See policy ""CMP0064"". * The ""install(DIRECTORY)"" command ""DESTINATION"" option learned to support ""generator expressions"". * The ""install(FILES)"" command ""DESTINATION"" option learned to support ""generator expressions"". * CMake learned to honor ""*.manifest"" source files with MSVC tools. Manifest files named as sources of "".exe"" and "".dll"" targets will be merged with linker-generated manifests and embedded in the binary. Deprecated and Removed Features: * The ""CMakeExpandImportedTargets"" module is now documented as deprecated. See module documentation for an explanation. * The ""CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS"" variable no longer has any effect. Previously it was partially implemented and unreliable. CMake 3.4 Release Notes *********************** Changes made since CMake 3.3 include the following. New Features ============ Generators ---------- * The ""Visual Studio 14 2015"" generator learned to select a Windows 10 SDK based on the value of the ""CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION"" variable and the SDKs available on the host. * CMake learned rudimentary support for the Apple Swift language. When using the ""Xcode"" generator with Xcode 6.1 or higher, one may enable the ""Swift"" language with the ""enable_language()"" command or the ""project()"" command (this is an error with other generators or when Xcode is too old). Then one may list "".swift"" source files in targets for compilation. Commands -------- * The ""find_program()"" command learned a ""NAMES_PER_DIR"" option to consider all given ""NAMES"" in each directory before moving on to the next directory. * The ""get_filename_component()"" command learned a new ""BASE_DIR"" subcommand. This is used to specify a base directory when calculating an absolute path from a relative path. * The ""if()"" command learned a new ""TEST"" operator that evaluates to true if a given test name has been defined by the ""add_test()"" command. See policy ""CMP0064"". * The ""install(DIRECTORY)"" command ""DESTINATION"" option learned to support ""generator expressions"". * The ""install(FILES)"" command ""DESTINATION"" option learned to support ""generator expressions"". * The ""string()"" command learned a new ""APPEND"" subcommand. Variables --------- * The Makefile Generators and the ""Ninja"" generator learned to add compiler launcher tools like distcc and ccache along with the compiler for ""C"" and ""CXX"" languages. See the ""CMAKE__COMPILER_LAUNCHER"" variable and ""_COMPILER_LAUNCHER"" target property for details. * New ""CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC"" and ""CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC"" variables were introduced to initialize the ""LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC"" and ""LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC"" target properties, respectively. Properties ---------- * Visual Studio Generators learned to support additonal target properties to customize projects for NVIDIA Nsight Tegra Visual Studio Edition: * ""ANDROID_ANT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS"" * ""ANDROID_ARCH"" * ""ANDROID_ASSETS_DIRECTORIES"" * ""ANDROID_JAR_DEPENDENCIES"" * ""ANDROID_JAR_DIRECTORIES"" * ""ANDROID_JAVA_SOURCE_DIR"" * ""ANDROID_NATIVE_LIB_DEPENDENCIES"" * ""ANDROID_NATIVE_LIB_DIRECTORIES"" * ""ANDROID_PROCESS_MAX"" * ""ANDROID_PROGUARD"" * ""ANDROID_PROGUARD_CONFIG_PATH"" * ""ANDROID_SECURE_PROPS_PATH"" * ""ANDROID_SKIP_ANT_STEP"" * ""ANDROID_STL_TYPE"" * The ""ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY"", ""LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY"", and ""RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY"" target properties learned to support ""generator expressions"". * The ""SOURCE_DIR"" and ""BINARY_DIR"" target properties were introduced to allow project code to query where a target is defined. * The ""OUTPUT_NAME"" target property and its variants learned to support ""generator expressions"". * A ""TARGET_MESSAGES"" global property was added to tell the Makefile Generators whether to generate commands to print output after each target is completed. * On Windows with MS-compatible tools, CMake learned to optionally generate a module definition ("".def"") file for ""SHARED"" libraries. See the ""WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS"" target property. Modules ------- * The ""ExternalProject"" module ""ExternalProject_Add()"" function ""GIT_SUBMODULES"" option now also limits the set of submodules that are initialized in addition to the prior behavior of limiting the set of submodules that are updated. * The ""ExternalProject"" module learned new ""USES_TERMINAL"" arguments for giving steps exclusive terminal access. This is useful with the ""Ninja"" generator to monitor CMake superbuild progress and prevent CPU oversubscription. * The ""FindBISON"" module ""BISON_TARGET"" macro learned a new ""DEFINES_FILE"" option to specify a custom output header to be generated. * The ""FindHDF5"" module learend a new ""HDF5_PREFER_PARALLEL"" option allowing users to specify that a parallel HDF5 tool is preferred if both are available. * The ""FindIce"" module now