The cmake-format
project provides Quality Assurance (QA) tools
for cmake
:
cmake-annotate
can generate pretty HTML from your listfiles
cmake-format
can format your listfiles nicely so that they don't
look like crap.
cmake-lint
can check your listfiles for problems
ctest-to
can parse a ctest output tree and translate it into a
more structured format (either JSON or XML).

cmake-format [-h]
[--dump-config {yaml,json,python} | -i | -o OUTFILE_PATH]
[-c CONFIG_FILE]
infilepath [infilepath ...]
Parse cmake listfiles and format them nicely.
Formatting is configurable by providing a configuration file. The configuration
file can be in json, yaml, or python format. If no configuration file is
specified on the command line, cmake-format will attempt to find a suitable
configuration for each ``inputpath`` by checking recursively checking it's
parent directory up to the root of the filesystem. It will return the first
file it finds with a filename that matches '\.?cmake-format(.yaml|.json|.py)'.
cmake-format can spit out the default configuration for you as starting point
for customization. Run with `--dump-config [yaml|json|python]`.
positional arguments:
infilepaths
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
-l {error,warning,info,debug}, --log-level {error,warning,info,debug}
--dump-config [{yaml,json,python}]
If specified, print the default configuration to
stdout and exit
--dump {lex,parse,parsedb,layout,markup}
--no-help When used with --dump-config, will omit helptext
comments in the output
--no-default When used with --dump-config, will omit any unmodified

cmake-format
accepts configuration files in yaml, json, or python format.
An example configuration file is given in the online documentation
__.
Providing the structure of your custom commands will help cmake-format
to
break them up in a pleasant way, and will help cmake-lint
detect improper
usages of them.
.. __: https://cmake-format.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html
An example short configuration file in python format is:
.. code:: python
# -----------------------------
# Options effecting formatting.
# -----------------------------
with section("format"):
# How wide to allow formatted cmake files
line_width = 80
# How many spaces to tab for indent
tab_size = 2
# If true, separate flow control names from their parentheses with a space
separate_ctrl_name_with_space = False
# If true, separate function names from parentheses with a space
separate_fn_name_with_space = False
# If a statement is wrapped to more than one line, than dangle the closing
# parenthesis on its own line.
dangle_parens = False
You may specify a path to one or more configuration files with the
--config-file
command line option. Otherwise, cmake-format
will search
the ancestry of each infilepath
looking for a configuration file to use.
If no configuration file is found it will use sensible defaults.
A automatically detected configuration files may have any name that matches
\.?cmake-format(.yaml|.json|.py)
.
If you'd like to create a new configuration file, cmake-format
can help
by dumping out the default configuration in your preferred format. You can run
cmake-format --dump-config [yaml|json|python]
to print the default
configuration stdout
and use that as a starting point.
.. dynamic: features-begin
cmake-format
is for the exceptionally lazy. It will even format your
comments for you. It will reflow your comment text to within the configured
line width. It also understands a very limited markup format for a couple of
common bits.
rulers: A ruler is a line which starts with and ends with three or more non-alphanum or space characters::
# ---- This is a Ruler ----
# cmake-format will know to keep the ruler separated from the
# paragraphs around it. So it wont try to reflow this text as
# a single paragraph.
# ---- This is also a Ruler ---
list: A list is started on the first encountered list item, which starts
with a bullet character (*
) followed by a space followed by some text.
