Revision as of 20:19, 29 June 2011
Rationale
One of the "coding" tasks consisted of actually going through our Find*.cmake files in kdelibs and its siblings and check what could be removed, upstreamed or merged in the future.
The following tables look not only at the Find files, but also at some helper CMake files which may also cease to exist or move together with their Find counterparts.
kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kde-baseapps, kde-runtime and kde-workspace were analysed.
Check*.cmake files
| File Name | Exists in CMake | Plan | Status | Style | Status | Who |
| CheckCXXSourceCompiles.cmake | Yes | Upstream to ECM, merge in changes from CMake | Our version supports linking against imported targets, upstream CMake doesn't. Search mailing list for CMake developers' rationale, maybe upstream. Began to diverge; CMake has FAIL_REGEX support, our version handles imported targets (Alex said CMake developers did not accept this feature upstream, need to search the mailing list archives). | Ok | Decided | ? |
| CheckCXXSourceRuns.cmake | Yes | See above. | See above | Ok | Decided | ? |
| CheckCXXSymbolExists.cmake | No | Upstream to CMake (or ECM) | Either check if we still support glibc 2.9, perhaps try upstreaming. Almost equivalent to CMake's CheckSymbolExists.cmake, just creates .cxx files instead of .c ones. | Ok | Decided | ? |
| CheckPointerMember.cmake | No | Upstream to CMake (or ECM) | Only used by krdc. Calls check_cxx_source_compiles on a struct with a given member. | Ok | Need feedback. | ? |
| CheckPrototypeExists.cmake | No | Upstream to CMake (or ECM) | 1d0e1a0 says this was going to be upstreamed. Try again? | Ok | Need feedback | ? |
| CheckStructMember.cmake | No | Remove | CMake has CheckStructHasMember.cmake | - | Decided | - |
Generic Macros
| File Name | Exists in CMake | Plan | Comments | Style | Status | Who |
| MacroAddCompileFlags.cmake | No | Remove | A trivial macro, used only in few places (kdm mainly I think). | - | Need feedback | - |
| MacroAddLinkFlags.cmake | No | Remove | A trivial macro, used only in few places (kdm mainly I think). | - | Need feedback | - |
| MacroAdditionalCleanFiles.cmake | No | Remove | Use set_property(DIRECTORY APPEND PROPERTY ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES file1 ... ) instead | - | Decided | - |
| MacroAppendIf.cmake | No | Remove | Not used anywhere. (Raphael) Really ? (Alex) | Ok | Need feedback | ? |
| MacroBoolTo01.cmake | No | Upstream to ECM | Ok | Need feedback | ? | |
| MacroEnsureOutOfSourceBuild.cmake | No | Upstream to ECM or CMake | Many people request something like this on the cmake list. | Ok | Need feedback | ? |
| MacroEnsureVersion.cmake | No | Upstream? to ECM ? Or Remove ? | It doesn't do much more than if(... VERSION_GREATER ...) . This was not available yet in 2007 when the macro was written. | Ok | Need feedback | ? |
| MacroKAuth.cmake | No | Remove. Already deprecated. | - | Decided | - | |
| MacroLibrary.cmake | No | Upstream to ECM | The idea of this file is that it simply includes all macro files so as user you have to include only this one file and get all macro from ECM. | Ok | Need feedback. | ? |
| MacroLogFeature.cmake | No | Remove and extend CMake's FeatureSummary as necessary. | Investigate CMake's FeatureSummary, what needs to be added so that MacroLogFeature becomes unnecessary. This requires some real work. | Ok | Need feedback | ? |
| MacroOptionalAddSubdirectory.cmake | No | Upstream to ECM | Will not be accepted into CMake | Ok | Decided | ? |
| MacroOptionalDependPackage.cmake | No | Remove | Broken, expects a FindFoo.cmake possibly provided by the application itself. | - | Decided | - |
| MacroOptionalFindPackage.cmake | No | Remove | in CMake 2.8.6 each find_package() call can be disabled via CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_PackageName. | - | Decided | - |
| MacroPushRequiredVars.cmake | No | Upstream to CMake or ECM | Useful when testing for stuff using check_function_exists() etc. | Ok | Decided | Alex |
| MacroWriteBasicCMakeVersionFile.cmake and BasicFindPackageVersion.cmake.in | No | Upstream to CMake or ECM | Useful for every package which installs a FooConfig.cmake file | Ok | Decided | Alex |
