As of CMake 3.12, check_include_files() also link the check executable
against the libraries listed in CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES. Therefore we
should unset the CMAKE_REQUIRED_* variables after each respective use to
avoid them unnecessarily bleeding into other checks.
There's a mix of CXX and C related variables being set/referenced in our
CMake files. Since we only use C, use an explicit language list of "C"
instead of the implicit "C CXX" and replace all uses of CXX variables
with their C counterparts

Enabling CMake's USE_FOLDERS option and adding the FOLDER property to
targets allows some IDEs to list the targets in an organized
hierarchy of folders.
Environment variables are used to detect when the project is being built
from within Clion or Visual Studio, so that the build process can be
simplified by automatically building the bundled dependencies for them.
"Always use `find_package` with `REQUIRED`."
- We make an exception for LuaJit (not REQUIRED): the `nvim-test` target
is included only if we can find LuaJit.
This is partially a cargo-cult (reference below), but it uncovered at
least one problem: `find_package(LibIntl REQUIRED)` fails on my vanilla
ubuntu 16.04 system.
ref: https://schneide.blog/2017/11/06/4-tips-for-better-cmake/
> optional dependencies is nice, but skipping on REQUIRED is not the way
> you want to do it. In the worst case, some of your features will just
> not work if those packages are not found, with no explanation
> whatsoever. Instead, use explicit feature-toggles (e.g. using option())
> that either skip the find_package call or use it with REQUIRED, so the
> user will know that another lib is needed for this feature.
Prior to CMake 2.8.12, generator expressions could only be used in
custom commands so the path to libnvim-test in test/config/paths.lua was
set by inspecting the target's LOCATION property. Post 2.8.12, the
file(GENERATE) command exists to handle this, but it can't interpolate
normal CMake variables.
In order to bridge the gap while < 2.8.12 is supported, use
configure_file() to create paths.lua.gen with the
$<TARGET_FILE:nvim-test> generator expression and then generate the
final paths.lua file.
Closes#7077
New logging is guarded by cmake LOG_LIST_ACTIONS define. To make it more
efficient it is allocated as a linked list with chunks of length
2^(7+chunk_num); that uses basically the same idea as behind increasing kvec
length (make appending O(1) (amortized)), but reduces constant by not bothering
to move memory around what realloc() would surely do: it is not like we need
random access to log entries here to justify usage of a single continuous memory
block.
closes#7283
regression by 42d892913d
- Don't need to explicitly put "-O2 -g" in RelWithDebInfo; CMake does
that already. That was left-over from 42d892913d which removed the
"Dev" custom build-type, but repurposed the logic for RelWithDebInfo.
- `if(DEFINED MIN_LOG_LEVEL)` doesn't work.
- `if(${MIN_LOG_LEVEL} MATCHES "^$")` doesn't work if -DMIN_LOG_LEVEL is
omitted.
- `if(MIN_LOG_LEVEL)` also isn't what we want: it would be true if
MIN_LOG_LEVEL=0.
As of unibilium 1.2.1, directly manipulating unibi_var_t is deprecated.
../src/nvim/tui/tui.c: In function 'update_attrs':
../src/nvim/tui/tui.c:321:7: warning: 'i' is deprecated: use unibi_var_from_num or unibi_num_from_var instead [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
data->params[0].i = (fg >> 16) & 0xff; // red
^~~~
In file included from ../src/nvim/tui/tui.c:12:0:
/usr/include/unibilium.h:632:9: note: declared here
int i UNIBI_DEPRECATED("use unibi_var_from_num or unibi_num_from_var instead");
^
All use should go through unibi_{num,str}_from_var and
unibi_var_from_{num,str}. Wrap access of unibi_var_t behind a new
UNIBI_SET_NUM_VAR macro which uses the new functions when they're
available.
Handling of process exit is still broken. It detects the moment when the
child process exits, then quickly stops polling for process output. It
should continue polling for output until the agent has scraped all of the
process' output. This problem is easy to notice by running a command like
"dir && exit", but even typing "exit<ENTER>" can manifest the problem --
the "t" might not appear.
winpty's Cygwin adapter handles shutdown by waiting for the agent to close
the CONOUT pipe, which it does after it has scraped the child's last
output. AFAIK, neovim doesn't do anything interesting when winpty closes
the CONOUT pipe.
The main purpose of this build-type was to avoid unwanted ~/.nvimlog
files (which could get really big, and also affects performance) for
non-devs. But that is no longer necessary since the log system now
avoids non-critical logging by default (#6827).
This essentially reverts 87e5a41316
- Establish ERROR log level as "critical". Such errors are rare and will
be valuable when users encounter unusual circumstances.
- Set -DMIN_LOG_LEVEL=3 for release-type builds
Compile `nvim` executable against Lua if PREFER_LUA=ON.
As the testing library `nvim-test` requires LuaJIT, it is
still compiled against LuaJIT. If LuaJIT is not available,
`nvim-test` is not built.
For CI builds unibilium is provided through msys2 packages, and
libtermkey is built from source in third-party from equalsraf/libtermkey.
In Windows we cannot read terminal input from the stdin file descriptor,
instead use libuv's uv_tty API. It should handle key input and encoding.
The UI suspend is not implemented for Windows, because the
SIGSTP/SIGCONT do not exist in windows. Currently this is a NOOP.

