|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Changes made since CMake 3.2 include the following.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+New Features
|
|
|
+============
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Generators
|
|
|
+----------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :ref:`Makefile Generators` now add ``.DELETE_ON_ERROR`` to the
|
|
|
+ makefiles that contain the actual build rules for files on disk.
|
|
|
+ This tells GNU make to remove rule outputs when their recipe
|
|
|
+ modifies an output but fails.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` learned to support ``.xaml``
|
|
|
+ source files and automatically associate them with corresponding
|
|
|
+ ``.h`` and ``.cpp`` sources.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* A new experimental :generator:`Green Hills MULTI` generator was
|
|
|
+ added on Windows. `Green Hills MULTI`_ is an IDE for embedded
|
|
|
+ real-time systems.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. _`Green Hills MULTI`: http://www.ghs.com/products/MULTI_IDE.html
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Commands
|
|
|
+--------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`add_dependencies` command learned to allow dependencies
|
|
|
+ to be added to :ref:`interface libraries <Interface Libraries>`.
|
|
|
+ Dependencies added to an interface library are followed transitively
|
|
|
+ in its place since the target itself does not build.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`execute_process` command learned to support specifying
|
|
|
+ the same file for ``OUTPUT_FILE`` and ``ERROR_FILE``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`file(GLOB)` and :command:`file(GLOB_RECURSE)` commands
|
|
|
+ learned a new ``LIST_DIRECTORIES <bool>`` option to specify whether
|
|
|
+ the glob result should include directories.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`find_library`, :command:`find_path`, and :command:`find_file`
|
|
|
+ commands now search in installation prefixes derived from the ``PATH``
|
|
|
+ environment variable.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`if` command learned a new ``IN_LIST`` operator that
|
|
|
+ evaluates to true if a given element is contained in a named list.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`install(EXPORT)` and :command:`export()` commands
|
|
|
+ learned to export targets that populate the :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_SOURCES`
|
|
|
+ target property.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`install(TARGETS)` command learned to support
|
|
|
+ generator expressions in the ``DESTINATION`` value.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Variables
|
|
|
+---------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The version of some Fortran compilers is now detected and stored in the
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_VERSION <CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION>`
|
|
|
+ variable.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` learned a new
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CMAKE_VS_INCLUDE_INSTALL_TO_DEFAULT_BUILD` option
|
|
|
+ to put the ``INSTALL`` target in the default build of a
|
|
|
+ solution (``.sln``) file.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Properties
|
|
|
+----------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* A :prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` target property and supporting
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` variable were introduced
|
|
|
+ to allow target platform binaries to run on the host during cross
|
|
|
+ compiling.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* A :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE` target property and supporting
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE` variable were introduced
|
|
|
+ to tell the :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator
|
|
|
+ to run ``include-what-you-use`` along with the compiler for ``C`` and
|
|
|
+ ``CXX`` languages.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET` and
|
|
|
+ :prop_tgt:`VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN` target properties now
|
|
|
+ affect compilation in sources of all target types. See
|
|
|
+ policy :policy:`CMP0063`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :prop_tgt:`XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_<an-attribute>` target property learned
|
|
|
+ to support generator expressions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Modules
|
|
|
+-------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`CheckFortranCompilerFlag` module was introduced
|
|
|
+ to check ``Fortran`` compiler flags, much like the
|
|
|
+ :module:`CheckCCompilerFlag` module already does for ``C``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`ExternalData` module learned a new
|
|
|
+ :variable:`ExternalData_NO_SYMLINKS` option to disable use of
|
|
|
+ symbolic links to populate the real data files and use copies
|
|
|
+ instead.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`ExternalData` module learned a new ``RECURSE:``
|
|
|
+ option in ``DATA{}`` references specifying directories.
|
|
|
+ This allows an entire directory tree of associated files
|
|
|
+ to be matched.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`ExternalData` module learned a new URL template
|
|
|
+ placeholder ``%(algo:<key>)`` to allow custom mapping from
|
|
|
+ algorithm name to URL component through configuration of new
|
|
|
+ :variable:`ExternalData_URL_ALGO_<algo>_<key>` variables.
