FetchContent
------------------

.. versionadded:: 3.11

.. only:: html

  .. contents::

Overview
^^^^^^^^

This module enables populating content at configure time via any method
supported by the :module:`ExternalProject` module.  Whereas
:command:`ExternalProject_Add` downloads at build time, the
``FetchContent`` module makes content available immediately, allowing the
configure step to use the content in commands like :command:`add_subdirectory`,
:command:`include` or :command:`file` operations.

Content population details should be defined separately from the command that
performs the actual population.  This separation ensures that all the
dependency details are defined before anything might try to use them to
populate content.  This is particularly important in more complex project
hierarchies where dependencies may be shared between multiple projects.

The following shows a typical example of declaring content details for some
dependencies and then ensuring they are populated with a separate call:

.. code-block:: cmake

  FetchContent_Declare(
    googletest
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
    GIT_TAG        703bd9caab50b139428cea1aaff9974ebee5742e # release-1.10.0
  )
  FetchContent_Declare(
    myCompanyIcons
    URL      https://intranet.mycompany.com/assets/iconset_1.12.tar.gz
    URL_HASH MD5=5588a7b18261c20068beabfb4f530b87
  )

  FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest myCompanyIcons)

The :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` command ensures the named
dependencies have been populated, either by an earlier call or by populating
them itself.  When performing the population, it will also add them to the
main build, if possible, so that the main build can use the populated
projects' targets, etc.  See the command's documentation for how these steps
are performed.

When using a hierarchical project arrangement, projects at higher levels in
the hierarchy are able to override the declared details of content specified
anywhere lower in the project hierarchy.  The first details to be declared
for a given dependency take precedence, regardless of where in the project
hierarchy that occurs.  Similarly, the first call that tries to populate a
dependency "wins", with subsequent populations reusing the result of the
first instead of repeating the population again.
See the :ref:`Examples <fetch-content-examples>` which demonstrate
this scenario.

In some cases, the main project may need to have more precise control over
the population, or it may be required to explicitly define the population
steps in a way that cannot be captured by the declared details alone.
For such situations, the lower level :command:`FetchContent_GetProperties` and
:command:`FetchContent_Populate` commands can be used.  These lack the richer
features provided by :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` though, so their
direct use should be considered a last resort.  The typical pattern of such
custom steps looks like this:

.. code-block:: cmake

  # NOTE: Where possible, prefer to use FetchContent_MakeAvailable()
  #       instead of custom logic like this

  # Check if population has already been performed
  FetchContent_GetProperties(depname)
  if(NOT depname_POPULATED)
    # Fetch the content using previously declared details
    FetchContent_Populate(depname)

    # Set custom variables, policies, etc.
    # ...

    # Bring the populated content into the build
    add_subdirectory(${depname_SOURCE_DIR} ${depname_BINARY_DIR})
  endif()

The ``FetchContent`` module also supports defining and populating
content in a single call, with no check for whether the content has been
populated elsewhere already.  This should not be done in projects, but may
be appropriate for populating content in CMake's script mode.
See :command:`FetchContent_Populate` for details.

Commands
^^^^^^^^

.. command:: FetchContent_Declare

  .. code-block:: cmake

    FetchContent_Declare(<name> <contentOptions>...)

  The ``FetchContent_Declare()`` function records the options that describe
  how to populate the specified content.  If such details have already
  been recorded earlier in this project (regardless of where in the project
  hierarchy), this and all later calls for the same content ``<name>`` are
  ignored.  This "first to record, wins" approach is what allows hierarchical
  projects to have parent projects override content details of child projects.

  The content ``<name>`` can be any string without spaces, but good practice
  would be to use only letters, numbers and underscores.  The name will be
  treated case-insensitively and it should be obvious for the content it
  represents, often being the name of the child project or the value given
  to its top level :command:`project` command (if it is a CMake project).
  For well-known public projects, the name should generally be the official
  name of the project.  Choosing an unusual name makes it unlikely that other
  projects needing that same content will use the same name, leading to
  the content being populated multiple times.

  The ``<contentOptions>`` can be any of the download, update or patch options
  that the :command:`ExternalProject_Add` command understands.  The configure,
  build, install and test steps are explicitly disabled and therefore options
  related to them will be ignored.  The ``SOURCE_SUBDIR`` option is an
  exception, see :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` for details on how that
  affects behavior.

