Document the previously internal option of '-B' and provide a
matching source directory option with '-S'. Both '-B', and '-S'
can be used independently of each other.
Move the details about support for generator toolset specification
to the `CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` variable documentation. This is
a more suitable place because it is shared by all means to set this
variable, not just the `cmake -T` option.
Move the details about support for generator platform specification
to the `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable documentation. This is
a more suitable place because it is shared by all means to set this
variable, not just the `cmake -A` option.
Expand the -W set of cmake options to include support for the -Werror
and -Wno-error format, which is used to control upgrading and
downgrading warning and error messages. Implement support for these new
formats for the dev and deprecated message types.
Add tests and updated documentation for new options.
Change the '-Wdev' and '-Wno-dev' options to also enable and
suppress the deprecated warnings output, via the
'CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED' CMake variable, by default. This
action does not happen if the user specifies a deprecated
warning message option.
Add tests and update the documentation for the new
functionality.
Add 'deprecated' warning options type, to allow setting
CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED via the -W '-Wdeprecated' and
'-Wno-deprecated' options.
Add tests for new options and updated documentation.
The changes in commit c96fe0b4 (cmake: Add -W options to control
deprecation warnings and errors, 2015-07-28) fail to account for
-Wdev warnings produced by places in CMake other than message().
This causes a regression in which -Wno-dev fails to suppress such
warnings. Revert the feature until it can be revised accordingly.
Refactor the -Wdev and -Wno-dev to use a generic -W parser that follows
the GCC pattern. Include support for setting CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED and
CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED via the deprecated warning. Add -Werror=dev and
-Wno-error=dev options so that dev warning options are in line with
deprecated warning options. Use a new CMAKE_SUPPRESS_DEVELOPER_ERRORS
internal cache entry to store the above new dev options persistently.
Add tests for new options and updated cmake documentation and release
notes to list new options.
Always show the option with its argument separate in summary text.
State in the main documentation that the option and its argument can be
given together too.
Define the 'cmake -A' option to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
without having to spell out the whole variable name. We choose
the name '-A' for "platform" because '-P' is already taken, and
in the common use case the "platform" is actually an architecture
(e.g. x64).
Teach the RunCMake test infrastructure to use -A to pass the generator
platform. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case to
verify that the -A option cannot be repeated.
Add "Synopsis", "Description", and "See Also" manual page section
headers. These are typical of .1 man section pages. Also de-duplicate
the See Also section links using a separate LINKS.txt file included from
each manual.