Reasoning: luajit is not being compiled with sanitizers, lua is. Given that
linking with sanitized libraries requires sanitizers enabled, it is needed to
either compile libnvim-test with sanitizers or link it with lua compiled without
sanitizers. Most easy way to do the latter is just use luajit which is compiled
without sanitizers (as they do not work well with luajit).
No tests yet, no documentation update, no :lua* stuff, no vim module.
converter.c should also work with typval_T, not Object.
Known problem: luaeval("1", {}) results in
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)
Ref #3823
- Add support for TEST_FILE to the `oldtest` target, for consistency
with the busted/lua tests.
Caveat: with the busted/lua tests TEST_FILE takes a full path, whereas
for `oldtest` it must be "test_foo.res".
- Add support for NVIM_PRG, again so that all test-related targets are
consistent.
- Use consistent name for NVIM_PRG. But still need to support NVIM_PROG
for QuickBuild CI.
Note: The `oldtest` target is driven by the top-level Makefile, because
it requires a TTY. CMake 3.2 added a USES_TERMINAL flag to
add_custom_target(). But we support CMake 2.8...

jemalloc's README states:
> jemalloc [is] the FreeBSD libc allocator since 2005. ... Modern jemalloc
> releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD
Since FreeBSD ships with jemalloc in some form, we don't need to require
jemalloc there. Less risk, low cost.

API level is disconnected from NVIM version. The API metadata holds the
current API level, and the lowest backwards-compatible level supported
by this instance.
Release 0.1.6 is the first release that reports the Nvim version and API
level.
metadata['version'] = {
major: 0,
minor: 1,
patch: 6,
api_level: 1,
api_compatible: 0,
api_prerelease: false,
}
The API level may remain unchanged across Nvim releases if the API has
not changed.
When changing the API,
- set NVIM_API_PRERELEASE to true
- increment NVIM_API_LEVEL (at most once per Nvim version)
- adjust NVIM_API_LEVEL_COMPAT if backwards-compatibility was broken
api_level_0.mpack was generated from Nvim 0.1.5 with:
nvim --api-info

The API level may remain unchanged across Neovim releases if the API has
not changed.
When changing the API the CMake variable NVIM_API_PRERELEASE is set to
true, and NVIM_API_CURRENT/NVIM_API_COMPATIBILITY are incremented
accordingly.
The functional tests check the API table against fixtures of past
versions of Neovim. It compares all the functions in the old table with
the new one, it does ignore some metadata attributes that do not alter
the function signature or were removed since 0.1.5. Currently the only
fixture is 0.mpack, generated from Neovim 0.1.5 with nvim --api-info.
Since C leaves whether char is signed or unsigned up to the implementer,
there are different defaults on different architectures.
Forcing unsigned char for one of our CI builds should help catch these
issues moving forward.
In Windows Lua's os.tmpname() returns relative paths starting with \s,
prepend them with $TEMP to generate a valid path.
In OS X os.tmpname() returns paths in '/tmp' but they should be in
'/private/tmp'. We cannot use os_name() for platform detection because
some tests use tempname() before nvim is spawned, instead use one of the
following:
1. Set SYSTEM_NAME environment variable before calling the tests, it
is set from CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME(i.e. uname -s or 'Windows')
2. Call uname -s
3. Assume windows

NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_TRUE_COLOR is now ignored.
Otherwise, busted may run a different interpreter than the one we
detected, without the capabilities we expect. (For instance, we might
have detected the luajit interpreter, but busted might run the lua
interpreter, without the ffi module.)
The TUI can be enabled/disabled at build time with -DFEAT_TUI, default is ON for
UNIX, and OFF for non UNIX. When off, Neovim prints a message to stderr, along
with a list of the server endpoints.
By default Neovim searched a Luajit instalation and linked against
the luajit library.
In practice Neovim only requires luajit to run the unit tests. All other
targets only require lua and the correct lua modules. This commit:
1. Remove the strict dependency on Luajit
2. Makes the unittest target depend on the lua 'ffi' module.
If the module is not available the target is not enabled
and a message is displayed.
This is needed as long as we support cmake older than 2.8.12. When we
bump the minimum version to 2.8.12, we can use target_compile_options()
and add_compile_options() instead.

When using the Visual Studio generator don't use get_target_property for
custom command, because it returns unexpanded VS variables (e.g.
$(Configuration)) within the result as part of the LOCATION path.
The single case where this is a problem is for getting the output path for
nvim-test, instead we use a path here.
The Visual Studio cmake generator creates subdirectories inside
the build path for different build configuration. But this breaks some of our
cmake scripts, like the help tags installer, that assume the targets are
built in that location. Updated CMakeLists.txt to remove extra paths.

We use `git describe` to stamp pre-release versions (dev builds). But
`git describe` uses the result of the most-recent tag (the current
_release_ version)--so we must munge it with the _next_ (i.e.
unreleased) version.
Also fix non-git builds: do not invoke git_describe(NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM)
if we're not in a git tree, else it gets the dummy value
"HEAD-HASH-NOTFOUND".
Example :version output in non-git build:
NVIM 0.1.2-dev
Example :version output in git build:
NVIM v0.1.2-176-g9c3c2b5
Without this compilation fails due to a missing symbol: SRWLOCK in libuv
headers. _WIN32_WINNT defines the Windows header version that is to be used,
and it seems libuv requires this version. See

If nvim is built from a non-tagged commit, the truncated commit hash is
already appended to the main version string (e.g., "NVIM v0.1.0-83-g959f260 ..."),
making the "Commit:" field redundant.
Regarding the truncated hash length: we don't have nearly enough commits
to worry about collisions, and probably won't ever, so the default
length should be fine.
When building in a git repo:
- If HEAD corresponds to an annotated tag, (i.e. git_get_exact_tag()
returns truthy) the current build is considered a "release" build:
NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM is directly assigned the tagged version name,
and NVIM_VERSION_* defines are ignored.
- If HEAD is not a tagged release, then NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM is
directly assigned the result of `git describe`.
If git (or the repo) is not available:
- The NVIM_VERSION_* defines are used to define NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM.

Before this change, building Neovim would recursively search parent
directories for a .git directory. If Neovim was downloaded as a tarball
(i.e. without a .git directory), but placed in a subdirectory of
a Git repository, this caused a CMake error. Such a situation could
occur when packaging Neovim, for example.
Unfortunately, the previous attempt in #3317 did not fix this problem.
* Hide commit information from --version if we can't find any (e.g. when
building from tarball).
To define a release in CMake, set NVIM_VERSION_PRERELEASE to "".
This will modify --version output to:
* Show annotated Git tag instead of commit hash (NVIM_VERSION_COMMIT).
* Hide commit date (NVIM_VERSION_BUILD).
Introduce new build type Dev that replaces RelWithDebInfo for development
builds off master and has optimizations, debug info, and logging enabled.
Keep assertions enabled for RelWithDebInfo.
If downloading Neovim as a tarball (i.e. without Git data),
building Neovim will search parent directories for a .git directory.
Explicitly set GIT_DIR to the project directory to avoid that.