|
|
|
+ This allows more flexibility in remote URLs.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module learned to replace tokens
|
|
|
+ like ``<BINARY_DIR>`` in the ``BYPRODUCTS`` of each step.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`ExternalProject` module APIs learned to support
|
|
|
+ :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`
|
|
|
+ when using ``LOG_*`` options and in CMake initial cache options.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindBoost` module now tracks the directories containing
|
|
|
+ libraries separately for RELEASE and DEBUG configurations.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindCUDA` module now defaults to using the static
|
|
|
+ CUDA runtime library if it is available. A new
|
|
|
+ ``CUDA_USE_STATIC_CUDA_RUNTIME`` option is offered to control
|
|
|
+ this behavior.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindMatlab` module was completely rewritten. It learned
|
|
|
+ about versions and components and to find Matlab in a more precise and
|
|
|
+ multiplatform way. The module now offers APIs to create mex extensions,
|
|
|
+ documentation, and unit tests.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindPackageHandleStandardArgs` module
|
|
|
+ ``FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS`` function now
|
|
|
+ always populates both the ``<PackageName>_FOUND``
|
|
|
+ and ``<UPPERCASE_NAME>_FOUND`` variables (the latter
|
|
|
+ for backwards compatibility). The ``FOUND_VAR``
|
|
|
+ option is now ignored except to enforce its allowed
|
|
|
+ values.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`InstallRequiredSystemLibraries` module learned a new
|
|
|
+ ``CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_COMPONENT`` option to specify the
|
|
|
+ installation component.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Generator Expressions
|
|
|
+---------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* A new ``COMPILE_LANGUAGE`` generator expression was introduced to
|
|
|
+ allow specification of compile options for target files based on the
|
|
|
+ :prop_sf:`LANGUAGE` of each source file. Due to limitations of the
|
|
|
+ underlying native build tools, this feature has varying support across
|
|
|
+ generators. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual
|
|
|
+ for details.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+CTest
|
|
|
+-----
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :manual:`ctest(1)` tool learned a new ``--repeat-until-fail <n>``
|
|
|
+ option to help find sporadic test failures.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`CTestCoverageCollectGCOV` module learned to support
|
|
|
+ the same ``CTEST_CUSTOM_COVERAGE_EXCLUDE`` option as the
|
|
|
+ :command:`ctest_coverage` command.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+CPack
|
|
|
+-----
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :manual:`cpack(1)` ``IFW`` generator and the :module:`CPackIFW`
|
|
|
+ module learned to support Qt Framework Installer 2.0 tools.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned a new
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS`
|
|
|
+ variable to specify per-component use of ``dpkg-shlibdeps``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module learned a new
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_DEPENDS`
|
|
|
+ option to specify per-component dependencies.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned to package symbolic links
|
|
|
+ more cleanly and now supports directory symlinks with recent
|
|
|
+ ``rpmbuild`` versions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned a new
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_RPM_ADDITIONAL_MAN_DIRS` variable to specify
|
|
|
+ directories containing man pages for the brp-compress RPM macro.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`CPackRPM` module learned a new
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_RPM_<component>_PACKAGE_ARCHITECTURE` variable
|
|
|
+ to specify a component-specific package architecture.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The CPack WIX generator learned the new
|
|
|
+ :prop_inst:`CPACK_START_MENU_SHORTCUTS`,
|
|
|
+ :prop_inst:`CPACK_DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS` and
|
|
|
+ :prop_inst:`CPACK_STARTUP_SHORTCUTS` installed file properties which can
|
|
|
+ be used to install shorcuts in the Start Menu, on the Desktop and
|
|
|
+ in the Startup Folder respectively.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Other
|
|
|
+-----
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
|
|
|
+ is now aware of features supported by GNU compilers on Windows, versions
|
|
|
+ 4.4 through 5.0.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` command learned a new
|
|
|
+ ``--format<format>`` option to specify the archive format to
|
|
|
+ be written.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* On OS X, CMake learned to create XCTest bundles to test Frameworks
|
|
|
+ and App Bundles within Xcode. The :module:`FindXCTest` module
|
|
|
+ provides convenience functions to handle :prop_tgt:`XCTEST` bundles.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Deprecated and Removed Features
|
|
|
+===============================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* On OS X the :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` no longer has the
|
|
|
+ ``Install For Command Line Use`` menu item. Instead there
|
|
|
+ is a ``How to Install For Command Line Use`` menu item
|
|
|
+ that shows an informational dialog box explaining how to
|
|
|
+ make the command line tools available. For example::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui --install
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`ctest_build` and :command:`build_command` commands
|
|
|
+ no longer tell ``make`` tools to ignore errors with the ``-i`` option.
