We use cmGlobalGenerator::GetDirectoryContent to avoid repeating
directory listings. However, GetDirectoryContent loads content from
disk at most once. This breaks find_library calls that occur when disk
content has changed since preceding find_library calls.
Teach cmGlobalGenerator::GetDirectoryContent to save the directory
modification time when content is loaded and re-load content if it
changes.
Create a RunCMake.find_library test with a case covering this.
A common idiom in CMake-based build systems is to have custom commands
that generate files not listed explicitly as outputs so that these
files do not have to be newer than the inputs. The file modification
times of such "byproducts" are updated only when their content changes.
Then other build rules can depend on the byproducts explicitly so that
their dependents rebuild when the content of the original byproducts
really does change.
This "undeclared byproduct" approach is necessary for Makefile, VS, and
Xcode build tools because if a byproduct were listed as an output of a
rule then the rule would always rerun when the input is newer than the
byproduct but the byproduct may never be updated.
Ninja solves this problem by offering a 'restat' feature to check
whether an output was really modified after running a rule and tracking
the fact that it is up to date separately from its timestamp. However,
Ninja also stats all dependencies up front and will only restat files
that are listed as outputs of rules with the 'restat' option enabled.
Therefore an undeclared byproduct that does not exist at the start of
the build will be considered missing and the build will fail even if
other dependencies would cause the byproduct to be available before its
dependents build.
CMake works around this limitation by adding 'phony' build rules for
custom command dependencies in the build tree that do not have any
explicit specification of what produces them. This is not optimal
because it prevents Ninja from reporting an error when an input to a
rule really is missing. A better approach is to allow projects to
explicitly specify the byproducts of their custom commands so that no
phony rules are needed for them. In order to work with the non-Ninja
generators, the byproducts must be known separately from the outputs.
Add a new "BYPRODUCTS" option to the add_custom_command and
add_custom_target commands to specify byproducts explicitly. Teach the
Ninja generator to specify byproducts as outputs of the custom commands.
In the case of POST_BUILD, PRE_LINK, and PRE_BUILD events on targets
that link, the byproducts must be specified as outputs of the link rule
that runs the commands. Activate 'restat' for such rules so that Ninja
knows it needs to check the byproducts, but not for link rules that have
no byproducts.
The special case added by commit v2.4.0~3051 (When building CMake
itself, use the new cmake to install so that the current cmake can be
overwritten, 2004-06-09) does not make sense when cross-compiling.
The evaluation files must be known before cmTargetTraceDependencies
attempts to find them, but we must actually generate the files after
cmTargetTraceDependencies, as that can add to target SOURCES. The
limitation is that the generated output name must not depend on the
SOURCES of a target if the generated file is used by that target.
Mark the output files as GENERATED so that trace dependencies does
not expect them to already exist in the filesystem.
Move the invokation of ForceLinkerLanguage in the Generate logic
to after the generated file names are known. ForceLinkerLanguage
tries to determine the sources of a target (in order to determine
an already-known language) and otherwise fails to get information
about the generated file.
Test that the output of file(GENERATE) can be used as a target source
file and that accessing the target SOURCES in the name of the output
file is an error. Accessing the TARGET_OBJECTS would be a similar
error if it was legal to use that generator expression in this
context. That is not currently possible and is a different error
condition, so test the current error output as a reminder to change
the expected output if that becomes possible in the future. Test
that generated rule files resulting from cmTargetTraceDependencies
appear in the SOURCES generated in the output file.
Visual Studio 12 (2013) deprecated GetVersionEx:
warning C4996: 'GetVersionExW': was declared deprecated
in favor of either "versionhelpers.h" or VerifyVersionInfo, neither of
which exist in some of the older compilers we support. Rather than
try to port conditionally to VerifyVersionInfo, simply suppress the
warning for now.
In cmGlobalGenerator::EnableLanguage, fix error messages for missing
module files to actually name the missing module instead of using the
empty string returned by GetModulesFile.
Call SetSystemName, SetGeneratorPlatform, and SetGeneratorToolset
exactly once after reading CMakeSystem.cmake, and not again on another
call to enable_language() or project().
Reject the option by default. It will be implemented on a per-generator
basis. Pass the setting into try_compile project generation. Add cache
entry CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.