`nvim-[lang].1`:
The non-english manuals are completely outdated and still written in
roff, as opposed to mdoc, which is used for `nvim.1`.
Given that, they're nearly useless at the moment, and when/if they are
updated, they should probably be rewritten from scratch using `nvim.1`
as a reference.
`xxd*.1`:
xxd hasn't been in the source tree for a long time, so the manual is of
little use.
`nvimtutor*.1`:
The vimtutor script hasn't ever shipped with nvim, and the consensus
seems to be that it won't, at least in the form of an executable
installed alongside `$(PREFIX)/bin/nvim` (see #2700).
In `nvim.1`, the argument to the `.Os` macro was removed. This was done
because its only purpose was to signify that nvim and nvimtutor
were part of the "Neovim" distribution, i.e., one and the same, which
isn't applicable anymore because `nvimtutor.1` is being removed.
From the `.Os` documentation in `man mdoc`:
Os
Operating system version for display in the page footer. This is the
mandatory third macro of any mdoc file. Its syntax is as follows:
.Os [system [version]]
The optional system parameter specifies the relevant operating system or
environment. It is suggested to leave it unspecified, in which case
mandoc(1) uses its -Ios argument or, if that isn't specified either,
sysname and release as returned by uname(3).
Examples:
.Os
.Os KTH/CSC/TCS
.Os BSD 4.3

This will help make sure that we build all the right prereqs before
manually running tests under QuickBuild.
Notice that shell-test has been added as a prereq for the functional
tests, since it's a requirement for testing the terminal features.
Old behaviour: termopen('cmd') would run `&shell &shcf "cmd"`, which
caused the functional tests to fail on some systems due to the process
not "owning" the terminal. Also, it is inconsistent with jobstart().
Modify termopen() so that &shell is not invoked, but maintain the old
behaviour with :terminal. Factor the common code for building the
argument vector from jobstart() and modify the functional tests to call
termopen() instead of :terminal (fixes#2354).
Also:
* Add a 'name' option for termopen() so that `:terminal {cmd}` produces
a buffer named "term//{cwd}/{cmd}" and termopen() users can customize
the name.
* Update the documentation.

For built-in dependencies, shared libraries are removed and static
linking is always used.
For systemwide dependencies, static linking should not be used.
Jemalloc will be used if the cmake option `USE_JEMALLOC` is enabled(which is the
default). To avoid trouble with clang's ASAN, it is disabled by default if the
`SANITIZE` option is enabled.
Since jemalloc has thread cache for small objects, it fills the gap created by
removing klib memory pools.
The `xstrdup` funciton(memory.c) had to be reimplemented on top of `xmalloc` to
make it work with a custom allocator.

Get prefix to a -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE string if it is present in
CFLAGS and apply the prefix to flags added to redefine
_FORTIFY_SOURCE in CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS
* fixes 1569
It turns out the check was being performed without optimizations enabled
even when the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE was set to a release build. This led to
_FORTIFY_SOURCE's level not being correctly determined, and us failing
to apply the correct workaround.
To counter this, we'll take the default flags for the build type and
apply them. Also, if options are passed via CFLAGS, they are
automatically passed on to the underlying build. So this should cover
all the necessary ground.
This fixes#1647.
- Caller can override bundled dependency location using
DEPS_PREFIX
- Cache variable DEPS_PREFIX, using .deps/usr by default
- Removed unused variables DEPS_BIN_DIR, DEPS_BUILD_DIR, DEPS_DIR
DEPS_INSTALL_DIR
- Corner case: if the caller tries to override DEPS_PREFIX after a
successful cmake configuration, the caller needs to clear the cache
because dependency checks are based on the old value
Some builds don't use Release (such as Gentoo, though it can be told
to). So let's go a bit further and probe the compiler to see if we need
to turn down the _FORTIFY_SOURCE level.
- If possble try to abstract away from Make, and use cmake --build

Fixes#1447. `CMAKE_MODULE_PATH` is meant to be a list of directories,
and as such, is not the proper way to launch our scripts. Let's use
`${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake` instead. Also, let's not outright set
`CMAKE_MODULE_PATH`, but instead append our location to the list.
Commit a1d411f9c9 just assumes that gcc
will support the `-Og` option, but gcc that comes with Ubuntu 12.04 does
not. Let's check to see if the flag is supported, and then decide
whether to enable it or not.
Unfortunately, we can't force the specific inclusion of a header file.
So if anything add /opt/local/include to the include path--such as
libintl--then other dependencies might be drawn from /opt/local at
compile time, even though we detected them elsewhere at configure time.
This, in turn, causes issues with mixed versions, such as the iconv.h
header being pulled from /opt/local/include, but linked against the
library in /usr/lib--which can be mismatched versions.
So, despite CMake's best effort to treat /sw and /opt/local as just
another system area, we really need to give them preferential treatment.
To do this, we add them to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.
This fixes an issue discovered while re-enabling iconv in #1370.
The -O3 optimization level can often lead to dangerous (and sometimes
incorrect) optimizations being performed. So let's use a level that's

