v0.6.2

Added

• Added output for CMake's implicitly added link libraries and directories.

Changed

• OpenMP target now uses a generator expression for Fortran flags instead of replacing flags in
  Fortran targets created with BLT macros.
• Remove setting CMP0076 to OLD which left relative paths in target_sources() instead of altering
  them to absolute paths.
• Header-only libraries headers now show up under their own target in IDE project views instead of
  under downstream targets. This only works in CMake >= 3.19, otherwise they will not show up at all.
• Raised version for base CMake version supported by BLT to 3.15 to support ALIAS targets across BLT.

v0.6.1

Fixed

• Turned off GoogleTest finding Python

v0.6.0

Added

• Added support for C++23. Note: XL and PGI do not support C++23.
• Adds a clang_tidy_style CMake target to allow clang-tidy to fix errors in-place.
  This requires a CLANGAPPLYREPLACEMENTS_EXECUTABLE CMake variable to point to
  the clang-apply-replacements executable in addition to the CLANGTIDY_EXECUTABLE.
  Also adds a corresponding ENABLE_CLANGAPPLYREPLACEMENTS CMake option.
  Note that the clang_tidy_style target is not added to the style target and must be run separately.
• Added the blt_install_tpl_setups macro, which installs files to setup and create
  targets for the third-party libraries OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, and HIP. This macro is meant to
  replace blt_export_tpl_targets as the preferred way to setup third-party libraries with BLT.
• Added blt::`` namespaced aliases for BLT targets, cuda, cuda_runtime, mpi, and openmp. These targets still exist but but will be deprecated in a future release. It is recommended that you move to the new alias names, blt::cuda, blt::cuda_runtime, blt::mpi, and blt::openmp`

Changed

• SetupHIP now searches for user-defined or environment variables before CMake paths to find the ROCM_PATH.

Fixed

• Fixed infinite loop in blt_find_target_dependencies
• blt_check_code_compiles now works with alias targets

v0.5.3

[Version 0.5.3] - Release date 2023-06-05

Changed

• Updated Googletest to main from 04/13/2023.
  Commit: 12a5852e451baabc79c63a86c634912c563d57bc.
  Note: this version of Googletest requires C++14, and PGI is not supported. If you are using PGI, set ENABLE_GTEST OFF.
• Updated GoogleBenchmark to 1.8

Added

• Added blt_print_variables macro to print variables in current scope, with regex filtering on variable names and values
• Added DEPENDS_ON optional parameter to blt_check_code_compiles macro to allow for checking if a feature is available in a third-party imported target.
• Added CONFIGURATIONS and OMP_NUM_THREADS options to blt_add_benchmark

Fixed

• Guard HIP compiler flag --rocm-path=/path/to/rocm against Crayftn compiler earlier than 15.0.0.
• Fix doubling of INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES in blt_patch_target(... TREAT_INCLUDES_AS_SYSTEM true).

Removed

• Removed tracking all sources in a project via ${PROJECT_NAME}_ALL_SOURCES.

v0.5.2

Added

• Added blt_convert_to_system_includes macro to convert existing interface includes to system interface includes.
• blt_check_code_compiles which compiles a C++ code snippet and returns the result.
• Added variable BLT_CMAKE_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES_EXCLUDE for filtering
  link libraries implicitly added by CMake. See the following example host-config:
  host-configs/llnl/blueos_3_ppc64le_ib_p9/clang@upstream_nvcc_xlf.cmake

Changed

• Added three extra options to blt_print_target_properties macro to print properties of
  target's children as well as limit the properties printed with regular expressions:
  • CHILDREN (true/ false) whether or not you want to print the target's children's properties as well (recursively)
  • PROPERTY_NAME_REGEX (regular expression string) reduce which properties to print by name
  • PROPERTY_VALUE_REGEX (regular expression string) reduce which properties to print by value

v0.5.1

Added

• Added support for C++20. Note: XL does not support C++20.
  While PGI has C++20 support, it is currently disabled (A BLT fatal error will occur).
• BLT_CXX_STD now sets CMAKE_HIP_STANDARD, in CMake 3.21+, similar to CMAKE_CUDA_STANDARD.

Fixed

• Removed hard-coded -std=c++11 from various places related to CUDA flags. This now honors
  CMAKE_CUDA_STANDARD if set otherwise falls back on BLT_CXX_STD or CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD.
• Removed extra HIP offload flags that were being added as generator expressions as opposed to simple
  flags.

Removed

• Removed support for deprecated HCC.

v0.5.0

Added

• Added support for IntelLLVM compiler family to blt_append_custom_compiler_flag
• Added support for hip targets configured with cmake 3.21 native hip support
• Added blt_export_tpl_targets macro to add BLT-provided third-party library
  targets to an export set.