  In most cases, ``<contentOptions>`` will just be a couple of options defining
  the download method and method-specific details like a commit tag or archive
  hash.  For example:

  .. code-block:: cmake

    FetchContent_Declare(
      googletest
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
      GIT_TAG        703bd9caab50b139428cea1aaff9974ebee5742e # release-1.10.0
    )

    FetchContent_Declare(
      myCompanyIcons
      URL      https://intranet.mycompany.com/assets/iconset_1.12.tar.gz
      URL_HASH MD5=5588a7b18261c20068beabfb4f530b87
    )

    FetchContent_Declare(
      myCompanyCertificates
      SVN_REPOSITORY svn+ssh://svn.mycompany.com/srv/svn/trunk/certs
      SVN_REVISION   -r12345
    )

  Where contents are being fetched from a remote location and you do not
  control that server, it is advisable to use a hash for ``GIT_TAG`` rather
  than a branch or tag name.  A commit hash is more secure and helps to
  confirm that the downloaded contents are what you expected.

  .. versionchanged:: 3.14
    Commands for the download, update or patch steps can access the terminal.
    This may be needed for things like password prompts or real-time display
    of command progress.

  .. versionadded:: 3.22
    The :variable:`CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY`, :variable:`CMAKE_TLS_CAINFO`,
    :variable:`CMAKE_NETRC` and :variable:`CMAKE_NETRC_FILE` variables now
    provide the defaults for their corresponding content options, just like
    they do for :command:`ExternalProject_Add`. Previously, these variables
    were ignored by the ``FetchContent`` module.

.. command:: FetchContent_MakeAvailable

  .. versionadded:: 3.14

  .. code-block:: cmake

    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(<name1> [<name2>...])

  This command ensures that each of the named dependencies are populated and
  potentially added to the build by the time it returns.  It iterates over
  the list, and for each dependency, the following logic is applied:

  * If the dependency has already been populated earlier in this run, set
    the ``<lowercaseName>_POPULATED``, ``<lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR`` and
    ``<lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR`` variables in the same way as a call to
    :command:`FetchContent_GetProperties`, then skip the remaining steps
    below and move on to the next dependency in the list.

  * Call :command:`FetchContent_Populate` to populate the dependency using
    the details recorded by an earlier call to :command:`FetchContent_Declare`.
    Halt with a fatal error if no such details have been recorded.
    :variable:`FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_<uppercaseName>` can be used to override
    the declared details and use content provided at the specified location
    instead.

  * If the top directory of the populated content contains a ``CMakeLists.txt``
    file, call :command:`add_subdirectory` to add it to the main build.
    It is not an error for there to be no ``CMakeLists.txt`` file, which
    allows the command to be used for dependencies that make downloaded
    content available at a known location, but which do not need or support
    being added directly to the build.

    .. versionadded:: 3.18
      The ``SOURCE_SUBDIR`` option can be given in the declared details to
      look somewhere below the top directory instead (i.e. the same way that
      ``SOURCE_SUBDIR`` is used by the :command:`ExternalProject_Add`
      command).  The path provided with ``SOURCE_SUBDIR`` must be relative
      and will be treated as relative to the top directory.  It can also
      point to a directory that does not contain a ``CMakeLists.txt`` file
      or even to a directory that doesn't exist.  This can be used to avoid
      adding a project that contains a ``CMakeLists.txt`` file in its top
      directory.

  Projects should aim to declare the details of all dependencies they might
  use before they call ``FetchContent_MakeAvailable()`` for any of them.
  This ensures that if any of the dependencies are also sub-dependencies of
  one or more of the others, the main project still controls the details
  that will be used (because it will declare them first before the
  dependencies get a chance to).  In the following code samples, assume that
  the ``uses_other`` dependency also uses ``FetchContent`` to add the ``other``
  dependency internally:

  .. code-block:: cmake

    # WRONG: Should declare all details first
    FetchContent_Declare(uses_other ...)
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(uses_other)

    FetchContent_Declare(other ...)    # Will be ignored, uses_other beat us to it
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(other)  # Would use details declared by uses_other

  .. code-block:: cmake

    # CORRECT: All details declared first, so they will take priority
    FetchContent_Declare(uses_other ...)
    FetchContent_Declare(other ...)
    FetchContent_MakeAvailable(uses_other other)

.. command:: FetchContent_Populate

  .. note::
    Where possible, prefer to use :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`
    instead of implementing population manually with this command.

