Fix the version check from commit 0aeeb8160c (CUDA: Add support for
cuda_std_20 for nvcc 12.0+, 2022-12-09, v3.25.2~21^2). Align the
minimum version of MSVC for supporting C++20 through `nvcc` with the
version present in `MSVC-CXX.cmake` .
Introduce a mechanism (via the private and undocumented `ISSUE_WARNING`
option to the `cmake_policy` command) to allow built-in modules to issue
policy warnings. Update modules to use this.
This allows modules to issue policy warnings with the `CMD_POLICY`
diagnostic type, which is consistent with internally issued diagnostics.
This also tends to simplify the logic for issuing such warnings in much
the way the helpers introduced in the previous commit did for the C++
code.
On most platforms we create shared libraries with `-shared` by default,
but on AIX we add `-Wl,-bnoipath` before the default is applied.
Explicitly specify `-shared` for LLVMFlang instead.
Also add compilation flags for position-independent code.
Fixes: #27818
The path-detection routine which sets a default value for
'CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULES_JSON' is too strict. If the variable is
already set then no additional detection is needed by cmake.
This is relevant when compiling with clang and linking against
Microsoft's STL.
Significant changes on the next major version of the IAR compiler
required some changes in CMake:
- __IAR_COMPILERBASE__ offers a fine grained versioning option
in comparisom with __IAR_SYSTEMS_ICC__, which only referred
to the IAR internal platform version.
- C++20 Language support added for Arm (v10.10.1+), where libc++
is used by default.
The `nagfor` compiler driver does not invoke the linker directly.
Instead it runs the system C compiler driver, which then invokes the
linker. Passing `@` to NAG Fortran expands the response file before
it reaches the linker, which might lead to too long linker lines.
`-Wl,@`, used since commit 10d6c3a635 (NAG: Pass response files
through front-end to the linker, 2018-08-01, v3.13.0-rc1~244^2), can
lead to wrong placement of the response file on the linker line and
doesn't work at all when the response file is the only object file
passed to the NAG Fortran frontend.
Instead use `-xldarg @` to pass a response file through to the linker
without any intermediate expansion. However, the response file
generated by Ninja can contain flags meant for the compiler driver,
so we need to disable response files for these flags altogether.
Fixes: #23577
Since commit 10d6c3a635 (NAG: Pass response files through front-end to
the linker, 2018-08-01, v3.13.0-rc1~244^2) we use `-Wl,@` instead of `@`
in order to pass the response file through the `nagfor` compiler driver
to the linker. However, this is not needed for the archiver. Create
a separate rule variable so we can use different response file flags
for archiving and linking.
Issue: #23577
Add bare minimum functionality to compile C code and link on Windows.
Explicitly label tests that are expected to work with `CFLAGS=-Ze`.
Leave out documentation for now because this is not usable in general.

Since commit 4a4986d28a (cxxmodules: support command templates for BMI
compilation, 2026-03-25, v4.3.1~2^2~1) we can express module interface
unit compilation to either object files or BMI-only in a way that works
with `clang-scan-deps` and `clang-cl` together.

4a4986d28a cxxmodules: support command templates for BMI compilation

Some compilers (Clang) warn when using their BMI-only flag with `-c`.
Support a complete template for BMI compilation rather than an
additional flag to support such toolchains.

Before it would result in us writing the unescaped backslashes to
`CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake` resulting in invalid escape characters causing
the configure to error out.
Several problems with this feature came up while testing 4.3.0-rc1.
These include both broken stdlib distributions and regressions in our
implementation of the feature since CMake 4.2.
Revert commit 70c1f0f43d (Experimental: Remove import std experimental
gate, 2026-02-04, v4.3.0-rc1~61^2) except for its incidental fixes.
Remove the 4.3 release notes related to `import std`.
Rotate the experimental gate's UUID.

And change checks to look for a value rather than definition. This fix
keeps the same set of test cases in `RunCMake.CXXModules` selected as
before.

Previously, `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS` was an undocumented variable used
for linking executables only. Re-spell that variable mirroring the
existing spellings for shared and module libraries, and add policy
CMP0210 to preserve compatibility.
Then, repurpose `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS` to provide a variable to be
used for per-language link flags for all target types, along with a
per-configuration variant. These are added to the `<LINK_FLAGS>` rule
placeholder in the generators.

In flang, both -J and -module-dir support both joined and separate values. For
the -J option, these are of the form `-J<value>` and `-J <value>` respectively.
Once https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/168748 is committed, -module-dir
will only work with a separate value. Setting CMAKE_Fortran_MODDIR_FLAG to -J
ensures that both joined and separate styles will continue to work after that
change is made. As far as behavior is concerned, both -J and -module-dir are
aliases.
Adds a parser and serializer for the EcoStd Module Metadata format
RFC: https://github.com/ecostd/rfcs/pull/3
This adapts the existing experimental support for import std; to use
the new parser. The CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULES_JSON is now the canonical
variable for controlling how CMake discovers the stdlib module metadata,
and is used directly by compiler detection.
Toolchains can still override the __CMAKE::CXX## targets if they wish,
either in conjunction with CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULE_JSON or not. It is
possible to disable automatic detection of
CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULE_JSON by setting it to the empty string.
When available, the CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULE_JSON will be used to create
all requested C++ stdlibs which do not already have targets.
Some deployments may not be able to discover the metadata file reliably
(e.g., custom `clang` builds on macOS while using the SDK's stdlib or
distribution bugs). Allow users to force the location so that
compiler-driven detection doesn't have to bend over backwards for
unforeseen bugs.
Although there is no `cl -std:c23` flag, the underlying Clang compiler
does have a C23 mode we can activate by passing `-std=c23` through a
`clang-cl` wrapper flag.
Also port the fix from commit 30139913e9 (VS: Restore support for mixing
C++23 and C in one target with clang-cl, 2024-12-09, v3.31.3~10^2).
