Since commit de2afc5d53 (cmMakeFile: Remove source groups argument from
`FindSourceGroup`, 2025-11-07, v4.3.0-rc1~414^2~2) we share source group
assignments across targets to avoid copying and repeated work. However,
the VS 7 generator, still used for Fortran, relies on per-target
per-group source lists. Build them specifically for that case.
The deprecated Eclipse CDT4 extra generator had the same regression,
so fix it too.
Fixes: #27779
Since commit de2afc5d53 (cmMakeFile: Remove source groups argument from

assignments across targets to avoid copying and repeated work. Fix the
VS 7 generator, still used for Fortran, to avoid assuming that all
source group members are in the current target.

Two targets whose names differ only in a `.exe` suffix create a
conflict when adding target- and file-level dependencies for a custom
command. Add CMP0212 to provide compatibility with the old behavior.
Issue: #27612
Previously, `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS` was an undocumented variable used
for linking executables only. Re-spell that variable mirroring the
existing spellings for shared and module libraries, and add policy
CMP0210 to preserve compatibility.
Then, repurpose `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS` to provide a variable to be
used for per-language link flags for all target types, along with a
per-configuration variant. These are added to the `<LINK_FLAGS>` rule
placeholder in the generators.

Introduce an index from source file to source group in
`cmLocalGenerator` to make lookups significantly more efficient
during the source group generation, which could be particularly
slow when dealing with thousands of source files.
Falls back to the recursive lookup when the source file is not present
on the index, which is more likely to happen when dealing with
regex-based sources.
Fixes: #27359
Visual Studio defines this automatically for `.dll` targets.
For consistency, define it when compiling for the MSVC ABI
with other generators. Add policy CMP0203 for compatibility.
Fixes: #27253
Not just short directory roots. The test suites did an improper
generator check and masked them as the generator masks were put in place
after the core development but before the autogen-specific logic tests
were created.
This change has no impact because the incorrect XML is technically
valid and the Fortran VS extension ignores the ProjectGUID attribute
anyway.
Fixes: #11437
Run the `clang-format.bash` script to update all our C and C++ code to a
new style defined by `.clang-format`, now with "east const" enforcement.
Use `clang-format` version 18.

Adds the ``--project-file`` command-line option to modify the default script
name loaded by CMake and ``add_subdirectory`` to values other than
``CMakeLists.txt``.
Fixes: #21570
Add a way to specify, in a portable way, to raise an error for any
warning during the link step. For that purpose, define:
* CMAKE_LINK_WARNING_AS_ERROR variable
* LINK_WARNING_AS_ERROR target property
Fixes: #25343
Offer the capability, through variable `CMAKE_LINKER_TYPE`, as well as
the target property `LINKER_TYPE` to specify which linker must be used.
The implementation of this capability is specified by variables specific
to the language and linker type: `CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_<TYPE>`.
Some definitions are provided as part of `CMake`.
For example, to select the `LLVM` linker rather than the standard one,
the type `LLD` should be specified through the variable `CMAKE_LINKER_TYPE`.
And, on `Apple`, `Linux` and some environments on `Windows`, the variable
`CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_LLD` has value `-fuse-ld=lld`. And for `Windows`
environments based on `MSVC`, where the linker is used directly, the tool
`lld-link.exe` will be used rather than `link.exe`.

After b665966933 (cmComputeLinkInformation: track `OBJECT` library
dependencies, 2023-07-22), introduced in !8645 as a fix for #25112,
`OBJECT` libraries were tracked in a separate member to reduce the risk
of further regressions. This commit prepares consumers to handle
`OBJECT` libraries once they start appearing as link items.
When the build system re-runs `cmake` to regenerate itself, preserve the
`--compile-no-warning-as-error` option if it was used when `cmake` was
last explicitly invoked. Normally such settings are preserved in the
cache, but the purpose of this option is to be beyond the reach of
project code.
