In cmTarget we trace the dependencies of source files in the target to
bring in all custom commands needed to generate them. We clean up the
implementation to use simpler logic and better method names. The new
approach is based on the observation that a source file is actually an
input (dependency) of the rule that it runs (compiler or custom) even in
the case that it is generated (another .rule file has the rule to
generate it).
This teaches cmTarget to use a set of cmSourceFile pointers to guarantee
unique insertion of source files in a target. The order of insertion is
still preserved in the SourceFiles vector.
When CMake is invoked by the VS IDE re-run rule we compute whether or
not CMake really needs to re-run based on some timestamp helper files.
Previously we assumed that if the main generate.stamp file exists then
VS has correctly detected that the file is out of date. However, this
assumption is too aggressive and re-runs CMake unnecessarily sometimes.
This commit removes the assumption and always checks timestamps itself.
The change breaks the explicit user re-run request (R-click -> Compile)
but only in cases when the build system is already up to date.
The VS generators use a ZERO_CHECK target on which all other targets
depend to check whether CMake needs to re-run. This commit simplifies
the addition of a dependency on the target to all other targets.
We also move addition of dependencies to the beginning of the Generate
step. This allows the dependency on ZERO_CHECK to be included in the
global inter-target dependency analysis.
KWSys tries not to force anything on source files that include its
headers, but Borland warning 8027 leaves us no choice when we want to
have inline function definitions. This commit disables the warning for
the RegularExpression header and any file that includes it.
Until now CMake accidentally accepted add_subdirectory() and subdirs()
calls referring to directories that do not contain a CMakeLists.txt
file. We introduce CMake Policy CMP0014 to make this case an error.
This method tells the cmMakefile to read the input CMakeLists.txt file.
We factor out the call into a ReadInputFile method so it can be extended
without polluting the Configure method.
Much of the code in this method was dedicated to computing ObjectMaxPath
after configuring the directory. We move this last step into its own
ComputeObjectMaxPath method for better organization.
The cmLocalGenerator::Configure method sets its cmLocalGenerator
instance as the global generator's current local generator during
configuration. This commit refactors management of the current local
generator to use an automatic variable. This will allow early returns
from the method.
CMake Makefile generators silently ignore missing CMakeLists.txt files
and just treat the source directory as if it had an empty input file.
This will be addressed with a new CMake Policy, but for now we make the
VS generator consistent with the Makefile generator behavior. The VS
generator will need to handle the OLD behavior of the policy anyway.
The cmGlobalGenerator::AddTargetDepends method traces the dependencies
of targets recursively to collect the complete set of targets needed for
a given project (for VS .sln files). This commit teaches the method to
avoid tracing its dependencies more than once. Otherwise the code does
an all-paths walk needlessly.
We define the export(PACKAGE) command mode to store the location of the
build tree in the user package registry. This will help find_package
locate the package in the build tree. It simplies user workflow for
manually building a series of dependent projects.
A common user workflow is to build a series of dependent projects in
order. Each project locates its dependencies with find_package. We
introduce a "user package registry" to help find_package locate packages
built in non-standard search locations.
The registry explicitly stores locations of build trees providing
instances of a given package. There is no defined order among the
locations specified. These locations should provide package
configuration files (<package>-config.cmake) and package version files
(<package>-config-version.cmake) so that find_package will recognize the
packages and test version numbers.
We create target property "LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY" and a per-config
version "LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY_<CONFIG>". It sets the number of
times a linker should scan through a mutually dependent group of static
libraries. The largest value of this property on any target in the
group is used. This will help projects link even for extreme cases of
cyclic inter-target dependencies.
The 'binary' openmode does not exist on all compilers. We define macro
<kwsys>_ios_binary, where <kwsys> is the KWSys namespace, to refer to
std::ios::binary if it exists and 0 otherwise. Sample usage:
kwsys_ios::ifstream fin(fn, kwsys_ios::ios::in | kwsys_ios_binary);
In cmComputeLinkInformation::Compute we add implicit link information
from languages other than the linker language to the end of the link
line. This factors out that code into separate methods to improve
readability and organization.
CTest runs 'svn status' to identify modified and conflicting files in
the working directory. This commit fixes the interpretation of the 'X'
status, which corresponds to svn eXternals. This status should be
ignored rather than treated as a local modification.
This introduces a new syntax called "generator expressions" to the test
COMMAND option of the add_test(NAME) command mode. These expressions
have a syntax like $<TARGET_FILE:mytarget> and are evaluated during
build system generation. This syntax allows per-configuration target
output files to be referenced in test commands and arguments.
We creates methods IsDLLPlatform() and HasImportLibrary(). The former
returns true on Windows. The latter returns whether the target has a
DLL import library. It is true on Windows for shared libraries and
executables with exports.
We teach cmTestGenerator::GenerateScriptConfigs to use the general
cmLocalGenerator::EscapeForCMake method to write escaped test property
values into test scripts. This eliminates the previous hand-coded
escaping implementation.
