Modules: Refactor compile features and GNU language standard flags
Refactor various modules as was previously done in !9314 (merged).
These commits originally existed as part of that MR. However, it was requested that these changes be moved into a new MR for testing purposes. Specifically, the following changes have been made:
-
The
cmake_determine_compile_features()
macro has been renamed tocmake_determine_compiler_support()
, and is now located in${CMAKE_ROOT}\Modules\CMakeDetermineCompilerSupport.cmake
. (The name of the macro has been changed because the changes in !9314 (merged) expand it to also attempt to define other variables related to language support.) -
The method used to define the various
CMAKE_<LANG><STANDARD>_STANDARD_COMPILE_OPTION
andCMAKE_<LANG><STANDARD>_EXTENSION_COMPILE_OPTION
variables for GCC has been changed. The${CMAKE_ROOT}\Modules\Compiler\GNU.cmake
script now includes two new macros, called__compiler_gnu_c_standards()
and__compiler_gnu_cxx_standards()
. These are used to define the relevant compile option variables for C- and C++-based languages, respectively. (This change was motivated by the need to specify language support for Objective C and Objective C++ for !9314 (merged).)