Add a RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test to cover basic use cases for the
option. Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM is empty by default, and
that it is rejected when the generator does not support a user setting.
Move handling of an empty toolset name into the implementation of the
method. This simplifies the VS 10 implementation of default toolset
selection because it has one code path that is always called.
The implementation of CMP0047 detects the QNX compiler id internally,
then changes it to GNU after the language is fully enabled. This is too
late to correctly set the old IS_GNU variables, so set them as part of
the policy OLD behavior.

No call sites pass NULL to the output argument, so take it by
reference to avoid the if(output) conditions. Propagate the
change through the TryCompile APIs that call it.
The cmGlobalGenerator::ResolveLanguageCompiler method, invoked only by
Makefile generators, contains code originally added by commit v2.4.0~796
(..., add new generators for msys and mingw, 2005-12-22) to compute the
full path to the compiler and save the result back into the cache value.
Since then the CMakeDetermine*Compiler modules have learned to resolve
the full path to the compiler and save it in CMake*Compiler.cmake files
configured in the build tree. The value of CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER in the
cache is now only for reference of what the user originally specified.
The full path is now available in a normal variable of the same name,
and this is used by project code and the generators.
When the user specifies -DCMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER=name on the command-line
of an existing build tree that uses a Makefile generator, it is first
stored in the cache with an uninitialized type. Then later when
ResolveLanguageCompiler updates the cache entry and sets the type to
FILEPATH, cmMakefile::AddCacheDefinition does CollapseFullPath on the
"name" and ends up with something like "$PWD/name" which is unlikely to
be correct. Furthermore, cmMakefile::AddCacheDefinition proceeds to
remove the normal variable of the same name, so the value originally
saved in CMake<LANG>Compiler.cmake is ignored and the generators use the
wrong path to the compiler.
Resolve this by dropping the code from ResolveLanguageCompiler that
touches the cache value of CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER. As explained above it
is no longer needed anyway.
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.
Add a cmGlobalGenerator::SetSystemName virtual method. Call it from
cmGlobalGenerator::EnableLanguage as soon as CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is known.
This will give generators a chance to adapt themselves to the target
system. Pass the cmMakefile instance to the method so that the
generator can update it accordingly. Return early from EnableLanguage
if SetSystemName returns false.
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.
Teach set_property and get_property an "INSTALL" property type to be
associated with install-tree file paths. Make the properties available
to CPack for use during packaging. Add a "prop_inst" Sphinx domain
object type for documentation of such properties.
Create a Modules/CMakeSystemSpecificInitialize.cmake module loaded after
CMakeSystem.cmake but before per-language initialization. Use it to
load an optional Platform/<os>-Initialize.cmake module. This will be
useful to do per-platform initialization that does not depend on the
language and use the results when enabling specific languages.

...
Disallow the use of config-specific source files with
the Visual Studio and Xcode generators. They don't have
any way to represent the condition currently.
Use the same common-config API in cmQtAutoGenerators. While
it accepts config-specific files, it doesn't have to support
multiple configurations yet.
Loop over the configs in cmTargetTraceDependencies
and cmGlobalGenerator::WriteSummary and consume all source
files.
Loop over the configs in cmComputeTargetDepends and compute the
object library dependencies for each config.
Add a ComputeObjectMapping method to compute the object
names. It takes mapping to populate as an out-parameter so
that it can be extended in the future with parameters
relevant to generator expression evaluation.
Remove the supporting cmGeneratorTarget::AddObject method. It is
no longer needed as the container member is populated directly.
The ComputeObjectMapping method is called whenever objects are
requested from the cmGeneratorTarget. Because the Xcode generator
makes no such request, explicitly invoke the method from that
generator so that the logic of checking for bad sources in object
libraries is executed.
In a follow-up, the UseObjectLibraries usage may be replaced by a
true generator expression evaluator for TARGET_OBJECTS. That
will require generators to use cmGeneratorTarget::GetExternalObjects
which is not currently the case for Xcode and VS generators.
These policies are triggered by the use of a particular compiler rather
than outdated CMake code in a project. Avoid warning in every project
that enables a language by not displaying the policy warning by default.
Add variable CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN> to control the warning
explicitly; otherwise enable the warning with --debug-output or --trace.