  .. code-block:: cmake

    FetchContent_Populate(<name>)

  In most cases, the only argument given to ``FetchContent_Populate()`` is the
  ``<name>``.  When used this way, the command assumes the content details have
  been recorded by an earlier call to :command:`FetchContent_Declare`.  The
  details are stored in a global property, so they are unaffected by things
  like variable or directory scope.  Therefore, it doesn't matter where in the
  project the details were previously declared, as long as they have been
  declared before the call to ``FetchContent_Populate()``.  Those saved details
  are then used to construct a call to :command:`ExternalProject_Add` in a
  private sub-build to perform the content population immediately.  The
  implementation of ``ExternalProject_Add()`` ensures that if the content has
  already been populated in a previous CMake run, that content will be reused
  rather than repopulating them again.  For the common case where population
  involves downloading content, the cost of the download is only paid once.

  An internal global property records when a particular content population
  request has been processed.  If ``FetchContent_Populate()`` is called more
  than once for the same content name within a configure run, the second call
  will halt with an error.  Projects can and should check whether content
  population has already been processed with the
  :command:`FetchContent_GetProperties` command before calling
  ``FetchContent_Populate()``.

  ``FetchContent_Populate()`` will set three variables in the scope of the
  caller:

  ``<lowercaseName>_POPULATED``
    This will always be set to ``TRUE`` by the call.

  ``<lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR``
    The location where the populated content can be found upon return.

  ``<lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR``
    A directory intended for use as a corresponding build directory.

  The main use case for the ``<lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR`` and
  ``<lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR`` variables is to call
  :command:`add_subdirectory` immediately after population:

  .. code-block:: cmake

    FetchContent_Populate(FooBar)
    add_subdirectory(${foobar_SOURCE_DIR} ${foobar_BINARY_DIR})

  The values of the three variables can also be retrieved from anywhere in the
  project hierarchy using the :command:`FetchContent_GetProperties` command.

  The ``FetchContent_Populate()`` command also supports a syntax allowing the
  content details to be specified directly rather than using any saved
  details.  This is more low-level and use of this form is generally to be
  avoided in favor of using saved content details as outlined above.
  Nevertheless, in certain situations it can be useful to invoke the content
  population as an isolated operation (typically as part of implementing some
  other higher level feature or when using CMake in script mode):

  .. code-block:: cmake

    FetchContent_Populate(
      <name>
      [QUIET]
      [SUBBUILD_DIR <subBuildDir>]
      [SOURCE_DIR <srcDir>]
      [BINARY_DIR <binDir>]
      ...
    )

  This form has a number of key differences to that where only ``<name>`` is
  provided:

  - All required population details are assumed to have been provided directly
    in the call to ``FetchContent_Populate()``. Any saved details for
    ``<name>`` are ignored.
  - No check is made for whether content for ``<name>`` has already been
    populated.
  - No global property is set to record that the population has occurred.
  - No global properties record the source or binary directories used for the
    populated content.
  - The ``FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED`` and
    ``FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED`` cache variables are ignored.

  The ``<lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR`` and ``<lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR``
  variables are still returned to the caller, but since these locations are
  not stored as global properties when this form is used, they are only
  available to the calling scope and below rather than the entire project
  hierarchy.  No ``<lowercaseName>_POPULATED`` variable is set in the caller's
  scope with this form.

  The supported options for ``FetchContent_Populate()`` are the same as those
  for :command:`FetchContent_Declare()`.  Those few options shown just
  above are either specific to ``FetchContent_Populate()`` or their behavior is
  slightly modified from how :command:`ExternalProject_Add` treats them:

  ``QUIET``
    The ``QUIET`` option can be given to hide the output associated with
    populating the specified content.  If the population fails, the output will
    be shown regardless of whether this option was given or not so that the
    cause of the failure can be diagnosed.  The global ``FETCHCONTENT_QUIET``
    cache variable has no effect on ``FetchContent_Populate()`` calls where the
    content details are provided directly.

