This breaks the `clean` rule when using Ninja as the CMake
generator. Unfortunately this means `clean` doesn't try to
remove the generated documentation anymore when using Ninja.

It's useful to be able to control the defaults and CMake's internal
logic for GCC/Clang is simple enough that doing this makes sense.
It would be nice to do the same for MSVC but CMake's internal
logic is more complicated so for now it's better that we just use
CMake's default.
compiler defines and flags when using MSVC.
There are lots of defines and flags that I'm unsure about so in
some cases I've changed the behaviour slightly (if I'm confident
the behaviour in the old build system is wrong) or not added the
flag/define at all but just left comments noting what the old build
system did and why I disagree with the old build system's choices.
This analogous to the `--optimize` flag in the Python/Makefile
build system except that we now support doing LTO with Clang/GCC
as well. However it is probably best to avoid doing LTO with
Clang or GCC for now because I see a bunch of warnings about
ODR violations when building with LTO.
LTO can be enabled with the new `LINK_TIME_OPTIMIZATION` option
which is off by default.
using MSVC. This is set by the old build system but we weren't setting
it. This actually MSVC's default but in an effort to try to behave
more like the old build system we will set it anyway.
The setting of overrides was broken (the CXX flags were not set but
the C flags were) and we aren't even using the C compiler any more.
The C compiler is used by the example C project but that is built
as an external project now so we don't need C support anymore.
The setting of defaults was also very fragile. CMake has quite
complicated support here (e.g. MSVC with a clang based tool chain) which
would likely not work properly with the override approach as it existed.
This means we loose some of the custom linker flags we were setting for
MSVC but we were never doing a great job of replicating the exact set of
flags used in the old build system anyway. Subsequent commits will
gradually fix this.
and install them. The target for building the documentation is
`api_docs`.
This is off by default but can be enabled with the
`BUILD_DOCUMENTATION` option. The C and C++ API documentation
is always built but the Python, ".NET", and Java documentation are
only built if they are enabled in the build system. The rationale
for this is that it would be confusing to install documentation
for API bindings that are not installed.
By default `ALWAYS_BUILD_DOCS` is on which will slow down builds
significantly but will ensure that when the `install` target is
invoked the documentation is up-to-date. Unfortunately I couldn't
find a better way to do this. `ALWAYS_BUILD_DOCS` can be disabled
to get faster builds and still have the `api_docs` target available.
file for the build and install tree.
These files allow users of CMake to use Z3 via a CMake config package.
Clients can do `find_package(Z3 CONFIG)` to get use the package from
their projects.
When generating the files for the install tree we try to generate
the files so that they are relocatable so that it shouldn't matter
if the installed files aren't in the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when
a user consumes them. As long as the relative locations of the files
aren't changed things should still work.
A new CMake cache variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_Z3_CMAKE_PACKAGE_DIR` has been
added so that the install location of the Z3 CMake package files can be
controlled.
This addresses #915 .
CMake will automatically pick up changes in git's HEAD so that
the necessary code is rebuilt when the build system is invoked.
Two new options `INCLUDE_GIT_HASH` and `INCLUDE_GIT_DESCRIBE` have been
added that enable/disable including the git hash and the output of `git
describe` respectively. By default if the source tree is a git
repository both options are on, otherwise they are false by default.
To support the `Z3GITHASH` macro a different implementation is used from
the old build system. In that build system the define is passed on the
command line. This would not work well for CMake because CMake
conservatively (and correctly) rebuilds *everything* if the flags given
to the compiler change. This would result in the entire project being
rebuilt everytime git's `HEAD` changed. Instead in this implementation
a CMake specific version of `version.h.in` (named `version.h.cmake.in`)
is added that uses the `#cmakedefine` feature of CMake's
`configure_file()` command to define `Z3GITHASH` if it is available and
not define it otherwise. This way only object files that depend on
`version.h` get re-built rather than the whole project.
It is unfortunate that the build systems now have different `version.h`
file templates. However they are very simple and I don't want to
modify how templates are handled in the python/Makefile build system.
