in the generator name. cmake-gui will be taught
to provide a field for this, and command-line builds can use -A.
Also, teach this generator to select a default target architecture
based on the host architecture.

Make the constructors protected since they should be produced through
factories. Also rename `platform{ => InGenerator}Name` to clarify
the meaning of the argument.
We now require C++11 support including `override`. Drop use of
the old compatibility macro. Convert references as follows:
git grep -l CM_OVERRIDE -- '*.h' '*.hxx' '*.cxx' |
xargs sed -i 's/CM_OVERRIDE/override/g'
Since commit v3.9.0-rc4~4^2 (Vs: allow CSharp targets to be linked to
CXX targets, 2017-06-20) CSharp targets get `ProjectReference` entries
to their dependencies. This causes VS to also reference the
dependency's output assembly by default, which is incorrect for
non-managed targets.
Fix this by setting `ReferenceOutputAssembly` to `false` for targets
that can't provide output assemblies. Unmanaged C++ targets (shared
libs & executables) can still be referenced and a warning will be shown
in the IDE but the build will not break anymore.
Fixes: #17172
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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Call the generator "Visual Studio 15" without any year because the
preview version of VS 15 does not provide a year in the product name.
Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio14Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio15Generator
and update version numbers accordingly. Add the VS15 enumeration value.
Note that we do not need to add a MSVC15 variable or v150 toolset
because Visual Studio 15 comes with an updated version of the v140
toolset and remains ABI-compatible.
Teach tests VSExternalInclude, RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform, and
RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 15 as they do VS 10-14.
Closes: #16143
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.

Add a `VS_STARTUP_PROJECT` directory property to specify the project
that should be placed first in the `.sln` file so that it will be
selected as the default startup project.

Refactor cmGlobalVisualStudioGenerator::TargetCompare to store the name of
the target that should come first instead of hard-coding "ALL_BUILD".
Update client sites to specify "ALL_BUILD" when ordering for .sln files
and an empty string otherwise (in cases when "ALL_BUILD" should not be
encountered anyway).

We never implemented them for VS 11 (2012), 12 (2013), or 14 (2015).
For VS 10 (2010) the reload macro does not work correctly when run from
inside a build launched through the IDE because stopping the build kills
the CMake that is driving the reload. Fortunately VS >= 10 know how to
reload the whole solution anyway.
Make the virtual 'Generate' method protected. Make 'DoGenerate'
the main entry point to generation. This gives cmGlobalGenerator
a chance to do some early operations before the individual
generator-specific implementations take over.
Remove the general infrastructure for these additional platform
definitions and hard-code the only two special cases that used
it. They are only for historical reasons so no new such cases
should be added.
Implement it in terms of the ComputeObjectFilenames virtual method
on the local generators.
Remove the reimplementation from the global generators which are
now all functionally identical.