  ``SUBBUILD_DIR``
    The ``SUBBUILD_DIR`` argument can be provided to change the location of the
    sub-build created to perform the population.  The default value is
    ``${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lowercaseName>-subbuild`` and it would be
    unusual to need to override this default.  If a relative path is specified,
    it will be interpreted as relative to :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR`.
    This option should not be confused with the ``SOURCE_SUBDIR`` option which
    only affects the :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` command.

  ``SOURCE_DIR``, ``BINARY_DIR``
    The ``SOURCE_DIR`` and ``BINARY_DIR`` arguments are supported by
    :command:`ExternalProject_Add`, but different default values are used by
    ``FetchContent_Populate()``.  ``SOURCE_DIR`` defaults to
    ``${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lowercaseName>-src`` and ``BINARY_DIR``
    defaults to ``${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/<lowercaseName>-build``.
    If a relative path is specified, it will be interpreted as relative to
    :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR`.

  In addition to the above explicit options, any other unrecognized options are
  passed through unmodified to :command:`ExternalProject_Add` to perform the
  download, patch and update steps.  The following options are explicitly
  prohibited (they are disabled by the ``FetchContent_Populate()`` command):

  - ``CONFIGURE_COMMAND``
  - ``BUILD_COMMAND``
  - ``INSTALL_COMMAND``
  - ``TEST_COMMAND``

  If using ``FetchContent_Populate()`` within CMake's script mode, be aware
  that the implementation sets up a sub-build which therefore requires a CMake
  generator and build tool to be available. If these cannot be found by
  default, then the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR` and/or
  :variable:`CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM` variables will need to be set appropriately
  on the command line invoking the script.

  .. versionadded:: 3.18
    Added support for the ``DOWNLOAD_NO_EXTRACT`` option.

.. command:: FetchContent_GetProperties

  When using saved content details, a call to
  :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` or :command:`FetchContent_Populate`
  records information in global properties which can be queried at any time.
  This information includes the source and binary directories associated with
  the content and also whether or not the content population has been processed
  during the current configure run.

  .. code-block:: cmake

    FetchContent_GetProperties(
      <name>
      [SOURCE_DIR <srcDirVar>]
      [BINARY_DIR <binDirVar>]
      [POPULATED <doneVar>]
    )

  The ``SOURCE_DIR``, ``BINARY_DIR`` and ``POPULATED`` options can be used to
  specify which properties should be retrieved.  Each option accepts a value
  which is the name of the variable in which to store that property.  Most of
  the time though, only ``<name>`` is given, in which case the call will then
  set the same variables as a call to
  :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable(name) <FetchContent_MakeAvailable>` or
  :command:`FetchContent_Populate(name) <FetchContent_Populate>`.

  This command is rarely needed when using
  :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`.  It is more commonly used as part of
  implementing the following pattern with :command:`FetchContent_Populate`,
  which ensures that the relevant variables will always be defined regardless
  of whether or not the population has been performed elsewhere in the project
  already:

  .. code-block:: cmake

    # Check if population has already been performed
    FetchContent_GetProperties(depname)
    if(NOT depname_POPULATED)
      # Fetch the content using previously declared details
      FetchContent_Populate(depname)

      # Set custom variables, policies, etc.
      # ...

      # Bring the populated content into the build
      add_subdirectory(${depname_SOURCE_DIR} ${depname_BINARY_DIR})
    endif()

Variables
^^^^^^^^^

A number of cache variables can influence the behavior where details from a
:command:`FetchContent_Declare` call are used to populate content.
The variables are all intended for the developer to customize behavior and
should not normally be set by the project.

.. variable:: FETCHCONTENT_BASE_DIR

  In most cases, the saved details do not specify any options relating to the
  directories to use for the internal sub-build, final source and build areas.
  It is generally best to leave these decisions up to the ``FetchContent``
  module to handle on the project's behalf.  The ``FETCHCONTENT_BASE_DIR``
  cache variable controls the point under which all content population
  directories are collected, but in most cases, developers would not need to
  change this.  The default location is ``${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_deps``, but if
  developers change this value, they should aim to keep the path short and
  just below the top level of the build tree to avoid running into path
  length problems on Windows.

