Patrick Steinhardt 8341d6cf 2017-07-04T10:57:28 cmake: move regcomp and futimens checks to "features.h" In our CMakeLists.txt, we have to check multiple functions in order to determine if we have to use our own or whether we can use the platform-provided one. For two of these functions, namely `regcomp_l()` and `futimens`, the defined macro is actually used inside of the header file "src/unix/posix.h". As such, these macros are not only required by the library, but also by our test suite, which is makes use of internal headers. To prepare for the CMakeLists.txt split, move these two defines inside of the "features.h" header.
Patrick Steinhardt a390a846 2017-07-01T13:06:00 cmake: move defines into "features.h" header In a future commit, we will split out the build instructions for our library directory and move them into a subdirectory. One of the benefits is fixing scoping issues, where e.g. defines do not leak to build targets where they do not belong to. But unfortunately, this does also pose the problem of how to propagate some defines which are required by both the library and the test suite. One way would be to create another variable keeping track of all added defines and declare it inside of the parent scope. While this is the most obvious and simplest way of going ahead, it is kind of unfortunate. The main reason to not use this is that these defines become implicit dependencies between the build targets. By simply observing a define inside of the CMakeLists.txt file, one cannot reason whether this define is only required by the current target or whether it is required by different targets, as well. Another approach would be to use an internal header file keeping track of all defines shared between targets. While configuring the library, we will set various variables and let CMake configure the file, adding or removing defines based on what has been configured. Like this, one can easily keep track of the current environment by simply inspecting the header file. Furthermore, these dependencies are becoming clear inside the CMakeLists.txt, as instead of simply adding a define, we now call e.g. `SET(GIT_THREADSAFE 1)`. Having this header file though requires us to make sure it is always included before any "#ifdef"-preprocessor checks are executed. As we have already refactored code to always include the "common.h" header file before any statement inside of a file, this becomes easy: just make sure "common.h" includes the new "features.h" header file first.
