|
|
+Changes made since CMake 3.24 include the following.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+New Features
|
|
|
+============
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Presets
|
|
|
+-------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` schema version has been bumped to ``6``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` format now supports a
|
|
|
+ ``packagePresets`` field to specify presets for :option:`cpack --preset`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :manual:`cmake-presets(7)` format now supports a
|
|
|
+ ``workflowPresets`` field to specify presets for :option:`cmake --workflow`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Languages
|
|
|
+---------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :manual:`Compile Features <cmake-compile-features(7)>` functionality
|
|
|
+ is now aware of C++26, and defines a ``cxx_std_26`` meta-feature.
|
|
|
+ C++26 compiler modes may also be specified via the :prop_tgt:`CXX_STANDARD`,
|
|
|
+ :prop_tgt:`CUDA_STANDARD`, :prop_tgt:`HIP_STANDARD`,
|
|
|
+ or :prop_tgt:`OBJCXX_STANDARD` target properties.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* ``CUDA`` language support now includes device link-time optimization when
|
|
|
+ using ``nvcc``. The :variable:`CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` variable
|
|
|
+ and the associated :prop_tgt:`INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` target property
|
|
|
+ will activate device LTO.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Command-Line
|
|
|
+------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* A :ref:`cmake --workflow --preset <Workflow Mode>` mode was added
|
|
|
+ to drive sequences of configure, build, test, and package operations
|
|
|
+ through a single command.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :option:`cmake -E capabilities <cmake-E capabilities>` command
|
|
|
+ gained a new ``tls`` field that tells whether or not TLS is enabled.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :option:`cmake -E env <cmake-E env>` command-line tool gained
|
|
|
+ a ``--modify`` flag to support :prop_test:`ENVIRONMENT_MODIFICATION`
|
|
|
+ operations.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :option:`cmake --debug-trycompile` option now prints log messages
|
|
|
+ reporting the directory in which each try-compile check is done.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Compilers
|
|
|
+---------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Support for the `Tasking compiler toolsets`_ (SmartCode, TriCore,
|
|
|
+ Standalone: ARM, MCS, 8051) was added with compiler id ``Tasking``.
|
|
|
+ See the :variable:`CMAKE_TASKING_TOOLSET` variable.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. _`Tasking compiler toolsets`: https://tasking.com
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Commands
|
|
|
+--------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`add_subdirectory` command gained a ``SYSTEM`` option
|
|
|
+ to enable the :prop_dir:`SYSTEM` directory property in the subdirectory.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`block` and :command:`endblock` commands were added to manage
|
|
|
+ specific scopes (policy or variable) for a contained block of commands.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`cmake_language` command gained a new
|
|
|
+ ``GET_MESSAGE_LOG_LEVEL`` sub-command. It can be used to
|
|
|
+ query the current message logging level.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`find_file`, :command:`find_path`, :command:`find_library`, and
|
|
|
+ :command:`find_program` commands gained a ``VALIDATOR`` option to specify a
|
|
|
+ function to be called for each candidate item to validate it.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`find_package` command now considers paths of
|
|
|
+ the form ``<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/<name>*/`` when
|
|
|
+ searching for package configuration files.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`return` command gained a ``PROPAGATE`` option to propagate
|
|
|
+ variables to the scope to which control returns.
|
|
|
+ See policy :policy:`CMP0140`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`try_compile` and :command:`try_run` commands gained new
|
|
|
+ signatures that more consistently use keyword dispatch and do not require a
|
|
|
+ binary directory to be specified. Additionally, these signatures use a
|
|
|
+ unique directory for each invocation, which allows multiple outputs to be
|
|
|
+ preserved when using :option:`cmake --debug-trycompile`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`try_compile` and :command:`try_run` commands gained the
|
|
|
+ option ``NO_CACHE`` to store results in normal variables.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :command:`try_run` command gained ``RUN_OUTPUT_STDOUT_VARIABLE``
|
|
|
+ and ``RUN_OUTPUT_STDERR_VARIABLE`` options to capture stdout and stderr
|
|
|
+ separately from the output of the compiled program.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Variables
|
|
|
+---------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :variable:`BSD` and :variable:`CMAKE_HOST_BSD` variables are now set
|
|
|
+ to a string value when the target or host system is BSD, respectively.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :variable:`LINUX` and :variable:`CMAKE_HOST_LINUX` variables are
|
|
|
+ now set to true when the target or host system is Linux, respectively.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT` variable and
|
|
|
+ :prop_tgt:`MSVC_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT` target property were introduced
|
|
|
+ to select the debug information format for compilers targeting the MSVC ABI.