.. variable:: FETCHCONTENT_QUIET

  The logging output during population can be quite verbose, making the
  configure stage quite noisy.  This cache option (``ON`` by default) hides
  all population output unless an error is encountered.  If experiencing
  problems with hung downloads, temporarily switching this option off may
  help diagnose which content population is causing the issue.

.. variable:: FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED

  When this option is enabled, no attempt is made to download or update
  any content.  It is assumed that all content has already been populated in
  a previous run or the source directories have been pointed at existing
  contents the developer has provided manually (using options described
  further below).  When the developer knows that no changes have been made to
  any content details, turning this option ``ON`` can significantly speed up
  the configure stage.  It is ``OFF`` by default.

.. variable:: FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED

  This is a less severe download/update control compared to
  :variable:`FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED`.  Instead of bypassing all
  download and update logic, ``FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED`` only
  disables the update stage.  Therefore, if content has not been downloaded
  previously, it will still be downloaded when this option is enabled.
  This can speed up the configure stage, but not as much as
  :variable:`FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED`.  It is ``OFF`` by default.

In addition to the above cache variables, the following cache variables are
also defined for each content name:

.. variable:: FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_<uppercaseName>

  If this is set, no download or update steps are performed for the specified
  content and the ``<lowercaseName>_SOURCE_DIR`` variable returned to the
  caller is pointed at this location.  This gives developers a way to have a
  separate checkout of the content that they can modify freely without
  interference from the build.  The build simply uses that existing source,
  but it still defines ``<lowercaseName>_BINARY_DIR`` to point inside its own
  build area.  Developers are strongly encouraged to use this mechanism rather
  than editing the sources populated in the default location, as changes to
  sources in the default location can be lost when content population details
  are changed by the project.

.. variable:: FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED_<uppercaseName>

  This is the per-content equivalent of
  :variable:`FETCHCONTENT_UPDATES_DISCONNECTED`.  If the global option or
  this option is ``ON``, then updates will be disabled for the named content.
  Disabling updates for individual content can be useful for content whose
  details rarely change, while still leaving other frequently changing content
  with updates enabled.

.. _`fetch-content-examples`:

Examples
^^^^^^^^

This first fairly straightforward example ensures that some popular testing
frameworks are available to the main build:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(FetchContent)
  FetchContent_Declare(
    googletest
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git
    GIT_TAG        703bd9caab50b139428cea1aaff9974ebee5742e # release-1.10.0
  )
  FetchContent_Declare(
    Catch2
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git
    GIT_TAG        de6fe184a9ac1a06895cdd1c9b437f0a0bdf14ad # v2.13.4
  )

  # After the following call, the CMake targets defined by googletest and
  # Catch2 will be available to the rest of the build
  FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest Catch2)

If the sub-project's ``CMakeLists.txt`` file is not at the top level of its
source tree, the ``SOURCE_SUBDIR`` option can be used to tell ``FetchContent``
where to find it.  The following example shows how to use that option and
it also sets a variable which is meaningful to the subproject before pulling
it into the main build:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(FetchContent)
  FetchContent_Declare(
    protobuf
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf.git
    GIT_TAG        ae50d9b9902526efd6c7a1907d09739f959c6297 # v3.15.0
    SOURCE_SUBDIR  cmake
  )
  set(protobuf_BUILD_TESTS OFF)
  FetchContent_MakeAvailable(protobuf)

In more complex project hierarchies, the dependency relationships can be more
complicated.  Consider a hierarchy where ``projA`` is the top level project and
it depends directly on projects ``projB`` and ``projC``.  Both ``projB`` and
``projC`` can be built standalone and they also both depend on another project
``projD``.  ``projB`` additionally depends on ``projE``.  This example assumes
that all five projects are available on a company git server.  The
``CMakeLists.txt`` of each project might have sections like the following:

