New Features: File-Based API: The cmake-file-api(7) "codemodel" version 2 version field has been updated to 2.8. The cmake-file-api(7) "codemodel" version 2 "target" object gained a new debugger field. Command-Line: The cmake --link-no-warning-as-error option was added to suppress the effects of the LINK_WARNING_AS_ERROR target property and CMAKE_LINK_WARNING_AS_ERROR variable. The cmake --project-file option was added to specify an alternate filename for CMakeLists.txt files. This is intended for temporary use by developers during an incremental transition and not for publication of a final product. CMake will always emit a warning when the project file is anything other than CMakeLists.txt. Commands: The target_link_libraries() command now supports the LINKER: prefix. Variables: The AIX and CMAKE_HOST_AIX variables are now set to true when the target or host system is AIX, respectively. Linker flag variables learned to support the LINKER: prefix: CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_<CONFIG> CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_<CONFIG> CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS_<CONFIG> See policy CMP0181. The CMAKE_EXECUTE_PROCESS_COMMAND_ERROR_IS_FATAL variable was added to specify the execute_process() command's default COMMAND_ERROR_IS_FATAL behavior. The CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_MODE and CMAKE_<LANG>_DEVICE_LINK_MODE variables were added to provide information on how the link step is done. The CMAKE_LINK_WARNING_AS_ERROR variable and corresponding LINK_WARNING_AS_ERROR target property were added to link using a linker-specific flag to treat warnings as errors. The CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_CHECKS variable and MSVC_RUNTIME_CHECKS target property were introduced to select runtime checks for compilers targeting the MSVC ABI. See policy CMP0184. The CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM variable was added to help packagers and end users try to configure existing projects that have not been upd |
