[cmake-developers] Do all non-Windows host platforms support uname(3)
Hello,
recently I realized that most pre-defined CMake variables are not
available in scripting context. In my use case I had to identify a Linux
host system. Unfortunately only CMAKE_HOST_{APPLE,SOLARIS,UNIX,WIN32}
are available in scripting context.
I wondered if all supported host operating systems support the uname(3)
function call? If yes we could also make CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME in
scripting context.
A proof-of-concept patch is located here:

Thanks,
Gregor

It they are necessary at all, couldn't they be added in speculative batches of 10 or so? It would certainly be possible to add additional versions ahead of time. What would be more difficult are the component dependencies, which are needed for the imported targets. That said, the dependency introspection script can compute these on the fly, at the expense of taking several minutes to grind through all the sources and headers. We could potentially fall back to computing them if the embedded dependency information is missing, though it does make assumptions about the autolink macros in the headers--if they ever changed then it would need updating. Fundamentally, the current approach is an overly complicated hack to work around the fact that Boost has never exported this information in a form consumable by any build system, leading to projects hardcoding all this information (or doing it in a single place as here).
