| 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 |
