Pull request overview
This PR updates Arrow C++’s third-party dependency build logic to vendor RapidJSON via CMake FetchContent instead of ExternalProject, addressing unintended RapidJSONConfig.cmake side effects when the package registry is enabled and improving behavior with newer CMake versions.
Changes:
- Replace RapidJSON’s
ExternalProject_Addbuild/install flow withFetchContent_Declare+FetchContent_MakeAvailable. - Update RapidJSON include path wiring to reference the fetched source tree rather than an install prefix.
- Convert
build_rapidjsonfrom a macro to a function and propagateRAPIDJSON_VENDOREDviaPARENT_SCOPE.