The find_package commands looks at the "WhereBuild" registry entries
created by CMakeSetup and cmake-gui hoping that the project was recently
built. CMakeSetup created WhereBuild1..WhereBuild10 but cmake-gui
creates WhereBuild0-WhereBuild9.
This fixes find_package to look at WhereBuild0 so that the most recently
configured project can be found. It is important in the case that the
package to be found was the last one configured in cmake-gui but the
current project that is finding it is configured from the command line.
The try_compile command builds the cmTryCompileExec executable using the
cmTryCompileExec/fast target with Makefile generators in order to save
time since dependencies are not needed. However, in project mode the
command builds an entire source tree that may have dependencies.
Therefore we can use the /fast target approach only in one-source mode.
When building an entire source tree with try_compile instead of just a
single source file, it is possible that the CMakeLists.txt file in the
try-compiled project invokes try_compile. This commit fixes propagation
of language-initialization results from the outer-most project into any
number of try-compile levels.
The commit "Fix get_filename_component ABSOLUTE mode" broke the code
get_filename_component(cwd . ABSOLUTE)
because CTest scripts did not make cmMakefile::GetCurrentDirectory()
available. This commit fixes the problem by setting the proper
information on CTest script instances of cmMakefile.
This also makes CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR and CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
available to CTest scripts. They are set to the working directory at
script startup.
CMake 2.4 generates old-style cmake_install.cmake code including calls
to the file(INSTALL) command with the COMPONENTS argument. We need to
set CMAKE_INSTALL_SELF_2_4 for the whole install tree to prevent the
command from complaining in this special case. Previously this was
needed only in the QtDialog directory, but now it is needed in the
entire tree.
The commit "Consider link dependencies for link language" taught CMake
to propagate linker language preference from languages compiled into
libraries linked by a target. It turns out this should only be done for
some languages, such as C++, because normally the language of the
program entry point (main) should be used.
We introduce variable CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE_PROPAGATES to tell
CMake whether a language should propagate its linker preference across
targets. Currently it is true only for C++.
This factors the decision logic out of cmTarget::ComputeLinkClosure into
dedicated class cmTargetSelectLinker. We replace several local
variables with a single object instance, and organize code into methods.
All global generator CreateLocalGenerator methods automatically
initialize the local generator instances with SetGlobalGenerator. In
several places we were calling SetGlobalGenerator again after receiving
the return value from CreateLocalGenerator. The double-initializations
leaked the resources allocated by the first call to SetGlobalGenerator.
This fix removes the unnecessary calls.
We list implicit link items of languages linked into a target but filter
them by the implicit libraries known to be passed by the main linker
language. Implicit link flags like "-z..." should not be filtered out
because they are not libraries.
In cmComputeLinkInformation we recognize link options that look like
library file names, but pass flags starting in '-' through untouched.
This fixes the ordering of the check to recognize '-' flags first in
case the rest of the option looks like a library file name, as in the
case of "-l:libfoo.a".
In cmComputeLinkInformation we construct regular expressions to
recognize library file names. This fixes the expressions to not allow a
colon (':') in the file name so that "-l:libfoo.a" is left alone.
Some AIX/gcc version combinations the <cstdio> header breaks when large
file support is enabled. See this GCC issue for details:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20366
We work around the problem by enhancing the configuration check for
large file support to include <cstdio> when available. This will cause
LFS to be disabled when the above problem occurs.
This adds implicit libraries and search directories for languages linked
into a target other than the linker language to its link line. For
example, when linking an executable containing both C++ and Fortran code
the C++ linker is used but we need to add the Fortran libraries.
The variables
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES
contain the implicit libraries and directories for each language.
Entries for the linker language are known to be implicit in the
generated link line. Entries for other languages that do not appear in
the known implicit set are listed explicitly at the end of the link
line.
The "Keep only FinalPass commands in memory" commit caused instances of
this command to be deleted after the InitialPass. Even though the
variable_watch command does not have a final pass, it does need to stay
alive because it owns the callback information.
In cmMakefile we save all invoked commands so that FinalPass can be
called on them later. Most commands have no final pass, so we should
keep only the few that do.
This teaches CMake to detect implicit link information for C, C++, and
Fortran compilers. We detect the implicit linker search directories and
implicit linker options for UNIX-like environments using verbose output
from compiler front-ends. We store results in new variables called
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES
The implicit libraries can contain linker flags as well as library
names.
This teaches the command to recognize full windows paths when built on
UNIX. CollapseFullPath knows when the input path is relative better
than FileIsFullPath because the latter is only meant for paths from the
host platform.
Previously each new variable scope (subdirectory or function call) in
the CMake language created a complete copy of the key->value definition
map. This avoids the copy using transitive lookups up the scope stack.
Results of queries answered by parents are stored locally to maintain
locality of reference.
The class cmDefinitions replaces cmMakefile::DefinitionsMap, and is
aware of its enclosing scope. Each scope stores only the definitions
set (or unset!) inside it relative to the enclosing scope.
Generated makefiles for try-compile projects should never use color
output. On MSYS the color escapes end up in the try-compile output text
because there is no way to identify whether the output is going to a
color-capable terminal. Instead we should just always skip color for
try-compile projects.
