Currently, export() is executed at configure-time.
One problem with this is that certain exported properties like
the link interface may not be complete at the point the export() is
encountered leading to an incorrect or incomplete exported
representation. Additionally, the generated IMPORTED_LOCATION
property may even be incorrect if commands following the export()
have an effect on it.
Another problem is that it requires the C++ implementation of cmake
to be capable of computing the exported information at configure time.
This is a limitation on the cleanup and maintenance of the code. At
some point in the future, this limitation will be dropped and more
implementation will be moved from cmTarget to cmGeneratorTarget.
This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be
used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce
that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used
with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties
matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for
this target type.
The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator
expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target,
but with the additional restriction that it may not contain
double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED
or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13.
An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library.
At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the
buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may
be added as a feature in a later commit.
The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja
generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes
related to that.

This commit adds the ability to ccmake of cycling through cache options.
This uses the STRINGS property of the cache entry. The enter key will cycle
forward, and the right and left arrows will go up and down in the list.
Re-insert the semicolon which was removed during splitting.
Commit d777b8e7 (Genex: Allow relative paths in INSTALL_INTERFACE.,
2013-07-25) introduced the prefixItems method to allow relative paths
in the argument of the INSTALL_INTERFACE expression. That method was
buggy in that it did not re-introduce the semicolon separator in
the result.
This bug also affects paths which are already absolute in user code.
Some compilers try to simulate other compilers as a drop-in replacement
supporting all the same command-line options and predefined preprocessor
macros. In such cases it will be useful to have CMake load the compiler
information files for the simulated compiler instead of duplicating the
information. Teach CMakeDetermineCompilerId to extract the simulated
compiler id and version when the compiler id detection provides it.
Move the cmake::ExecuteCMakeCommand static method and all the static
methods it calls out of the 'cmake' class to a separate 'cmcmd' class.
Build the latter as part of the main cmake executable with cmakemain.cxx
and not in CMakeLib. Drop unused header includes from "cmake.cxx".
By moving this implementation out of cmake.cxx we avoid carrying it
around in all the executables that use class 'cmake'. It is needed only
for the main "cmake -E" functionality.
Xcode 2.1 through 4 supported $(CURRENT_ARCH) in a PBXFileReference
'path' value used in the "Link Binary with Libraries" build phase.
CMake uses this to reference object file locations on link lines to
bring in OBJECT library content. However, Xcode 5 now evaluates the
$(CURRENT_ARCH) reference in this context as "undefined_arch" so the
wrong path is given to the linker. There seems to be no alternative way
to produce an architecture-specific value in a PBXFileReference.
Fortunately Xcode 5 now also handles link dependencies for paths linked
through OTHER_LDFLAGS. For Xcode >= 5, move the OBJECT library object
file references from the link build phase to OTHER_LDFLAGS. We can
still show the object files in the source group listing in either case.
Xcode 5.0 now computes dependencies from files linked through
OTHER_LDFLAGS, so we no longer need the XCODE_DEPEND_HELPER hack to
re-link dependents when targets change.
In buggy code like
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/out.h
MAIN_DEPENDENCY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/out.h.in
...)
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/out.h
...)
that has more than one rule to generate the same output CMake has always
used the first rule. However, since commit 2268c41a (Optimize custom
command full-path dependency lookup, 2013-08-06) we update the map from
output to cmSourceFile for every rule generating an output, effectively
keeping the last command instead of the first.
Fix this regression by checking for each map update if the output
already has an entry. If so, keep only the original entry. The VS 8
generator triggers this with a special case for generate.stamp rules
that differ between ZERO_CHECK and normal targets, so do not warn for
now. Leave a TODO comment for warning in the future.