This breaks with strict policy convention because it does not provide
developers with any warning about the behavior change by default.
Existing projects will continue to build without a warning or change in
behavior. When a developer changes the minimum required version of
CMake in a project to a sufficiently high value (3.0), the project will
suddenly get the new compiler id and may break, but at least the
breakage comes with a change to the project rather than the version of
CMake used to build it.
Breaking strict policy convention is worthwhile in this case because
very few projects will be affected by the behavior change but every
project would have to see the warning if it were enabled by default.
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.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
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.
Implement a Visitor to hold the sequence of source file tests
for populating outputs. Use VS 6 and 7 workaround from Brad
King for lack of partial template specialization and function
template specialization capabilities.
This will make it possible to use context dependent generator
expressions to determine the sources of a target.
In a follow-up, the list of sources will become dependent on
the config, so check for existence in cmTarget::GetSourceFiles
instead of up-front with cmGlobalGenerator::CheckTargets().
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.
Introduce policy CMP0047 to control resetting the id for
compatibility.
De-duplicate content in the QNX platform file by including the GNU
one. QNX is a form of GNU platform.
Do not clear CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_${lang}_FLAGS variables. They
are populated again later by the Compiler/GNU.cmake file anyway.
Modify the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_OBJECT variable only when the QCC
compiler id is in use, and the language is CXX. Use the QNX
recommended flag for QCC instead of the gcc compatible -x flag.
Populate new module files to handle system includes and depfiles
when using the QCC compiler.
Remove code which unsets the system include and depfiles related
variables. When a GNU driver is used instead of the QCC one, the
appropriate flags will be used. These variables were previously
cleared for lowest-common-denominator compatibility with both
drivers.

Store cmExportBuildFileGenerator instances which correspond to the
export(EXPORT) signature in a second map which does not own the
pointers. This avoids the need to add cmExportBuildFileGenerator
and dependencies to the bootstrap system.
Direct users of IMPORTED targets treat INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
as SYSTEM, after commit a63fcbcb (Always consider includes from IMPORTED
targets to be SYSTEM., 2013-08-29). It was intended that transitive
use of an IMPORTED target would have the same behavior, but that
did not work. The implementation processed only direct dependencies
in cmTarget::FinalizeSystemIncludeDirectories.
Implement transitive evaluation of dependencies by traversing the
link interface of each target in the link implementation.
The parent commit changed the AutogensType::value_type to be
"std::pair<cmQtAutoGenerators,cmTarget const*>" but our std::make_pair
call returns "std::pair<cmQtAutoGenerators,cmTarget*>". Construct the
value_type directly instead of using make_pair. Otherwise the Sun 5.9
compiler complains
".../Source/cmGlobalGenerator.cxx", line 1281: Error:
Formal argument x of type "const std::pair<cmQtAutoGenerators, const cmTarget*>&"
in call to "std::vector<std::pair<cmQtAutoGenerators, const cmTarget*> >
::push_back(const std::pair<cmQtAutoGenerators, const cmTarget*>&)" is being
passed "std::pair<cmQtAutoGenerators, cmTarget*>".
As we're iterating over IMPORTED targets now, handle them in
the loop body. The existing behavior is harmless because generally
nothing is done anyway for IMPORTED targets in these code paths,
because they do not have sources for example.
As an INTERFACE_LIBRARY has no direct link dependencies, we can
short-circuit in cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator and
in cmGlobalGenerator::CheckLocalGenerators.
As they do not generate any output directly, any generate- or install-
related code acn also be short-circuited. Many of the local generators
already do this.
Because only INTERFACE related properties make sense on INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets, avoid setting other properties, for example via defaults.

Teach add_custom_target to check the policy too. Extend the policy to
disallow reserved target names that we use for builtin targets like
"all".
Extend the RunCMake.CMP0037 test to cover these cases.
Code paths that look up CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM from the cache only to
pass it to Build, which only passes it to GenerateBuildCommand,
no longer need to do so. GenerateBuildCommand now knows how to
look up CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in the cache when no explicit value
is given, so simply pass 0 now.
Add a cmGlobalGenerator::SelectMakeProgram method to select a
caller-provided make program, the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry, or a
generator-provided default. Call it from all implementations of the
GenerateBuildCommand method with the corresponding generator's default,
if any.
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.
