this patch series aims to minimize deltas between the CMake Xcode
generator and Xcode itself. It was started by the observation that
if one makes any change to the project within Xcode (e.g. to see
how a variable is called internally) the user cannot diff the CMake
project and the one stored by Xcode afterwards.
Xcode keeps the objects ordered by the object id.
Because cmake stores them into an unordered container
at creation time they must be sorted before writing the
pbxproj file.
I tested this series with Xcode 6.3 and Xcode 3.2. Both show a
reduced diff after this series was applied.
The Ninja build system does not support a in-file verbositiy switch.
Instead teach 'cmake --build' to extract the CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE
setting and pass it as an optional '-v' argument to Ninja. This can
serve as a reasonable fallback.

The "cmakexbuild" wrapper is not needed for Xcode 4 and above, and the
path to it may change when CMake moves. Avoid storing a specific path
to a build program in CMakeCache.txt and instead compute the value for
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM on demand. However, if a user does set the value
explicitly then honor it.
This does for Xcode what commit v3.0.0-rc1~260^2~4 (VS: Switch to
internal CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM lookup by generators, 2013-11-15) did for
Visual Studio generators.
Teach the Xcode generator to compute the location of this tool or the
cmakexbuild wrapper. Add internal APIs to get the locations on demand.
Use the "cmakexbuild" wrapper for Xcode < 4, and "xcodebuild" for modern
Xcode.
In commit v3.1.0-rc1~687^2~4 (cmTarget: Make the source files depend on
the config, 2014-02-13) an early termination case was added to the Xcode
generator. Fix handling of this case to actually abort all the
generation steps. Otherwise some of the later steps are attempted
without the preconditions normally established by earlier steps,
possibly leading to a crash.
The Xcode generator uses Makefiles under a run-script build-phase to
drive custom commands. Fix the generated makefiles for custom commands
with multiple outputs to list all the outputs on the left hand side of
the build rule. This is much simpler and more reliable than the old
multiple-output-pair infrastructure.
Xcode 6 introduced an 'OTHER_LIBTOOLFLAGS' setting for the "Other
Librarian Flags" of a static library. Now 'OTHER_LDFLAGS' are ignored.
Teach the Xcode generator to choose the correct name for the build
setting based on the type of target and the version of Xcode.

Make the virtual 'Generate' method protected. Make 'DoGenerate'
the main entry point to generation. This gives cmGlobalGenerator
a chance to do some early operations before the individual
generator-specific implementations take over.
Delay use of CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET until the CMakeSystem.cmake
file has been configured and loaded during the first project() or
enable_language() command. This gives the toolchain file named by
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE a chance to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET. This
point is still early enough to set the generator toolset prior to
the initialization of any languages that might use the toolset.
The cmake::GeneratorToolset member variable remains an indication
of what was specified by the -T option or loaded from the cache.
It does not need to be updated based on the toolchain file setting.
The cmMakefile::TryCompile can still pass cmake::GeneratorToolset
into the inner instance because the try-compiled project will do
platform and language initialization using the CMakeSystem module
configured for the outer project.
Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test with cases that use a
toolchain file to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET.
Add source file properties to control Xcode file type attributes:
XCODE_EXPLICIT_FILE_TYPE => explicitFileType
XCODE_LAST_KNOWN_FILE_TYPE => lastKnownFileType
Add a RunCMake.XcodeProject test to verify generated project content.
Implement it in terms of the ComputeObjectFilenames virtual method
on the local generators.
Remove the reimplementation from the global generators which are
now all functionally identical.
Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
When using link_directories() and including CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR,
one can end up with duplicate RPATHs in the binary which
install_name_tool cannot fix without corrupting the binary.
Also, the cmake_install.cmake file has been fixed to correctly
handle these generator specific variables.
All cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand call sites that need to
produce a string now generate "cmake --build" commands. The remaining
call sites immediately pass the result to cmSystemTools::RunSingleCommand.
Avoid the intermediate string and argument parsing by directly producing a
vector of strings. Also drop the ignoreErrors argument because no call
sites remain that use it.
All generators now support detection of the full path to the compiler, so
require it to be so. This will allow CMake<LANG>Information.cmake and
other logic to assume the full path to the compiler tool is available.
The Makefile generators already rejected CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER values
that did not name an existing compiler. Extend this error message to
all generators, make it occur as early as possible, and improve the
message with advice about how to set the compiler. If the full path to
the compiler is not known, finish enabling languages with a fatal error
so configuration does not continue.
For now, allow the RC language compiler to not be a full path. Later we
will need to detect the full path to "rc" under the VS IDE.
Add a RunCMake.CompilerNotFound test to cover failure cases.
Fix the RunCMake.CompilerChange test EmptyCompiler case to work
when configuration does not continue past enable_language.
Factor appending of individual flags out into an AppendFlagEscape method
in cmLocalGenerator and teach it to use EscapeForShell. Update all
COMPILE_OPTIONS handling to use AppendFlagEscape.
Override the method in the Xcode generator to use its custom escape
implementation.
Teach the CompileOptions test to add an option that requires escaping
everywhere instead of just with the GNU tools.
Extend the cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand virtual method
signature with a "projectDir" parameter specifying the top of the
project build tree for which the build command will be generated.
Populate it from call sites in cmGlobalGenerator::Build where a
fully-generated build tree should be available.
Rename cmGlobalGenerator::GetCMakeCFG{InitDirectory => IntDir} to
have a shorter name without a typo. Add a 'const' qualifier since
the method is only for lookup and never needs to modify anything.
Remove partial implementation added by commit ca0230a3 (check in initial
conv library stuff, 2007-02-16) since it was never finished. It does
not make sense for multi-configuration generators since no specific
build configuration is processed at CMake time.
Commit 8a0eb78f (Constify many getters of cmGlobalGenerator, 2011-03-26)
added const qualifiers to many cmGlobalGenerator methods. Fix the
signature of the virtual function overrides in cmGlobalXCodeGenerator to
match.
For project and target objects, save their ids in CMakeCache.txt.
Hopefully, that will be enough to allow user settings to be saved
across multiple CMake generate operations. Other object types may
also need their ids saved: if so, more code than this commit
will be necessary...

d0a403f CMake: Move tokenize to cmSystemTools
A post-build phase of each target invokes the XCODE_DEPEND_HELPER.make
file to erase any targets that link to it. Narrow the set of targets
tested by each post-build phase to those that depend on the newly
completed target. This avoids removing files from partially built
unrelated targets that happen to be building in parallel.
Previously the Xcode generator would rerun CMake only if input file
dependencies in the top-level directory changed. Teach it to depend on
input files from all directories. Other generators already do this.
