Globbing generally misses to pick up files which were added/deleted
after CMake's configure. This is a nuissance but can be alleviated using
CONFIGURE_DEPENDS (available since CMake 3.12) which adds a check for
new/deleted files before each compile and - if necessary - restarts the
configuration. On my system, the check takes < 0.1 sec.
(Side note: CONFIGURE_DEPENDS is not guaranteed to work accross all
generators, but at least it works for Ninja which everyone @CH seems to
use.)
Enable:
- bugprone-lambda-function-name: "Checks for attempts to get the name of
a function from within a lambda expression. The name of a lambda is
always something like operator(), which is almost never what was
intended."
- bugprone-unhandled-self-assignment: "Finds user-defined copy
assignment operators which do not protect the code against
self-assignment either by checking self-assignment explicitly or using
the copy-and-swap or the copy-and-move method.""
- hicpp-invalid-access-moved: "Warns if an object is used after it has
been moved."
- hicpp-use-noexcept: "This check replaces deprecated dynamic exception
specifications with the appropriate noexcept specification (introduced
in C++11)"
- hicpp-use-override: "Adds override (introduced in C++11) to overridden
virtual functions and removes virtual from those functions as it is
not required."
- performance-type-promotion-in-math-fn: "Finds calls to C math library
functions (from math.h or, in C++, cmath) with implicit float to
double promotions."
Split up:
- cppcoreguidelines-*. Some of them may be useful (haven't checked in
detail), therefore allow to toggle them individually.
Disable:
- linuxkernel-*. Obvious.
The check activated ccache unconditionally for all non-Clang compilers
(= GCC) while allowing ancient ccache versions for these. Perhaps there
was a reason for that in the past but it's simpler to only require a
minimum ccache version.
To simplify further, also require at least ccache 3.3 (released in 2016)
instead of 3.2.1 (released in 2014).
The compiler launcher (ccache, distcc) can be set externally via
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=<tool>. We previously silently ignored
this setting and continued without any launcher (e.g. ccache). Changed
this to now respect the externally specified launcher.
