C++ modules have two variants which are of importance to CMake:
- `CXX_MODULES`: interface modules (those using `export module M;`,
`export module M:part;`, or `module M:internal_part;`)
- `CXX_MODULE_HEADER_UNITS`: importable header units
Creating C++ modules or partitions are *not* supported in any other
source listing. This is because the source files must be installed (so
their scope matters), but not part of usage requirements (what it means
for a module source to be injected into a consumer is not clear at this
moment). Due to the way `FILE_SET` works with scopes, they are a perfect
fit as long as `INTERFACE` is not allowed (which it is not).
Since commit f47b4f68a9 (Drop Visual Studio 7 generator for VS .NET
2002, 2016-03-10, v3.6.0-rc1~268^2), the `WriteTargetDepends` method has
not been used.
#pragma once is a widely supported compiler pragma, even though it is
not part of the C++ standard. Many of the issues keeping #pragma once
from being standardized (distributed filesystems, build farms, hard
links, etc.) do not apply to CMake - it is easy to build CMake on a
single machine. CMake also does not install any header files which can
be consumed by other projects (though cmCPluginAPI.h has been
deliberately omitted from this conversion in case anyone is still using
it.) Finally, #pragma once has been required to build CMake since at
least August 2017 (7f29bbe6 enabled server mode unconditionally, which
had been using #pragma once since September 2016 (b13d3e0d)). The fact
that we now require C++11 filters out old compilers, and it is unlikely
that there is a compiler which supports C++11 but does not support
#pragma once.
This refactors a std::vector<std::string> into a class so that
we can extend the features to represent things such as multiple
chained commands in the future.
Make the constructors protected since they should be produced through
factories. Also rename `platform{ => InGenerator}Name` to clarify
the meaning of the argument.
Run the `clang-format.bash` script to update all our C and C++ code to a
new style defined by `.clang-format`. Use `clang-format` version 6.0.

While we already support `cmake --build . -- -j`, the options after `--`
are specific to the native build tool. Add new options `--parallel
[<N>]` and `-j [<N>]` to abstract this and map to the proper option
for the native build tool.
We now require C++11 support including `override`. Drop use of
the old compatibility macro. Convert references as follows:
git grep -l CM_OVERRIDE -- '*.h' '*.hxx' '*.cxx' |
xargs sed -i 's/CM_OVERRIDE/override/g'
Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

The -T parameter to CMake may now be specified through cmake-gui via a
new text field in the first-time configure wizard (below the generator
chooser).
The generator factories specify whether or not they support toolsets.
This information is propagated to the Qt code and used to determine if
the selected generator should also display the optional Toolset widgets.
Compute deterministic GUIDs that are unique to the build tree by
hashing the path to the build tree with the GUID logical name.
Avoid storing them in the cache, but honor any found there.
This will allow project GUIDs to be reproduced in a fresh build
tree so long as its path is the same as the original, which may
be useful for incremental builds.
