| CMake 4.0.1 Apr 11, 2025 |
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 This is intended for temporary use by developers during an incremental transition and not for publication of a final product.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 |

New Features: Presets: “cmake-presets(7)” files may now include comments using the key $comment” at any level within the JSON object to provide documentation. “cmake-presets(7)” files may now request graphviz output using the “graphviz” key in a configure preset. Generators: The Ninja Generators and Makefile Generators now produce a “codegen” build target. See policy “CMP0171”. It drives a subset of the build graph sufficient to run custom commands created with "add_custom_command()”'s new “CODEGEN” option. Command-Line: The “cmake --workflow” mode now accepts a preset name as the first argument, allowing the simpler command line “cmake --workflow <preset>”. The “cmake -LR[A][H]” option was added to list cache entries whose names match a regular expression. Compilers: The LFortran compiler is now supported with “compiler id” “LFortran”. Commands: The “add_custom_command()” command gained a “CODEGEN” option to mark a custom command’s outputs as dependencies of a “codegen” target. See policy “CMP0171”. The “cmake_pkg_config()” command was added as an endpoint for using CMake’s native pkg-config format parser. The only supported option in this release is “EXTRACT”, which provides low-level access to the values produced by parsing a pkg-config file. For most users, this is not yet a suitable replacement for the “FindPkgConfig” module. The “file(ARCHIVE_CREATE)” command gained a “WORKING_DIRECTORY” option to specify a working directory for the archiving process. The “file(MAKE_DIRECTORY)” command gained a “RESULT” option to capture failure in a result variable. The “install(FILES)” and “install(DIRECTORY)” commands’ “TYPE” argument gained support for a “LIBEXEC” type. Variables: The “CMAKE_AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE” variable and corresponding “AIX_SHARED_LIBRARY_ARCHIVE” target property were added to create shared libraries on AIX as sh |
