This pull request adds two new exported variables to the CMake config:

YAML_CPP_LIBRARY_DIR - points to the directory containing the built library files
YAML_CPP_SHARED_LIBS_BUILT - boolean value, lets users know whether shared libraries were built or not

Add definitions to static yaml-cpp target (fixes #1116)

Also updates CONTRIBUTING instructions for tests

Minimize warnings when not the top-level project

Should fix #970 and #764 when trying to add yaml-cpp to other project

Changes YAML_CPP_INSTALL from a cmake_dependent_option to an option.

Fixes #756, #847, and #1011.

The option `YAML_CPP_BUILD_TESTS` currently enables or disables building of tests; but unconditionally the CMake file includes CTest; this PR makes that conditional on the option.

Also, there is no option for enabling formatting, but it does check whether it can find the `clang-format` executable; this PR adds an option (default to true) that skips even looking for the executable if disabled.

After configuring the file `yaml-cpp-config.cmake.in`, the result ends up with
empty variables.  (see also the discussion in #774).

Rework this file and the call to `configure_package_config_file` according the
cmake documentation
(https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.22/module/CMakePackageConfigHelpers.html?highlight=configure_package_config#command:configure_package_config_file)
to overcome this issue and allow a simple `find_package` after install.

As there was some discussion about the place where to install the
`yaml-cpp-config.cmake` file, e.g. #1055, factor out the install location into
an extra variable to make it easier changing this location in the future.

Also untabify CMakeLists.txt in some places to align with the other code parts in this file.

Fixes issue #1053.

Partial revert of "Revert "Revert "Hide most of non-public symbols by default (#984)" (#1038)" (#1045)"

This reverts commit 0733aeb4.

This reverts commit da1c8d36. and fixes #1036.

* Export YAML::detail::node::m_amount

The internal header node/detail/node.h is included by public headers;
YAML::detail::node is implemented in the header itself, and thus it gets
inlined... except for its static m_amount class member, which is
instantiated in the library only. Right now all the symbols of yaml-cpp
are exported (nothing is hidden), so the linker will find node::m_amount
in the yaml-cpp library.

As solution/workaround, explicitly export YAML::detail::node::m_amount.

* CMake: use GenerateExportHeader

Make use of the GenerateExportHeader CMake module to generate the dll.h
header with export macros.

While the produced dll.h is different, the result should be the same,
i.e. nothing changes for yaml-cpp or its users.

* CMake: hide all the symbols by default

Hide all the symbols that are not explicitly exported with YAML_CPP_API.
This way the ABI will be way smaller, and only actually exposing the
public classes/functions.

Per https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/policy/CMP0091.html, we need to
enable policy CMP0091 if we want to make use of MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY
and/or CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY.  Fixes issue #912.

Library debug postfix might not be suitable for cross platform project, and usually require extra work of link against prebuilt yaml-cpp.

Generally, Xcode project output library to these directories:
    Debug
    Release
    Debug-iphoneos
    Release-iphoneos
    Debug-iphonesimulator
    Release-iphonesimulator

Another Xcode project usually configured its build setting as follow, and expects library name to be same between Release and Debug
    LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS=$(CONFIGURATION)$(EFFECT_PLATFORM_NAME)
    OTHER_LDFLAGS= $(inherited) -lyaml-cpp

Fix invocation of clang-format in CMakeLists and apply clang-format.

Change the namespace from yaml::yaml to yaml-cpp::yaml-cpp.

🐛 Fixes #748 (#770)

Add empty list of sources to add_library and add_executable.

The generator expressions here are actually unnecessary, now that I think about it.

This should fix #745

Remove 2.6-isms
Remove 2.8-isms
Bump CMake minimum version to 3.4

Disable some options when used as a subdirectory

Use `CONFIGURE_DEPENDS` with `file(GLOB)` when possible

Backport CMake 3.15's MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY setting.
Set all compile options as generator expressions.
Set all find-package files to be installed to the correct file.

Remove `export(PACKAGE)`, as this has been deprecated.
Remove fat binary support
Remove manual setting of iPhone settings. These should be set by parent
projects.
Remove use of ExternalProject for a local use
Conditionally remove format target unless clang-format is found

* CMake: Prefix options with "YAML" and hide platform-specific options

When including yaml-cpp as a subproject, some option names can conflict with other projects.

(1) Make sure the yaml-cpp options are prefixed with YAML
(2) Hide platform-specific options when possible to avoid cluttering the cmake option list

* Update docs for change from BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to YAML_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS

Setting CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD and CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED directly is problematic when including yaml-cpp as a subproject.

The proper way is to set these per-target.

This sets the other variables:

 https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/project.html

* Add compilation flags: -Wshadow -Weffc++ -pedantic -pedantic-errors
* Delete implicit copy & move constructors & assignment operators
  in classes with pointer data members.
* An exception to the above: Add default copy & move constructors &
  assignment operators for the Binary class.
* Convert boolean RegEx operators to binary operators.
* Initialize all members in all classes in ctors.
* Let default ctor delegate to the converting ctor in
  Binary and RegEx
* Don't change any tests except regex_test (as a result of the change
  to binary operators).

Note: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1544675 makes
-Weffc++ report a false positive in "include/yaml-cpp/node/impl.h".

NDK now uses ninja for building but yaml-cpp would emit the “ninja: error: build.ninja:326: bad $-escape (literal $ must be written as $$)” error due to syntax error in the generated build.ninja file. Related issue: https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/issues/630

Let CMake handle the default optimizations for various configurations. We don't need to override them. In fact, overriding them makes it impossible for users to override them themselves.

- Option defaults to ON and setting it to OFF, disables install
  target generation

Roll-forward of c90c08cc "Revert "Improvements to CMake buildsystem (#563)""

NEW:

* Replace CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR with CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR

Fixes #612 when yaml-cpp is used as a git submodule.

ORIGINAL:

* Move enable_testing() into proper place

* Added CMake's checks for C++11 standards

Raised minimal version of CMake to 3.1, since on old systems there no
decent compilers that supports c++11.

Closes #377.

* Externalize googletest project

Externalize gtest to avoid installation, fixes #539.

* Remove defined cmake_policies

CMP0012 - OLD marked as deprecated for >=cmake-3.1 and will be removed
CMP0015 - does not affect to build process
CMP0042 - already NEW for >=cmake-3.1

Fixes #505

* Fix compiling in Windows MSVC
