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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
The unknown argument warning added by commit v3.2.0-rc1~452^2
(configure_file: Warn about unknown arguments, 2014-10-31) failed to
account for options handled by the NewLineStyle member instead of
directly in the main loop. Simply whitelist them for now.

Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This commit teaches configure_file how to handle directories for input
and output. It is an error if the input is a directory. If the output
is a directory we put the configured copy of the input file in it with
the same name. See issue #9537.
The configure_file() command now converts relative output paths to full
paths using the current binary directory. Input relative paths were
already converted using the current source directory, but this behavior
was not previously documented.
- Remove CMP_0001 (no slash in target name) and restore
old CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY check for it
- Replace all checks of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
with cmLocalGenerator::NeedBackwardsCompatibility calls
- Create new CMP_0001 to determine whether or not
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY is used.
(old = use, new = ignore)
- Show CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY in cache only when
CMP_0001 is set to OLD or WARN
- Update documentation of cmake_policy and cmake_minimum_required
to indicate their relationship and the 2.4 version boundary
- When no cmake policy version is set in top level makefile
implicitly call cmake_policy(VERSION 2.4) which restores
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY and other 2.4 compatibility
- Fix tests MakeClean and Preprocess to call
cmake_policy(VERSION 2.6) because they depend on new policies
