The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=15544 ====================================================================== Reported By: Stephen Kelly Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15544 Category: CMake Reproducibility: have not tried Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-04-29 22:24 CEST Last Modified: 2015-04-29 22:24 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: Policy to require cmake_minimum_required() before project() Description:
If a project() command is not written in used code, cmake will generate one. When invoked, it sets up the toolchain. The cmake_minimum_required() command must appear before the project() command, so that the AppleClang compiler id may be set correctly, according to CMP0025. Policy CMP0000 requires that the cmake_minimum_required() command must be used. That policy could be set to REQUIRED_ALWAYS in CMake 4.0. However, there would still be no enforcement of requiring the project() command to come after that. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/9392 Additionally, issuing the commands in the wrong order means that use of the CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED variable in files read via project() is not what is expected. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/13094/focus=13120 A policy may be added requiring that the project() command be present and come after cmake_minimum_required(), and generating the project() only in OLD behavior. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-04-29 22:24 Stephen Kelly New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