If you aren't just building everything into build/, then the functional

Commit: f747b2b1ff7bfe7eb00cc2be82d7af87c98f1111
The 'lupa' python package provides a simple way to seamless integrate lua and
python code.
This commit replaces vroom by a python script that exposes the 'neovim' package
to a lua state, and invokes busted to run functional tests. This is a temporary
solution that will enable writing functional tests using lua/bused while a lua
client library is not available.
The reason for dropping vroom is flexibility: Lua/busted has a nice DSL-style
syntax while also providing the customization power of a full programming
language. Another reason is to use a single framework for unit/functional tests.
Two other changes were performed in this commit:
- Instead of "gcc-unittest/gcc-ia32", the travis builds for gcc are now
identified by "gcc/gcc-32". They will run unit/functional tests for both 64
and 32 bits.
- Old integration tests(in src/nvim/testdir) are now ran by the 'oldtest' target
The install() command will create the parent directories, but it does so
with the user's umask. We want to do our best to make sure the correct
permissions are being set, without clobbering existing permissions.
To do this, this commit introduces an install_helper(), which is similar
in signature to the install() command, to help ensure that directories
are created ahead of the actual install() command. This will attempt to
use 0644 permissions for files and 0755 permissions for directories by
default--though they can be overridden.
To make this work correctly, without trying to introduce some mechanism
with setting the umask, it meant that there's a small portion that makes
use of an "internal" version of the file() command. It has been tested
on CMake 2.8.11, 2.8.12, and 3.0.2, and works correctly on all versions.
This fixes#1201 and #1086.
`-Wstrict-prototypes` warn if a function is declared or defined without
specifying the argument types.
This warning disallow function prototypes with empty parameter list.
In C, a function declared with an empty parameter list accepts an
arbitrary number of arguments when being called. This is for historic
reasons; originally, C functions didn't have prototypes, as C evolved
from B, a typeless language. When prototypes were added, the original
typeless declarations were left in the language for backwards
compatibility.
Instead we should provide `void` in argument list to state
that function doesn't have arguments.
Also this warning disallow declaring type of the parameters after the
parentheses because Neovim header generator produce no declarations for
old-stlyle prototypes: it expects to find `{` after prototype.

