Prepare Compiler-RT for GnuInstallDirs, matching libcxx, document all
This is a second attempt at D101497, which landed as 9a9bc76c0eb72f0f2732c729a460abbd5239c2e3 but had to be reverted in 8cf7ddbdd4e5af966a369e170c73250f2e3920e7. This issue was that in the case that `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` is empty, expressions like "${COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH}/bin" evaluated to "/bin" not "bin" as intended and as was originally. One solution is to make `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` always non-empty, defaulting it to `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`. D99636 adopted that approach. But, I think it is more ergonomic to allow those project-specific paths to be relative the global ones. Also, making install paths absolute by default inhibits the proper behavior of functions like `GNUInstallDirs_get_absolute_install_dir` which make relative install paths absolute in a more complicated way. Given all this, I will define a function like the one asked for in https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/19568 (and needed for a similar use-case). --- Original message: Instead of using `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` through the CMake for complier-rt, just use it to define variables for the subdirs which themselves are used. This preserves compatibility, but later on we might consider getting rid of `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` and just changing the defaults for the subdir variables directly. --- There was a seaming bug where the (non-Apple) per-target libdir was `${target}` not `lib/${target}`. I suspect that has to do with the docs on `COMPILER_RT_INSTALL_PATH` saying was the library dir when that's no longer true, so I just went ahead and fixed it, allowing me to define fewer and more sensible variables. That last part should be the only behavior changes; everything else should be a pure refactoring. --- I added some documentation of these variables too. In particular, I wanted to highlight the gotcha where `-DSomeCachePath=...` without the `:PATH` will lead CMake to make the path absolute. See [1] for discussion of the problem, and [2] for the brief official documentation they added as a result. [1]: https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2015-March/060204.html [2]: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html#options In 38b2dec37ee735d5409148e71ecba278caf0f969 the problem was somewhat misidentified and so `:STRING` was used, but `:PATH` is better as it sets the correct type from the get-go. --- D99484 is the main thrust of the `GnuInstallDirs` work. Once this lands, it should be feasible to follow both of these up with a simple patch for compiler-rt analogous to the one for libcxx.