|
|
|
+ Previously this was done for :ref:`Makefile Generators` but not others.
|
|
|
+ See policy :policy:`CMP0061`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 10 2010` generator no longer checks
|
|
|
+ for running VS IDEs with the project open or asks them to reload.
|
|
|
+ This was originally done for VS 10 because it had been done for
|
|
|
+ VS 7 through 9 to avoid prompting for every project in a solution.
|
|
|
+ Since VS >= 10 allow the whole solution to reload at once they
|
|
|
+ do not need CMake to help them.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 7` generator (.NET 2002) is now
|
|
|
+ deprecated and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 6` generator is now deprecated
|
|
|
+ and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`find_package` command no longer considers project
|
|
|
+ build trees recently configured in a :manual:`cmake-gui(1)`.
|
|
|
+ This was previously done only on Windows and is now never done.
|
|
|
+ The ``NO_CMAKE_BUILDS_PATH`` option is now ignored if given
|
|
|
+ and effectively always on.
|
|
|
+ Projects may populate the :ref:`User Package Registry` to aid
|
|
|
+ users building multiple dependent projects one after another.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* When building with GNU tools on Windows (MinGW tools), the
|
|
|
+ :command:`find_library` command will no longer consider
|
|
|
+ ``.dll`` files to be linkable libraries. All dynamic link
|
|
|
+ libraries are expected to provide separate ``.dll.a`` or
|
|
|
+ ``.lib`` import libraries.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`add_definitions()` command no longer causes a
|
|
|
+ :prop_dir:`DEFINITIONS` directory property to be populated. See policy
|
|
|
+ :policy:`CMP0059`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* With Visual Studio 7, 8, and 9 generators the value of the ``$(OutDir)``
|
|
|
+ placeholder no longer evaluates to the configuration name. Projects
|
|
|
+ should use ``$(ConfigurationName)`` for that instead.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Using the output of :command:`export()` with the :command:`install(FILES)`
|
|
|
+ command is no longer allowed. See policy :policy:`CMP0062` for details.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Other Changes
|
|
|
+=============
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :generator:`Ninja` generator now requires that calls to the
|
|
|
+ :command:`add_custom_command` and :command:`add_custom_target`
|
|
|
+ commands use the ``BYPRODUCTS`` option to explicitly specify any
|
|
|
+ files generated by the custom commands that are not listed as
|
|
|
+ outputs (perhaps because their timestamps are allowed to be older
|
|
|
+ than the inputs). See policy :policy:`CMP0058`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Build-time progress output of :ref:`Makefile Generators` has been improved.
|
|
|
+ It no longer mixes progress and build rule messages during parallel builds.
|
|
|
+ The link rule messages now have progress and are displayed as bold green
|
|
|
+ instead of bold red (since red is often associated with an error message).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR` variable value for Visual Studio
|
|
|
+ 7, 8, and 9 is now ``$(ConfigurationName)`` instead of ``$(OutDir)``.
|
|
|
+ This should have no effect on the intended use cases of the variable.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Linking to library files by a full path in an implicit linker search
|
|
|
+ directory (e.g. ``/usr/lib/libfoo.a``) no longer asks the linker to
|
|
|
+ search for the library (e.g. ``-lfoo``) and now links by full path.
|
|
|
+ See policy :policy:`CMP0060`.
