cmake/cmake-builder.ps1 added quotes to arguments that contained spaces,
so that arguments printed correctly for progress output. This introduced
excess quotes that caused CMake (and likely other MS apps) confusion or
argument misinterpretation.
Instead of CMake seeing a single "Visual Studio 17 2022", CMake was
actually seeing "\"Visual Studio 17 2022\"".
This patch only adds the additional quotes when reporting progress or
emitting debug output. Otherwise, command line arguments are passed
unmolested.
Issue #294: "apple silicon build problem(s?)": If the "--flavor/-f" flag
is not specified on the command line, then complain loudly, print help
and exit. The script used to default to "Unix Makefiles".
Updates:
- Add missing "-DHAVE_LIBPNG" compiler command line define when the PNG
library is detected/present for screen capture support.
- Add "clang64" to the list of MinGW64 platforms for which the
.travis/deps.sh script can install build dependencies.
- Add PThread4W_FOUND to the condition that sets async I/O for Win32
when using vcpkg for build dependencies.
- Add vs2022-x64, vs2019-x64 and vs2017-x64 build environments to
build 64-bit Windows executables.
- Use simulator AIO only where needed by the simulator (i.e., the
simulator calls/uses AIO_CHECK_EVENT in sim_instr())
- Add "USES_AIO" flag to add_simulator() to mark a simulator that
acutally uses asynchronous I/O.
- Build "_aio" SIMH core library variants that have AIO turned on,
link with the "_aio" variant when a simulator sets USES_AIO.
- Emit a warning message when WITH_ASYNC is False (CMake configuration
option) to notify the user/developer that some functionality will be
crippled.
Affected simulator builds: 3b2 family, PDP-6, PDP-11, VAX family,
IMLAC and TT2500. The makefile and cmake/generate.py also updated
to remain in sync with CMake.
N.B.: Simulators still link with the underlying platform's threading
library. SEL32 requires pthreads or equivalent threading library,
independent of AIO.
- cmake/cmake-builder.sh
- New "--no-aio" flag: Build simulators without async I/O.
- New "--no-aio-intrinsics" flag: Don't build async I/O using compiler
compare-exchange, atomic load intrinsics.
- cmake/cmake-builder.ps1
- New "-noaio" flag: Build simulators without async I/O.
- New "-noaiointrinsics" flag: Don't build async I/O using compiler
compare-exchange, atomic load intrinsics.
CMake 3.28.1 INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES behavior change: The file name
must now be an absolute path. Relative paths no longer accepted.
Internally, SIMH enforces this if CMAKE_VERSION >= 3.19, when REAL_PATH
was first implemented.
Two updates suggested by Paul Koning:
- Enable building multiple simulator targets using a comma-separated list,
e.g.: pdp8,pdp11,3b2
- Unconditionally clean CMake's cache each time the script is invoked.
This eliminates confusing CMake configuration messages when CMake
changes or updates, and CMake policies change.
The most recent policy change was IMPORT_LOCATION, which is now
mandatory for interface libraries. An old CMake configuration cache
doesn't reflect the import library IMPORT_LOCATION property, which
caused confusing warning messages. The cure is removing the old cache
and reconfiguring.
* CMake build infrastructure
The squashed commit that builds and packages releases for the SIMH
simulator suite with CMake, version 3.14 or newer.
See README-CMake.md for documentation.
