==== Changes Related to manifests ====
* Add the `manifests` feature flag
* This only says whether we look for a `vcpkg.json` in the cwd, not
whether we support parsing manifests (for ports, for example)
* Changes to the manifests RFC
* `"authors"` -> `"maintainers"`
* `--x-classic-mode` -> `-manifests` \in `vcpkg_feature_flags`
* reserve `"core"` in addition to `"default"`, since that's already
reserved for features
* Add a small helper note about what identifiers must look like
* `<license-string>`: SPDX v3.8 -> v3.9
* `"feature"."description"` is allowed to be an array of strings as well
* `"version"` -> `"version-string"` for forward-compat with versions
RFC
* Add the `--feature-flags` option
* Add the ability to turn off feature flags via passing
`-<feature-flag>` to `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS` or `--feature-flags`
* Add CMake toolchain support for manifests
* Requires either:
* a feature flag of `manifests` in either `Env{VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS}`
or `VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS`
* Passing the `VCPKG_ENABLE_MANIFESTS` option
* The toolchain will install your packages to
`${VCPKG_MANIFEST_DIR}/vcpkg_installed`.
* Add MSBuild `vcpkg integrate install` support for manifests
* Requires `VcpkgEnableManifest` to be true
* `vcpkg create` creates a port that has a `vcpkg.json` instead of a
`CONTROL`
* argparse, abseil, 3fd, and avisynthplus ports switched to manifest
from CONTROL
* Add support for `--x-manifest-root`, as well as code for finding it if
not passed
* Add support for parsing manifests!
* Add a filesystem lock!
==== Important Changes which are somewhat unrelated to manifests ====
* Rename `logicexpression.{h,cpp}` to `platform-expression.{h,cpp}`
* Add `PlatformExpression` type which takes the place of the old logic
expression
* Split the parsing of platform expressions from checking whether
they're true or not
* Eagerly parse PlatformExpressions as opposed to leaving them as
strings
* Add checking for feature flag consistency
* i.e., if `-binarycaching` is passed, you shouldn't be passing
`--binarysource`
* Add the `Json::Reader` type which, with the help of user-defined
visitors, converts JSON to your internal type
* VcpkgArgParser: place the switch names into a constant as opposed to
using magic constants
* In general update the parsing code so that this ^ works
* Add `Port-Version` fields to CONTROL files
* This replaces the existing practice of
`Version: <my-version>-<port-version>`
==== Smaller changes ====
* small drive-by cleanups to some CMake
* `${_VCPKG_INSTALLED_DIR}/${VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET}` ->
`${CURRENT_INSTALLED_DIR}`
* Remove `-analyze` when compiling with clang-cl, since that's not a
supported flag (vcpkg's build system)
* Add a message about which compiler is detected by vcpkg's build
system machinery
* Fix `Expected::then`
* Convert `""` to `{}` for `std::string` and `fs::path`, to avoid a
`strlen` (additionally, `.empty()` instead of `== ""`, and `.clear()`)
* Add `Strings::strto` which converts strings to numeric types
* Support built-in arrays and `StringView` for `Strings::join`
* Add `operator<` and friends to `StringView`
* Add `substr` to `StringView`
* SourceParagraphParser gets some new errors
* [vcpkg metrics] start using json library
Additionally, add floats to the JSON library since they're required.
* [vcpkg metrics] allow users to disable metrics after the build
Additionally, as a drive by, fix UUID generation
* fix metrics data
* code review
This command takes a list of ports, and causes the final state of the
installed directory to be as-if one ran the install on an empty
installed directory (removing any unnecessary packages).
This is especially useful with the new `--x-install-root` option, which
allows one to set the `installed` directory for vcpkg to use.
Additionally, as a drive-by, we do some `stdfs` clean-up and add a
`.is_feature()` member function to BinaryParagraph (as opposed to
checking for `.feature().empty()`, which is far less clear to read).
This feature is experimental.
* Add support for building with MinGW
Tested with MSYS2 MinGW 8.3.0, gcc-mcf.lhmouse MinGW 9.2.1,
and StephanTLavavej/mingw-distro!
* Add MinGW toolchain
From your MinGW configured shell you could just use vcpkg to
configure packages.
An x64-mingw triplet would look like:
```
set(VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE x64)
set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
set(VCPKG_ENV_PASSTHROUGH PATH)
set(VCPKG_CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME MinGW)
```
* Add MinGW community tripplets
x64 tested with https://github.com/StephanTLavavej/mingw-distro
x86, arm64, arm tested with https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw
* Move untested triplets to Community Triplets
* Document community triplets
* Load community triplets by default and alert when using one
* [triplets] Merge documentation of community triplets
* Bump version
- Add the "VCPKG_DEVELOPMENT_WARNINGS" flag
- setting "WERROR" will also set this flag
- This flag is set by default
- on GCC/clang, this will pass '-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Werror'
- on GCC, this will additionally pass '-Wmissing-declarations'
- on clang, this will additionally pass '-Wmissing-prototypes'
- on MSVC, this will pass '-W4 -WX'
- On Visual Studio 2017 and later, pass '-permissive-'
- Change the source for fallout of these changes
- add `format` subcommand
- formats all C++ source and header files using clang-format
- move `include/vcpkg-test/catch.h` to `include/catch2/catch.hpp`
- pass CONFIGURE_DEPENDS to file(GLOB)
I added benchmarks to measure how fast the parallel remove_all code was
-- it turns out, about 3x slower than stdfs::remove_all. Since this was
the case, I removed all of the parallelism and rewrote it serially, and
ended up about 30% faster than stdfs::remove_all (in addition to
supporting symlinks).
In addition, I did the following three orthogonal changes:
- simplified the work queue, basing it on Billy O'Neal's idea
- Fix warnings on older versions of compilers in tests, by splitting
the pragmas out of pch.h.
- Ran clang-format on some files
In fixing up remove_all, the following changes were made:
- On Windows, regular symlinks and directory symlinks are distinct;
as an example, to remove directory symlinks (and junctions, for that
matter), one must use RemoveDirectory. Only on Windows, I added new
`file_type` and `file_status` types, with `file_type` including a new
`directory_symlink` enumerator, and `file_status` being exactly the
same as the old one except using the new `file_type`. On Unix, I
didn't make that change since they don't make a distinction.
- I added new `symlink_status` and `status` functions which use the
new `file_status` on Windows.
- I made `Filesystem::exists` call `fs::exists(status(p))`, as opposed
to the old version which called `stdfs::exists` directly.
- Added benchmarks to `vcpkg-test/files.cpp`. They test the
performance of `remove_all` on small directories (~20 files), with
symlinks and without, and on large directories (~2000 files), with
symlinks and without.
* Allow redirection of the scripts folder with an environment variable.
* - Updated feature from environment variable to argument.
* Fix crash when no scripts override is given and use --scripts-root=<PATH> format
* Update help messages to use --scripts-root=<PATH> format
lld on Linux can now process #pragma comment(lib, "foo") macros which
results in build failures on Linux when lld is used. Fix this by
protecting these macros with _WIN32 checks.
