Edit File: CMakeAddNewLanguage.txt

This file provides a few notes to CMake developers about how to add support for a new language to CMake. It is also possible to place these files in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH within an outside project to add languages not supported by upstream CMake. However, this is not a fully supported use case. The implementation behind the scenes of project/enable_language, including the compiler/platform modules, is an *internal* API that does not make any compatibility guarantees. It is not covered in the official reference documentation that is versioned with the source code. Maintainers of external language support are responsible for porting it to each version of CMake as upstream changes are made. Since the API is internal we will not necessarily include notice of any changes in release notes. CMakeDetermine(LANG)Compiler.cmake -> this should find the compiler for LANG and configure CMake(LANG)Compiler.cmake.in CMake(LANG)Compiler.cmake.in -> used by CMakeDetermine(LANG)Compiler.cmake This file is used to store compiler information and is copied down into try compile directories so that try compiles do not need to re-determine and test the LANG CMakeTest(LANG)Compiler.cmake -> test the compiler and set: SET(CMAKE_(LANG)_COMPILER_WORKS 1 CACHE INTERNAL "") CMake(LANG)Information.cmake -> set up rule variables for LANG : CMAKE_(LANG)_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY CMAKE_(LANG)_CREATE_SHARED_MODULE CMAKE_(LANG)_CREATE_STATIC_LIBRARY CMAKE_(LANG)_COMPILE_OBJECT CMAKE_(LANG)_LINK_EXECUTABLE
