Summary

0007273: Provide Access to more System Information

Description

CTest provides significantly more information about the test machine than it used to provide. For example, it now provides the processor speed and available memory in addition to the OSName, OSVersion, Hostname, etc. The older parameters are available at build configuration time as CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME, etc. It would be useful to have the additional info available. In particular, ProcessorClockFrequency and AvailablePhysicalMemory are examples that affect the"default" configuration of my desired builds.

I also have different implementations of (time) critical routines and would like to have the correct one selected to match the processor.

Additional Information

See kwsys::SystemInformation for available info that could be exported to CMAKE variables.

Notes
(0012598) Bill Hoffman (manager) 2008-07-02 14:53	Where/how do you see these variables passed back to the tests? Can you give me a use case with some sample code?

(0012601) R Wackerbarth (reporter) 2008-07-02 15:43	I see them passed back the the CMake configuration. Just as I now have IF (${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} MATCHES "Linux") SET(SourceFiles ${SourceFiles} LinuxHandlers.c) ENDIF (${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} MATCHES "Linux") I might add IF(${CMAKE_PHYSICAL_MEMORY} GREATER 1023) ADD_TEST(TestLargeSample MyProgram -tablesize=1000000 testdata) ENDIF(${CMAKE_PHYSICAL_MEMORY} GREATER 1023) because I know that the program cannot "malloc" the large table in a machine without adequate memory