CMake purposefully disables the use of the `-isystem` flag on Apple
platforms, but it's overly blunt with the detection. Apple's compilers
have supported the flag since at least 10.4. Let's force the switch to
be on when gcc/g++ is detected on an Apple platform to reduce the
warnings out of the msgpack-related bits.
Stop forcing some platform setting that are really intended to be used
for Travis CI. Under other systems, like Arch Linux, it prevents
dependencies from being correctly located.
- The 'stripdecls.py' script replaces declarations in all headers by includes to
generated headers.
`ag '#\s*if(?!ndef NEOVIM_).*((?!#\s*endif).*\n)*#ifdef INCLUDE_GENERATED'`
was used for this.
- Add and integrate gendeclarations.lua into the build system to generate the
required includes.
- Add -Wno-unused-function
- Made a bunch of old-style definitions ANSI
This adds a requirement: all type and structure definitions must be present
before INCLUDE_GENERATED_DECLARATIONS-protected include.
Warning: mch_expandpath (path.h.generated.h) was moved manually. So far it is
the only exception.
It inteferes with development activities by breaking your build in the
middle of a refactor. Instead, let's enable -Werror on the Travis CI
builds via a TRAVIS_CI_BUILD option.
- Leave src as include dir (for includes to recognize 'nvim/' prefix).
- Change subdirectory from src to src/nvim.
- Fix msgpack generation.
- Fix some other paths to new locations.
This adds the `SYSTEM` parameter to `include_directories`, which will tell cmake
to use `-isystem` instead of `-I` for specifying include directories. One
advantage is that compilers won't emit warnings for included files that belong
to dependencies.
This allows us to avoid hard-coding paths and using environment
variables to communicate key information to unit tests, which fits
with the overall goal of making sure that folks driving CMake directly
can continue to do out-of-tree builds.
- Build targeting 32-bit with travis
- Code in `before_install`/`after_success` was moved to travis.sh since it
provides greater flexibility for detecting the build matrix environment. This
improves the build speed since we now install only what's necessary.
- Now clint has a dedicated travis worker
Apparently busted 1.11.0 is broken(https://github.com/Olivine-Labs/busted/issues/236)
in a way that is causing the unit tests to fail. This pins the version to 1.10.0
and also fixes a wrong variable set when msgpack was added as a dependency
A lua executable is now required for the build process since a lpeg-based script
is used for generating a dispatch function and metadata for the msgpack API
frontend. This removes the need for setting the LUA_BINARY environment variable.
Fixes#518.
Only provide the unittest target if busted was found. And only build
nvim-test if the unittest target exists by excluding nvim-test from all.
Note: this means nvim-test won't be built by default, but it will be
built when you try to run unittests.
Since libuv.pc is broken at the moment, try to determine libuv's
dependencies ourselves. This ports most of the checks from libuv into
our CMake build, and fixes the build on other unix platforms.
This achieves several goals:
* Less reliance on scripts so we have better portability to Windows
(though we still have a ways to go for proper Windows support).
Luajit, luarocks, moonscript, and busted are all installed via CMake
now.
* Trying to make use of pkg-config to get the correct libraries. The
latest libuv is still broken in this regard, but we'll at least be in
a position to use it.
* Allow the use of Ninja or make. The former runs faster in many
environments, and automatically makes use of parallel builds.
This also allows for system installed dependencies--though not through
the Makefile just yet--and adds support for FreeBSD.
This also make us build libuv and luajit as static libraries only, since
we're only concerned about having static libraries for our bundled
dependencies.
As described in Google's style guide, the basis for Neovim's

- Valgrind configuration removed
- Fix errors reported by the undefined behavior sanitizer
- Travis will now run two build steps:
- A normal build of a shared library for unit testing(in parallel with gcc)
- A clang build with some sanitizers enabled for integration testing.
After these changes travis will run much faster, while providing valgrind-like
error detection.
Because of the '$' in `if(DEFINED $ENV{VALGRIND_CHECK})` EXITFREE wasn't being
defined, so the `free_all_mem` wasn't being included or called in the resulting
binary.
This commit fixes that, and also adds includes needed for `free_all_mem`
compilation.
It seems clang 3.4 thinks the codebase is in fantastic shape and gcc 4.9.0
has only minor niggles, which I fixed:
- fix uninitialized member warning:
In DEBUG mode the expr member doesn't get properly initialized to NULL.
- fix warnings about directive inside of macro's:
On some platforms/compilers, sprintf is a macro. Putting macro directives
inside of a macro is unportable and gcc 4.9 warns about that.
- fix signed vs. unsigned comparison warning:
The in-memory table will luckily not even come close to the limits imposed
by ssize_t. If it ever reaches that, we've got bigger problems.
This prevents an error from CMake when libintl is not found. It's not a
required library, so we must wrap the inclusion in a conditional. It
was already done for the library.
If the compiler is some GNU-alike variant, set the compiler flags to use
the gnu99 dialect of C and enable all warnings.
Non-GNU compilers may have to have their own magic added to set dialect
and enable warnings.
Closes#179.
As noted in #128, if clock_gettime is provided by librt then it does not
end up being linked into the static libuv.a binary. This might be
considered a bug in libuv but we can address it here.
Detect if librt provides the clock_gettime symbol and, if so, append it
to the list of libraries linked into nvim. On non-librt systems the
behaviour should be as before.
We use the standard CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable to pass the location of
.deps as a search location on the command line. There is now no need for
explicitly hard-coding it.
CMake ships with a standard FindThreads module which can be used to a)
test for a threading library and b) confirm that it is pthread. It also
allows the hard-coding of the threading library name to be removed from
``src/CMakeLists.txt``.
Make it an error not to have a pthread library installed and indicate to
CMake that we strongly prefer pthread to any other platform threading
library.
