One way to use clang as a cross-compiler is to create
a symlink named <target>-clang, which is equivalent to
running
clang -target <target>
Extract the toolchain prefix to find the binutils executables.
When scanning CMake module files for .rst comments, recognize
bracket comments starting in ".rst:" too. For example:
#[[.rst:
Include the bracket comment content terminated by the closing bracket.
Exclude the line containing the bracket if it starts in "#".
Teach the CMakeLib.testRST test to cover multiple bracket lengths
and ending brackets on lines with and without "#".
Update the cmake-developer.7 manual to document the bracket-comment
syntax for .rst documentation.
Teach the CMake language lexer to treat the \-LF pair terminating a
line ending in an odd number of backslashes inside a quoted argument
as a continuation. Drop the pair from the returned quoted argument
token text. This will allow long lines inside quoted argument
strings to be divided across multiple lines in the source file.
It will also allow quoted argument text to start on the line after
the opening quote. For example, the code:
set(x "\
...")
sets variable "x" to the value "..." with no opening newline.
Previously an odd number of backslashes at the end of a line inside
a quoted argument would put a \-LF pair (or a \-CR pair) literally
in the argument. Then the command-argument evaluator would complain
that the \-escape sequence is invalid. Therefore this syntax is
available to use without changing behavior of valid existing code.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover cases of quoted arguments
with lines ending in \, \\, and \\\. Odd counts are continuations.
d169b1f Genex: Use cmArraySize for targetPolicyWhitelist
86d5d80 Genex: Remove use of TransitiveWhitelistCompare
73d7705 Add some templates for cleaner array iteration.
Other warnings for the same policy already have similar output since
commit 81d2793e (Add differing target property content to policy CMP0022
warning, 2013-09-11).
Even though this variable gets set to CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER-NOTFOUND when
the compiler is not found, CMake<LANG>Compiler.cmake gets removed by
cmGlobalGenerator::EnableLanguage so in try compiles the value is empty.
Quote references to the variable in
Modules/CMake(C|CXX|Fortran)Information.cmake
Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake
to avoid dropping arguments from commands that expect them.
The cmRST implementation and the list of capabilities documented in the
cmake-developer.7 manual must be kept in sync. Add a note to each file
to reference the other.
Document how CMake uses reStructuredText to provide the help manuals.
Cover supported inline markup and directives, the CMake Domain in
Sphinx, and cross-reference syntax.
Add "Module Documentation" and "Find Modules" subsections. Add to
Modules/readme.txt a textual reference to the cmake-developer.7 manual
and, while at it, fix the wiki URL domain.
Convert the content moved from Modules/readme.txt to valid
reStructuredText markup. Mainly, convert the lists of variables to
definition lists, wrap long lines in paragraph text, and add literal
block markup and indentation.
Move all content from Modules/readme.txt except for the link to the
module maintainers wiki page into "Help/manual/cmake-developer.7.rst".
This produces some invalid reStructuredText markup to be fixed in a
future commit.
Add cmCommand::Disallowed helper to check the setting of a policy that
disallows the command. Add a RunCMake.DisallowedCommands test
placeholder. Add a Help/policy/DISALLOWED_COMMAND.txt file for
inclusion by each policy document to avoid duplication of the common
text.