provides imported targets. * The ""FindJava"" module learned to optionally find the ""idlj"" and ""jarsigner"" tools. * The ""FindOpenSSL"" module now provides imported targets. * The ""FindOpenSSL"" module learned a new ""OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS"" option to search only for static libraries. * The ""FindPkgConfig"" learned a new ""pkg_get_variable()"" command which may be used to query for arbitrary variables from a package (such as for related tools or data and plugin install paths). * The ""FindProtobuf"" module gained a new ""protobuf_generate_python()"" function to generate python sources from "".proto"" files. * The ""FindTIFF"" module learned to search separately for debug and release variants. * The ""FindwxWidgets"" module learned to support version requests. * The ""FindXercesC"" module learned to search separately for debug and release variants. * The ""FindZLIB"" module learned to search separately for debug and release variants. * The ""GNUInstallDirs"" module learned special default values for certain installation prefixes according to the GNU Coding Standards and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. * The ""UseJava"" module ""add_jar"" function learned to support response files (e.g. ""@srcs.txt"") for source specification. * The ""UseJava"" module ""install_jar"" function learned new ""DESTINATION"" and ""COMPONENT"" options to specify the corresponding ""install()"" command options. * The ""UseJava"" module gained a new ""create_javah"" function to create C headers from Java classes. Generator Expressions --------------------- * A new ""$"" ""generator expression"" has been added. CTest ----- * CTest learned to optionally measure the CPU load during parallel testing and avoid starting tests that may cause the load to exceed a given threshold. See the ""ctest(1)"" command ""--test-load"" option, the ""TestLoad"" setting of the CTest Test Step, the ""CTEST_TEST_LOAD"" variable, and the ""TEST_LOAD"" option of the ""ctest_test()"" command. * ""ctest(1)"" learned options ""--test-output-size-passed"" and ""-- test-output-size-failed"" to customize the limit on test output size submitted when running as a Dashboard Client. CPack ----- * The ""CPackDeb"" module learned to set package dependencies per component. See variables: * ""CPACK_DEBIAN__PACKAGE_BREAKS"" * ""CPACK_DEBIAN__PACKAGE_CONFLICTS"" * ""CPACK_DEBIAN__PACKAGE_ENHANCES"" * ""CPACK_DEBIAN__PACKAGE_PREDEPENDS"" * ""CPACK_DEBIAN__PACKAGE_PROVIDES"" * ""CPACK_DEBIAN__PACKAGE_RECOMMENDS"" * ""CPACK_DEBIAN__PACKAGE_REPLACES"" * ""CPACK_DEBIAN__PACKAGE_SUGGESTS"" * The ""CPack"" module learned to package empty directories. * The ""CPack"" module gained a new setting, ""CPACK_VERBATIM_VARIABLES"", which can be used to ensure the cpack program receives the settings' values exactly as they were set, even if they contain CMake-special characters. For compatibility, it's off by default. Other ----- * The ""Compile Features"" functionality is now aware of features supported by GNU C compilers on Windows. * CMake learned to honor ""*.manifest"" source files with MSVC tools. Manifest files named as sources of "".exe"" and "".dll"" targets will be merged with linker-generated manifests and embedded in the binary. * The Concurrent Fortran 77 compiler is now supported. Its ""compiler id"" is ""CCur"". * ""cmake(1)"" gained a new ""--trace-expand"" command line option that is like ""--trace"" but expands variable references in the output. Deprecated and Removed Features =============================== * The ""CMakeExpandImportedTargets"" module is now documented as deprecated. See module documentation for an explanation. * The ""CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS"" variable no longer has any effect. Previously it was partially implemented and unreliable. Other Changes ============= * The ""CheckFunctionExists"", ""CheckLibraryExists"", ""CheckSymbolExists"", and ""FindThreads"" modules learned to work in environments where only CXX is enabled. * The ""CPackDeb"" module now correctly excludes symlinks during package checksum calculation. * The ""CPackDeb"" no longer uses fakeroot and system tar program for packaging. * The ""CPack"" module no longer mangles settings with CMake-special characters when they're used as defaults for other settings. The macro ""cpack_set_if_not_set"", which was responsible for this, is now deprecated. * CMake no longer links executables with flags to export symbols unless the ""ENABLE_EXPORTS"" target property is set. See policy ""CMP0065"". * The ""SONAME"" field is no longer set for ""MODULE"" libraries created with the ""add_library()"" command. ""MODULE"" libraries are meant for explicit dynamic loading at runtime. They cannot be linked so ""SONAME"" is not useful. * The internal ""CMAKE__COMPILE_OBJECT"" rule variable now substitutes compiler include flags in a separate """" placeholder instead of the main """" placeholder. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes made since CMake 3.4.0-rc3: Brad King (1): CMake 3.4.0 Stephen Kelly (1): Install: Move SetHaveInstallRule to a more-obvious place }}}" enhancement closed normal 7.9 BOOK SVN medium fixed