*projA*:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(FetchContent)
  FetchContent_Declare(
    projB
    GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projB.git
    GIT_TAG        4a89dc7e24ff212a7b5167bef7ab079d
  )
  FetchContent_Declare(
    projC
    GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projC.git
    GIT_TAG        4ad4016bd1d8d5412d135cf8ceea1bb9
  )
  FetchContent_Declare(
    projD
    GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
    GIT_TAG        origin/integrationBranch
  )
  FetchContent_Declare(
    projE
    GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projE.git
    GIT_TAG        v2.3-rc1
  )

  # Order is important, see notes in the discussion further below
  FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projD projB projC)

*projB*:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(FetchContent)
  FetchContent_Declare(
    projD
    GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
    GIT_TAG        20b415f9034bbd2a2e8216e9a5c9e632
  )
  FetchContent_Declare(
    projE
    GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projE.git
    GIT_TAG        68e20f674a48be38d60e129f600faf7d
  )

  FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projD projE)

*projC*:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(FetchContent)
  FetchContent_Declare(
    projD
    GIT_REPOSITORY git@mycompany.com:git/projD.git
    GIT_TAG        7d9a17ad2c962aa13e2fbb8043fb6b8a
  )

  # This particular version of projD requires workarounds
  FetchContent_GetProperties(projD)
  if(NOT projd_POPULATED)
    FetchContent_Populate(projD)

    # Copy an additional/replacement file into the populated source
    file(COPY someFile.c DESTINATION ${projd_SOURCE_DIR}/src)

    add_subdirectory(${projd_SOURCE_DIR} ${projd_BINARY_DIR})
  endif()

A few key points should be noted in the above:

- ``projB`` and ``projC`` define different content details for ``projD``,
  but ``projA`` also defines a set of content details for ``projD``.
  Because ``projA`` will define them first, the details from ``projB`` and
  ``projC`` will not be used.  The override details defined by ``projA``
  are not required to match either of those from ``projB`` or ``projC``, but
  it is up to the higher level project to ensure that the details it does
  define still make sense for the child projects.
- In the ``projA`` call to :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`, ``projD``
  is listed ahead of ``projB`` and ``projC`` to ensure that ``projA`` is in
  control of how ``projD`` is populated.
- While ``projA`` defines content details for ``projE``, it does not need
  to explicitly call ``FetchContent_MakeAvailable(projE)`` or
  ``FetchContent_Populate(projD)`` itself.  Instead, it leaves that to the
  child ``projB``.  For higher level projects, it is often enough to just
  define the override content details and leave the actual population to the
  child projects.  This saves repeating the same thing at each level of the
  project hierarchy unnecessarily.


Projects don't always need to add the populated content to the build.
Sometimes the project just wants to make the downloaded content available at
a predictable location.  The next example ensures that a set of standard
company toolchain files (and potentially even the toolchain binaries
themselves) is available early enough to be used for that same build.

.. code-block:: cmake

  cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)

  include(FetchContent)
  FetchContent_Declare(
    mycom_toolchains
    URL  https://intranet.mycompany.com//toolchains_1.3.2.tar.gz
  )
  FetchContent_MakeAvailable(mycom_toolchains)

  project(CrossCompileExample)

The project could be configured to use one of the downloaded toolchains like
so:

.. code-block:: shell

  cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=_deps/mycom_toolchains-src/toolchain_arm.cmake /path/to/src

When CMake processes the ``CMakeLists.txt`` file, it will download and unpack
the tarball into ``_deps/mycompany_toolchains-src`` relative to the build
directory.  The :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE` variable is not used until
the :command:`project` command is reached, at which point CMake looks for the
named toolchain file relative to the build directory.  Because the tarball has
already been downloaded and unpacked by then, the toolchain file will be in
place, even the very first time that ``cmake`` is run in the build directory.

Lastly, the following example demonstrates how one might download and unpack a
firmware tarball using CMake's :manual:`script mode <cmake(1)>`.  The call to
:command:`FetchContent_Populate` specifies all the content details and the
unpacked firmware will be placed in a ``firmware`` directory below the
current working directory.

*getFirmware.cmake*:

.. code-block:: cmake

  # NOTE: Intended to be run in script mode with cmake -P
  include(FetchContent)
  FetchContent_Populate(
    firmware
    URL        https://mycompany.com/assets/firmware-1.23-arm.tar.gz