Changed

• BLT_C_FILE_EXTS updated to include .cuh
• Fold BLT_CLANG_HIP_ARCH into the CMAKE_HIP_ARCHITECTURES variable
• When using ENABLE_ALL_WARNINGS, append the flag to the beginning of CMAKE_{C,CXX}_FLAGS instead
  of the end
• HIP support now uses the hip-config.cmake file provided by ROCM. This
  modification requires a change to the BLT-provided HIP target names, and they
  are now available under the blt prefix: blt::hip and blt::hip_runtime.

Fixed

• Source code filename extension filtering now uses regular expressions to allow
  for more user customization and to improve handling of file names with multiple
  periods, e.g. 1d.cube.order2.c is considered a .c file.

v0.4.1

[Version 0.4.1] - Release date 2021-07-20

Added

• Added compilation of HIP with clang using ENABLE_CLANG_HIP and BLT_CLANG_HIP_ARCH

Changed

• XL: Use compiler flag -std=c++14 instead of -std=c++1y when BLT_CXX_STD is set to c++14

Fixed

• Simpified the clang-format version regex that was causing hangs on some version strings.

v0.4.0

[Version 0.4.0] - Release date 2021-04-09

Added

• Added variable BLT_CMAKE_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES_EXCLUDE for filtering
  link directories implicitly added by CMake. See the following example host-config:
  host-configs/llnl/blueos_3_ppc64le_ib_p9/clang@upstream_nvcc_c++17.cmake
• Added support for clang-tidy static analysis check
• Added ability to change the output name of an executable via the OUTPUT_NAME
  parameter of blt_add_executable
• Added user option for enforcing specific versions of autoformatters - the new options are
  BLT_REQUIRED_ASTYLE_VERSION, BLT_REQUIRED_CLANGFORMAT_VERSION, and BLT_REQUIRED_UNCRUSTIFY_VERSION
• Added HEADERS to blt_add_executable. This is important for build system dependency tracking
  and IDE folder support.
• Added support for formatting Python code using YAPF.
• Added new blt_import_library macro that creates a real CMake target for imported libraries,
  intended to be used instead of blt_register_library whenever possible
• Added new blt_patch_target macro to simplify modifying properties of an existing CMake target.
  This macro accounts for known differences in compilers, target types, and CMake releases.
• Added support for formatting CMake code using cmake-format.
• Added an EXPORTABLE option to blt_import_library that allows imported libraries to be
  added to an export set and installed.
• Added FRUIT's MPI parallel unit test reporting to BLT's internal copy of FRUIT
• CUDA device links for object libraries can be enabled with the existing CUDA_RESOLVE_DEVICE_SYMBOLS
  target property.

Changed

• MPI Support when using CMake 3.13 and newer: MPI linker flags are now passed
  as single string prefixed by SHELL: to prevent de-duplication of flags
  passed to target_link_options.
• For HIP-dependent builds, only add HCC include directory if it exists.
• HIP CMake utilities updated to AMD's latest version
• Updated add_code_coverage_target to blt_add_code_coverage_target, which now supports
  user-specified source directories
• Code coverage targets leave LCOV-generated files intact for later use; these files will
  still be removed by make clean

Fixed

• ClangFormat checks now support multiple Python executable names
• Prefixed blt_register_library() internal variables with _ to avoid collision
  with input parameters.
• Turn off system includes for registered libraries when using the PGI compiler
• Removed unneeded SYSTEM includes added by googletest that was causing problems
  in PGI builds (BLT was adding them already to the register library calls)
• Removed variable BLT_CMAKE_CUDA_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES_EXCLUDE, functionality now
  provided for all languages using BLT_CMAKE_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES_EXCLUDE variable
• ClangQuery was being auto-enabled in cases where no checker directories where defined.
  This caused a crash. blt_add_clang_query_target learned parameter CHECKER_DIRECTORIES
  and blt_add_code_checks learned parameter CLANGQUERY_CHECKER_DIRECTORIES. Both still
  respect BLT_CLANGQUERY_CHECKER_DIRECTORIES.
• It is now a fatal error to supply CLANGFORMAT_CFG_FILE plus
  ASTYLE_CFG_FILE or UNCRUSTIFY_CFG_FILE arguments to
  blt_add_code_checks; previously, these combinations were implied to
  be errors in BLT documentation, but BLT would not return an error in
  those cases.
• blt_patch_target no longer attempts to set system include directories when a target
  has no include directories
• Header-only libraries now can have dependencies via DEPENDS_ON in blt_add_library
• Added a workaround for include directories of imported targets on PGI. CMake was
  erroneously marking them as SYSTEM but this is not supported by PGI.
• Check added to make sure that if HIP is enabled with fortran, the LINKER LANGUAGE
  is not changed back to Fortran.
• Executables that link to libraries that depend on hip/hip_runtime/cuda/cuda_runtime
  will automatically be linked with the HIP or CUDA (NVCC) linker
• Patched an issue with the FindHIP macros that added the inclusive scan of specified
  DEFINEs to compile commands
• Re-added previous OpenMP flag patching logic to maintain compatibility with BLT-registered libraries
