WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
----------------------------

.. deprecated:: 3.20
  This module is available only if policy :policy:`CMP0120`
  is not set to ``NEW``.  Do not use it in new code.

.. versionadded:: 3.1

This module provides the function ``write_compiler_detection_header()``.

This function can be used to generate a file suitable for preprocessor
inclusion which contains macros to be used in source code::

   write_compiler_detection_header(
             FILE <file>
             PREFIX <prefix>
             [OUTPUT_FILES_VAR <output_files_var> OUTPUT_DIR <output_dir>]
             COMPILERS <compiler> [...]
             FEATURES <feature> [...]
             [BARE_FEATURES <feature> [...]]
             [VERSION <version>]
             [PROLOG <prolog>]
             [EPILOG <epilog>]
             [ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS]
             [ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS]
   )

This generates the file ``<file>`` with macros which all have the prefix
``<prefix>``.

By default, all content is written directly to the ``<file>``.  The
``OUTPUT_FILES_VAR`` may be specified to cause the compiler-specific
content to be written to separate files.  The separate files are then
available in the ``<output_files_var>`` and may be consumed by the caller
for installation for example.  The ``OUTPUT_DIR`` specifies a relative
path from the main ``<file>`` to the compiler-specific files. For example:

.. code-block:: cmake

   write_compiler_detection_header(
     FILE climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
     PREFIX ClimbingStats
     OUTPUT_FILES_VAR support_files
     OUTPUT_DIR compilers
     COMPILERS GNU Clang MSVC Intel
     FEATURES cxx_variadic_templates
   )
   install(FILES
     ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
     DESTINATION include
   )
   install(FILES
     ${support_files}
     DESTINATION include/compilers
   )


``VERSION`` may be used to specify the API version to be generated.
Future versions of CMake may introduce alternative APIs.  A given
API is selected by any ``<version>`` value greater than or equal
to the version of CMake that introduced the given API and less
than the version of CMake that introduced its succeeding API.
The value of the :variable:`CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED_VERSION`
variable is used if no explicit version is specified.
(As of CMake version |release| there is only one API version.)

``PROLOG`` may be specified as text content to write at the start of the
header. ``EPILOG`` may be specified as text content to write at the end
of the header

At least one ``<compiler>`` and one ``<feature>`` must be listed.  Compilers
which are known to CMake, but not specified are detected and a preprocessor
``#error`` is generated for them.  A preprocessor macro matching
``<PREFIX>_COMPILER_IS_<compiler>`` is generated for each compiler
known to CMake to contain the value ``0`` or ``1``.

Possible compiler identifiers are documented with the
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID` variable.
Available features in this version of CMake are listed in the
:prop_gbl:`CMAKE_C_KNOWN_FEATURES` and
:prop_gbl:`CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES` global properties.
See the :manual:`cmake-compile-features(7)` manual for information on
compile features.

.. versionadded:: 3.2
  Added ``MSVC`` and ``AppleClang`` compiler support.

.. versionadded:: 3.6
  Added ``Intel`` compiler support.

.. versionchanged:: 3.8
  The ``{c,cxx}_std_*`` meta-features are ignored if requested.

.. versionadded:: 3.8
  ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILERS`` and ``ALLOW_UNKNOWN_COMPILER_VERSIONS`` cause
  the module to generate conditions that treat unknown compilers as simply
  lacking all features.  Without these options the default behavior is to
  generate a ``#error`` for unknown compilers and versions.

.. versionadded:: 3.12
  ``BARE_FEATURES`` will define the compatibility macros with the name used in
  newer versions of the language standard, so the code can use the new feature
  name unconditionally.

Feature Test Macros
===================

For each compiler, a preprocessor macro is generated matching
``<PREFIX>_COMPILER_IS_<compiler>`` which has the content either ``0``
or ``1``, depending on the compiler in use. Preprocessor macros for
compiler version components are generated matching
``<PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_MAJOR`` ``<PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_MINOR``
and ``<PREFIX>_COMPILER_VERSION_PATCH`` containing decimal values
for the corresponding compiler version components, if defined.