Subsequent lines will be included in the list item until the next list item
is encountered (the bullet must be at the same indentation level). The list
must be surrounded by a pair of empty lines. Nested lists will be formatted in
nested text::
# here are some lists:
#
# * item 1
# * item 2
#
# * subitem 1
# * subitem 2
#
# * second list item 1
# * second list item 2
enumerations: An enumeration is similar to a list but the bullet character
is some integers followed by a period. New enumeration items are detected as
long as either the first digit or the punctuation lines up in the same column
as the previous item. cmake-format
will renumber your items and align their
labels for you::
# This is an enumeration
#
# 1. item
# 2. item
# 3. item
fences: If you have any text which you do not want to be formatted you can guard it with a pair of fences. Fences are three or more tilde characters::
# ~~~
# This comment is fenced
# and will not be formatted
# ~~~
Note that comment fences guard reflow of comment text, and not cmake code. If you wish to prevent formatting of cmake, code, see below. In addition to fenced-literals, there are three other ways to preserve comment text from markup and/or reflow processing:
--first-comment-is-literal
configuration option will exactly preserve
the first comment in the file. This is intended to preserve copyright or
other formatted header comments.--literal-comment-pattern
configuration option allows for a more
generic way to identify comments which should be preserved literally. This
configuration takes a regular expression pattern.--enable-markup
configuration option globally enables comment markup
processing. It defaults to true so set it to false if you wish to globally
disable comment markup processing. Note that trailing whitespace is still
chomped from comments.You can locally disable and enable code formatting by using the special
comments # cmake-format: off
and # cmake-format: on
.
Starting with version 0.5.0
, cmake-format
can sort your argument lists
for you. If the configuration includes autosort=True
(the default), it
will replace::
add_library(foobar STATIC EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
sourcefile_06.cc
sourcefile_03.cc
sourcefile_02.cc
sourcefile_04.cc
sourcefile_07.cc
sourcefile_01.cc
sourcefile_05.cc)
with::
add_library(foobar STATIC EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
sourcefile_01.cc
sourcefile_02.cc
sourcefile_03.cc
sourcefile_04.cc
sourcefile_05.cc
sourcefile_06.cc
sourcefile_07.cc)
This is implemented for any argument lists which the parser knows are inherently sortable. This includes the following cmake commands:
add_library
add_executable
For most other cmake commands, you can use an annotation comment to hint to
cmake-format
that the argument list is sortable. For instance::
set(SOURCES
# cmake-format: sortable
bar.cc
baz.cc
foo.cc)
Annotations can be given in a line-comment or a bracket comment. There is a long-form and a short-form for each. The acceptable formats are:
+-----------------+-------+------------------------------+
| Line Comment | long | # cmake-format: <tag>
|
+-----------------+-------+------------------------------+
| Line Comment | short | # cmf: <tag>
|
+-----------------+-------+------------------------------+
| Bracket Comment | long | #[[cmake-format: <tag>]]
|
+-----------------+-------+------------------------------+
| Bracket Comment | short | #[[cmf: <tag>]]
|
+-----------------+-------+------------------------------+
In order to annotate a positional argument list as sortable, the acceptable
tags are: sortable
or sort
. For the commands listed above where
the positinal argument lists are inherently sortable, you can locally disable
sorting by annotating them with unsortable
or unsort
. For example::
add_library(foobar STATIC
# cmake-format: unsort
sourcefile_03.cc
sourcefile_01.cc
sourcefile_02.cc)
Note that this is only needed if your configuration has enabled autosort
,
and you can globally disable sorting by making setting this configuration to
False
.
Due to the fact that cmake is a macro language, cmake-format
is, by
necessity, a semantic source code formatter. In general it tries to make
smart formatting decisions based on the meaning of arguments in an otherwise
unstructured list of arguments in a cmake statement. cmake-format
can
intelligently format your custom commands, but you will need to tell it how
to interpret your arguments.
Currently, you can do this by adding your command specifications to the
additional_commands
configuration variables, e.g.:
.. code::
# Additional FLAGS and KWARGS for custom commands
additional_commands = {
"foo": {
"pargs": 2,
"flags": ["BAR", "BAZ"],
"kwargs": {
"HEADERS": '*',
"SOURCES": '*',
"DEPENDS": '*',
}
}
}
The format is a nested dictionary mapping statement names (dictionary keys)
to argument specifications
__. For the example specification above, the
custom command would look something like this:
.. code::
foo(hello world HEADERS a.h b.h c.h d.h SOURCES a.cc b.cc c.cc d.cc DEPENDS flub buzz bizz BAR BAZ)