|
|
|
+ See policy :policy:`CMP0141`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_ENABLE_GPU_API_VALIDATION` variable and
|
|
|
+ corresponding :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_ENABLE_GPU_API_VALIDATION` target
|
|
|
+ property were added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator what to put
|
|
|
+ in the scheme's ``Metal: API Validation`` setting.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_ENABLE_GPU_SHADER_VALIDATION` variable and
|
|
|
+ corresponding :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_ENABLE_GPU_SHADER_VALIDATION` target
|
|
|
+ property were added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator what to put
|
|
|
+ in the scheme's ``Metal: Shader Validation`` setting.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_LAUNCH_MODE` variable and corresponding
|
|
|
+ :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_LAUNCH_MODE` target property were added to tell
|
|
|
+ the :generator:`Xcode` generator what to put in the scheme's "Launch"
|
|
|
+ mode setting.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_SCHEME_LAUNCH_CONFIGURATION` variable and
|
|
|
+ corresponding :prop_tgt:`XCODE_SCHEME_LAUNCH_CONFIGURATION` target
|
|
|
+ property were added to tell the :generator:`Xcode` generator what
|
|
|
+ configuration to put in the scheme's Launch action.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Properties
|
|
|
+----------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` target property now supports
|
|
|
+ :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :prop_tgt:`EXPORT_NO_SYSTEM` target property was added to
|
|
|
+ specify that :command:`install(EXPORT)` and :command:`export`
|
|
|
+ commands will generate na imported target with
|
|
|
+ :prop_tgt:`SYSTEM` property ``OFF``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :prop_tgt:`SYSTEM` target property was added to specify
|
|
|
+ whether a target should be treated as a system library (i.e.
|
|
|
+ its include directories are automatically ``SYSTEM`` when
|
|
|
+ compiling consumers). If not set, the default is the previous
|
|
|
+ behavior: on for imported targets and off for other targets.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :prop_dir:`SYSTEM` directory property was added to initialize the
|
|
|
+ :prop_tgt:`SYSTEM` target property for targets created in that directory.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Modules
|
|
|
+-------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FetchContent` module :command:`FetchContent_Declare`
|
|
|
+ command gained a ``SYSTEM`` option to enable the :prop_dir:`SYSTEM`
|
|
|
+ directory property in the subdirectory.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindCUDAToolkit` module now provides a target for
|
|
|
+ :ref:`nvtx3 <cuda_toolkit_nvtx3>` for CUDA 10.0+, which supersedes
|
|
|
+ :ref:`nvToolsExt <cuda_toolkit_nvToolsExt>`. A deprecation warning
|
|
|
+ is emitted when using ``nvToolsExt`` if the project requires CMake
|
|
|
+ 3.25 and CUDA 10.0+ is used.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindDoxygen` module's version handling has been improved:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Multiple candidate installations will now be considered, if needed,
|
|
|
+ to satisfy version constraints. Previously, only the first one
|
|
|
+ encountered would be considered.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Version ranges are supported.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Variations in the version format reported by Doxygen are now
|
|
|
+ tolerated (e.g. a trailing git commit hash).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindOpenAL` module now provides an imported target.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindOpenSP` module was added to find the OpenSP library.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`FindVulkan` module gained support for new components:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ``dxc``
|
|
|
+ DirectX Shader Compiler.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ``volk``
|
|
|
+ Volk open-source vulkan meta-loader.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+CPack
|
|
|
+-----
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :cpack_gen:`CPack Archive Generator` gained a new
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_ARCHIVE_FILE_EXTENSION` variable to control
|
|
|
+ the package file name extension.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :cpack_gen:`CPack NSIS Generator` gained two new variables
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_EXECUTABLE_PRE_ARGUMENTS` and
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_NSIS_EXECUTABLE_POST_ARGUMENTS`
|
|
|
+ to provide arguments to the nsis executable invocation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :module:`CPack` module gained the :variable:`CPACK_READELF_EXECUTABLE`,
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_OBJCOPY_EXECUTABLE`, and
|
|
|
+ :variable:`CPACK_OBJDUMP_EXECUTABLE` variables to control the locations
|
|
|
+ of binutils used by :manual:`cpack(1)`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Deprecated and Removed Features
|
|
|
+===============================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED_NO_SYSTEM` target property has been deprecated
|
|
|
+ in favor of :prop_tgt:`SYSTEM` and :prop_tgt:`EXPORT_NO_SYSTEM`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 10 2010` generator has been removed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :generator:`Visual Studio 11 2012` generator is now deprecated
|
|
|
+ and will be removed in a future version of CMake.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Other Changes
|
|
|
+=============
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* On Windows, when targeting the MSVC ABI, the :command:`find_library` command
|
|
|
+ now accepts ``.a`` file names after first considering ``.lib``. This is
|
|
|
+ symmetric with existing behavior when targeting the GNU ABI, in which the
|
|
|
+ command accepts ``.lib`` file names after first considering ``.a``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :envvar:`SSL_CERT_FILE` and :envvar:`SSL_CERT_DIR` environment
|
|
|
+ variables can now be used to override where to find certificate
|
|
|
+ authorities for TLS/SSL operations.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* If :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY` includes a ``-p`` argument, the
|
|
|
+ full compiler command line is no longer appended after ``--``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The :generator:`Xcode` generator no longer adds the per-config suffix
|
|
|
+ ``$(CONFIGURATION)$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)`` to library search paths.
|
|
|
+ See policy :policy:`CMP0142`.