A preprocessor test is generated based on the compiler version
denoting whether each feature is enabled.  A preprocessor macro
matching ``<PREFIX>_COMPILER_<FEATURE>``, where ``<FEATURE>`` is the
upper-case ``<feature>`` name, is generated to contain the value
``0`` or ``1`` depending on whether the compiler in use supports the
feature:

.. code-block:: cmake

   write_compiler_detection_header(
     FILE climbingstats_compiler_detection.h
     PREFIX ClimbingStats
     COMPILERS GNU Clang AppleClang MSVC Intel
     FEATURES cxx_variadic_templates
   )

.. code-block:: c++

   #if ClimbingStats_COMPILER_CXX_VARIADIC_TEMPLATES
   template<typename... T>
   void someInterface(T t...) { /* ... */ }
   #else
   // Compatibility versions
   template<typename T1>
   void someInterface(T1 t1) { /* ... */ }
   template<typename T1, typename T2>
   void someInterface(T1 t1, T2 t2) { /* ... */ }
   template<typename T1, typename T2, typename T3>
   void someInterface(T1 t1, T2 t2, T3 t3) { /* ... */ }
   #endif

Symbol Macros
=============

Some additional symbol-defines are created for particular features for
use as symbols which may be conditionally defined empty:

.. code-block:: c++

   class MyClass ClimbingStats_FINAL
   {
       ClimbingStats_CONSTEXPR int someInterface() { return 42; }
   };

The ``ClimbingStats_FINAL`` macro will expand to ``final`` if the
compiler (and its flags) support the ``cxx_final`` feature, and the
``ClimbingStats_CONSTEXPR`` macro will expand to ``constexpr``
if ``cxx_constexpr`` is supported.

If ``BARE_FEATURES cxx_final`` was given as argument the ``final`` keyword
will be defined for old compilers, too.

The following features generate corresponding symbol defines and if they
are available as ``BARE_FEATURES``:

========================== =================================== ================= ======
        Feature                          Define                      Symbol       bare
========================== =================================== ================= ======
``c_restrict``              ``<PREFIX>_RESTRICT``               ``restrict``      yes
``cxx_constexpr``           ``<PREFIX>_CONSTEXPR``              ``constexpr``     yes
``cxx_deleted_functions``   ``<PREFIX>_DELETED_FUNCTION``       ``= delete``
``cxx_extern_templates``    ``<PREFIX>_EXTERN_TEMPLATE``        ``extern``
``cxx_final``               ``<PREFIX>_FINAL``                  ``final``         yes
``cxx_noexcept``            ``<PREFIX>_NOEXCEPT``               ``noexcept``      yes
``cxx_noexcept``            ``<PREFIX>_NOEXCEPT_EXPR(X)``       ``noexcept(X)``
``cxx_override``            ``<PREFIX>_OVERRIDE``               ``override``      yes
========================== =================================== ================= ======

Compatibility Implementation Macros
===================================

Some features are suitable for wrapping in a macro with a backward
compatibility implementation if the compiler does not support the feature.

When the ``cxx_static_assert`` feature is not provided by the compiler,
a compatibility implementation is available via the
``<PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT(COND)`` and
``<PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG(COND, MSG)`` function-like macros. The macros
expand to ``static_assert`` where that compiler feature is available, and
to a compatibility implementation otherwise. In the first form, the
condition is stringified in the message field of ``static_assert``.  In
the second form, the message ``MSG`` is passed to the message field of
``static_assert``, or ignored if using the backward compatibility
implementation.

The ``cxx_attribute_deprecated`` feature provides a macro definition
``<PREFIX>_DEPRECATED``, which expands to either the standard
``[[deprecated]]`` attribute or a compiler-specific decorator such
as ``__attribute__((__deprecated__))`` used by GNU compilers.

The ``cxx_alignas`` feature provides a macro definition
``<PREFIX>_ALIGNAS`` which expands to either the standard ``alignas``
decorator or a compiler-specific decorator such as
``__attribute__ ((__aligned__))`` used by GNU compilers.

The ``cxx_alignof`` feature provides a macro definition
``<PREFIX>_ALIGNOF`` which expands to either the standard ``alignof``
decorator or a compiler-specific decorator such as ``__alignof__``
used by GNU compilers.

