This file provides a few notes to CMake developers about how to add
|
||
|
|
support for a new language to CMake. It is also possible to place
|
||
|
|
these files in :variable:`CMAKE_MODULE_PATH` within an outside project
|
||
|
|
to add languages not supported by upstream CMake. However, this is not
|
||
|
|
a fully supported use case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The implementation behind the scenes of project/enable_language,
|
||
|
|
including the compiler/platform modules, is an *internal* API that
|
||
|
|
does not make any compatibility guarantees. It is not covered in the
|
||
|
|
official reference documentation that is versioned with the source code.
|
||
|
|
Maintainers of external language support are responsible for porting
|
||
|
|
it to each version of CMake as upstream changes are made. Since
|
||
|
|
the API is internal we will not necessarily include notice of any
|
||
|
|
changes in release notes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CMakeDetermine(LANG)Compiler.cmake -> this should find the compiler for LANG and configure CMake(LANG)Compiler.cmake.in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CMake(LANG)Compiler.cmake.in -> used by CMakeDetermine(LANG)Compiler.cmake
|
||
|
|
This file is used to store compiler information and is copied down into try
|
||
|
|
compile directories so that try compiles do not need to re-determine and test the LANG
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CMakeTest(LANG)Compiler.cmake -> test the compiler and set:
|
||
|
|
SET(CMAKE_(LANG)_COMPILER_WORKS 1 CACHE INTERNAL "")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CMake(LANG)Information.cmake -> set up rule variables for LANG :
|
||
|
|
CMAKE_(LANG)_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY
|
||
|
|
CMAKE_(LANG)_CREATE_SHARED_MODULE
|
||
|
|
CMAKE_(LANG)_CREATE_STATIC_LIBRARY
|
||
|
|
CMAKE_(LANG)_COMPILE_OBJECT
|
||
|
|
CMAKE_(LANG)_LINK_EXECUTABLE
