Feature/add cmake #420

ClausKlein · 2019-08-18T10:07:34Z

this fix #128

I added a .clang-tidy file too. It can be used with cmake while compiling
or as post compile check.

The default compile options are: clang++ -std=c++17 -Wpedantic -Werror

My last compile log is included, see build-with-clang-tidy.log

see too:

https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/index.html

The coanan package is created with cmake and tested with ctest

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 124 Total Test time (real) = 60.04 sec

With boost, we can't be pedantic!

prepare .clang-format config fille too

be pedantic by default

fix compile error with socks4 demo; tidy the example CMakeLists.txt; tidy the invocation demo too;

modernize cmake for ccache usage for project asio

…into feature/add_cmake

install asio libray too and export it interface

too change default option: disable handler tracking

FATAL_ERROR has been a no-op for the longest time. Please read the docs:

Put this in a superbuild CML, not the project CML. ALternatively, just let people decide whether they want to pass this in from the CLI.

why waste time with compiling?

NO, it is optional!

Yes, this patch is very old.
I will modernise it!

Nitpick, but it's completely unnecessary to break things out like this. I shouldn't have to dive through a bunch of files just to see all the usage and build requirements.

asio/CMakeLists.txt

+  DESTINATION ${ConfigPackageLocation})
+install(EXPORT asio-targets
+  DESTINATION ${ConfigPackageLocation}
+  NAMESPACE asio::)


There are many things wrong with these install rules:

Drop configure_package_config_file, you just need a simple config file that you install directly.

You are missing install components. If a user vendors the library then it becomes impossible to tell this library's files apart from his. Since this is a header only library, everything can go in the asio_Development install component.

Where is the include directory installed?

And some nitpicks:

write_basic_package_version_file will pick up the version from the project command and the default output location of the file is already in the current build directory, they just add noise here.

ConfigPackageLocation should be asio_INSTALL_CMAKEDIR, which is a string cache variable marked as advanced. Makes it trivial to relocate the config files for package managers like vcpkg.

+check_required_components(asio)
+
+include(CMakeFindDependencyMacro)
+find_dependency(OpenSSL QUIET)


This is wrong, you must find dependencies before you make the targets available. The purpose of find_dependency is to forward arguments from the calling find_package command as well. This file should just be:

include(CMakeFindDependencyMacro) find_dependency(OpenSSL) include("${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/asioTargets.cmake")

See my other comment about htis file not requiring configuration.

+  add_subdirectory(cpp03)
+else()

+endif()


This check is unnecessary. Just include the find_package(Boost REQUIRED) call in the cpp03 subproject. If boost is really needed, then the absence of boost is a hard error, not a warning.

Maybe, but asI said cpp03 is historic!

I have reviewed this PR and there are many things that must be improved.

If you want to learn and see how things should be done in CMake, then please take a look at my recent GitHub forks and PRs.

If you want to learn and see how things should be done in CMake, then please take a look at my recent GitHub forks and PRs.

If you have time and interest, you may provide a patch for this patch.

Or better, create a new one, simply and clean, use only modern cmake!

And it must work on all OS and with most modern compilers.
c++17 and c++20 only, forget the remaining, forward to future!

And please, merge it than.