============================= ================================ ===================== ======
          Feature                          Define                     Symbol          bare
============================= ================================ ===================== ======
``cxx_alignas``                ``<PREFIX>_ALIGNAS``             ``alignas``
``cxx_alignof``                ``<PREFIX>_ALIGNOF``             ``alignof``
``cxx_nullptr``                ``<PREFIX>_NULLPTR``             ``nullptr``           yes
``cxx_static_assert``          ``<PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT``       ``static_assert``
``cxx_static_assert``          ``<PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG``   ``static_assert``
``cxx_attribute_deprecated``   ``<PREFIX>_DEPRECATED``          ``[[deprecated]]``
``cxx_attribute_deprecated``   ``<PREFIX>_DEPRECATED_MSG``      ``[[deprecated]]``
``cxx_thread_local``           ``<PREFIX>_THREAD_LOCAL``        ``thread_local``
============================= ================================ ===================== ======

A use-case which arises with such deprecation macros is the deprecation
of an entire library.  In that case, all public API in the library may
be decorated with the ``<PREFIX>_DEPRECATED`` macro.  This results in
very noisy build output when building the library itself, so the macro
may be may be defined to empty in that case when building the deprecated
library:

.. code-block:: cmake

  add_library(compat_support ${srcs})
  target_compile_definitions(compat_support
    PRIVATE
      CompatSupport_DEPRECATED=
  )

.. _`WCDH Example Usage`:

Example Usage
=============

.. note::

  This section was migrated from the :manual:`cmake-compile-features(7)`
  manual since it relies on the ``WriteCompilerDetectionHeader`` module
  which is removed by policy :policy:`CMP0120`.

Compile features may be preferred if available, without creating a hard
requirement.  For example, a library may provide alternative
implementations depending on whether the ``cxx_variadic_templates``
feature is available:

.. code-block:: c++

  #if Foo_COMPILER_CXX_VARIADIC_TEMPLATES
  template<int I, int... Is>
  struct Interface;

  template<int I>
  struct Interface<I>
  {
    static int accumulate()
    {
      return I;
    }
  };

  template<int I, int... Is>
  struct Interface
  {
    static int accumulate()
    {
      return I + Interface<Is...>::accumulate();
    }
  };
  #else
  template<int I1, int I2 = 0, int I3 = 0, int I4 = 0>
  struct Interface
  {
    static int accumulate() { return I1 + I2 + I3 + I4; }
  };
  #endif

Such an interface depends on using the correct preprocessor defines for the
compiler features.  CMake can generate a header file containing such
defines using the :module:`WriteCompilerDetectionHeader` module.  The
module contains the ``write_compiler_detection_header`` function which
accepts parameters to control the content of the generated header file:

.. code-block:: cmake

  write_compiler_detection_header(
    FILE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/foo_compiler_detection.h"
    PREFIX Foo
    COMPILERS GNU
    FEATURES
      cxx_variadic_templates
  )

Such a header file may be used internally in the source code of a project,
and it may be installed and used in the interface of library code.

For each feature listed in ``FEATURES``, a preprocessor definition
is created in the header file, and defined to either ``1`` or ``0``.

Additionally, some features call for additional defines, such as the
``cxx_final`` and ``cxx_override`` features. Rather than being used in
``#ifdef`` code, the ``final`` keyword is abstracted by a symbol
which is defined to either ``final``, a compiler-specific equivalent, or
to empty.  That way, C++ code can be written to unconditionally use the
symbol, and compiler support determines what it is expanded to:

.. code-block:: c++

  struct Interface {
    virtual void Execute() = 0;
  };

  struct Concrete Foo_FINAL {
    void Execute() Foo_OVERRIDE;
  };

In this case, ``Foo_FINAL`` will expand to ``final`` if the
compiler supports the keyword, or to empty otherwise.

In this use-case, the project code may wish to enable a particular language
standard if available from the compiler. The :prop_tgt:`CXX_STANDARD`
target property may be set to the desired language standard for a particular
target, and the :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` variable may be set to
influence all following targets:

.. code-block:: cmake

  write_compiler_detection_header(
    FILE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/foo_compiler_detection.h"
    PREFIX Foo
    COMPILERS GNU
    FEATURES
      cxx_final cxx_override
  )

  # Includes foo_compiler_detection.h and uses the Foo_FINAL symbol
  # which will expand to 'final' if the compiler supports the requested
  # CXX_STANDARD.
  add_library(foo foo.cpp)
  set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 11)

  # Includes foo_compiler_detection.h and uses the Foo_FINAL symbol
  # which will expand to 'final' if the compiler supports the feature,
  # even though CXX_STANDARD is not set explicitly.  The requirement of
  # cxx_constexpr causes CMake to set CXX_STANDARD internally, which
  # affects the compile flags.
  add_library(foo_impl foo_impl.cpp)
  target_compile_features(foo_impl PRIVATE cxx_constexpr)

The ``write_compiler_detection_header`` function also creates compatibility
code for other features which have standard equivalents.  For example, the
``cxx_static_assert`` feature is emulated with a template and abstracted
via the ``<PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT`` and ``<PREFIX>_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG``
function-macros.
