This tracking was added during the development of commit 042ecf04
(Add API to calculate link-interface-dependent bool properties
or error., 2013-01-06), but was never used.
It was not necessary to use the content because what is really
useful in that logic is to determine if a property has been implied
to be null by appearing in a LINK_LIBRARIES genex.
I think the motivating usecase for developing the feature of
keeping track of the targets relevant to a property was that I
thought it would make it possible to allow requiring granular
compatibility of interface properties only for targets which
depended on the interface property. Eg:
add_library(foo ...)
add_library(bar ...)
add_executable(user ...)
# Read the INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE from bar, but not
# from foo:
target_link_libraries(user foo $<$<TARGET_PROPERTY:POSTITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE>:bar>)
This obviously doesn't make sense. We require that INTERFACE
properties are consistent across all linked targets instead.
Generator expressions whose output depends on the configuration
now record that fact. The GetIncludeDirectories method can use
that result to cache the include directories for later calls.
GetIncludeDirectories is called multiple times for a target
for each configuration, so this should restore performance for
multi-config generators.
This is for specifying INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES relevant to the build-location
or the install location for example:
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
"$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR};${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}>"
"$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include>"
)
A 'bar' target can then use:
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
"$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>"
)
and it will work whether foo is in the same project, or an imported target
from an installation location, or an imported target from a build location
generated by the export() command.
Because the generator expressions are only evaluated at build-time, these
new expressions are equivalent to the ZeroNode and OneNode.
The GeneratorExpression test is split into parts. Some shells can't run
the custom command as it is getting too long.
Following from the discussion here:

(Re: Generator expressisons in target properties, 26 Oct 12:10)
we can't split cmTarget API for linking into cmGeneratorTarget. In
the future we will probably also need to move the include and compile
definitions API back to cmTarget so that it can be used by export().
This fixes a regression introduced in commit 290e92ad (Move
GetIncludeDirectories to cmGeneratorTarget, 2012-09-16) which loops over
cmGeneratorTargets before they get created, so the container is empty.
There are two overloads, so that it can use the operational
target when a target property is being evaluated, and a target
can alternatively be specified by name.
At this point, the generators don't chain. That comes later.
Removing the Process() API and removing the parameters from the
constructor will allow cmGeneratorExpressions to be cached and evaluated
with multiple configs for example, such as when evaluating target
properties. This requires the creation of a new compiled representation
of cmGeneratorExpression. The cmListFileBacktrace remains in the
constructor so that we can record where a particular generator
expression appeared in the CMakeLists file.
The expressions may be parsed and then cached and evaluated multiple
times. They are evaluated lazily so that literals such as ',' can be
treated as universal parameter separators, and can be processed from
results without appearing literally, and without interfering with the
parsing/evaluation of the entire expression.
This expression evaluates to '1' or '0' to indicate whether the build
configuration for which the expression is evaluated matches tha named
configuration. In combination with the "$<0:...>" and "$<1:...>"
expressions this allows per-configuration content to be generated.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
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.
