In VS 7,8,9 executable targets we generate a build event to create the
output directory for the import library in case the executable marks
symbols with dllexport (VS forgets to create this directory). This
generalizes computation of the custom command line to support future use
with other VS versions.
If an executable marks symbols with __declspec(dllexport) then VS
creates an import library for it. However, it forgets to create the
directory that will contain the import library if it is different from
the location of the executable. We work around this VS bug by creating
a pre-build event on the executable target to make the directory.
In cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator we generate pre-build, pre-link, and
post-build events into project files. This refactors the generation
code for the three event types into a private EventWriter class to avoid
duplicate code.
- This is purely an implementation improvement. No interface has changed.
- Create cmComputeLinkInformation class
- Move and re-implement logic from:
cmLocalGenerator::ComputeLinkInformation
cmOrderLinkDirectories
- Link libraries to targets with their full path (if it is known)
- Dirs specified with link_directories command still added with -L
- Make link type specific to library names without paths
(name libfoo.a without path becomes -Wl,-Bstatic -lfoo)
- Make directory ordering specific to a runtime path computation feature
(look for conflicting SONAMEs instead of library names)
- Implement proper rpath support on HP-UX and AIX.
CMake-SourceFile2-bp and CMake-SourceFile2-b-mp1 to trunk. This
commit is surrounded by tags CMake-SourceFile2-b-mp1-pre and
CMake-SourceFile2-b-mp1-post on the trunk.
The changes re-implement cmSourceFile and the use of it to allow
instances to be created much earlier. The use of cmSourceFileLocation
allows locating a source file referenced by a user to be much simpler
and more robust. The two SetName methods are no longer needed so some
duplicate code has been removed. The strange "SourceName" stuff is
gone. Code that created cmSourceFile instances on the stack and then
sent them to cmMakefile::AddSource has been simplified and converted
to getting cmSourceFile instances from cmMakefile. The CPluginAPI has
preserved the old API through a compatibility interface.
Source lists are gone. Targets now get real instances of cmSourceFile
right away instead of storing a list of strings until the final pass.
TraceVSDependencies has been re-written to avoid the use of
SourceName. It is now called TraceDependencies since it is not just
for VS. It is now implemented with a helper object which makes the
code simpler.
add_custom_target() as COMMAND, and cmake will recognize them and replace
them with the actual output path of these executables. Also the dependency
will be added automatically. Test included.
ENH: moved TraceVSDependencies() to the end of GlobalGenerator::Configure(),
so it is done now in one central place

fix many bugs related to target names being computed inconsistently.
- Centralized computation of a target's file name to a method in
cmTarget. Now that global knowledge is always available the
*_CMAKE_PATH cache variables are no longer needed.
- Centralized computation of link library command lines and link
directory search order.
- Moved computation of link directories needed to link CMake targets
to be after evaluation of linking dependencies.
This also removed alot of duplicate code in which each version had its
own bugs.
This commit is surrounded by the tags
CMake-TargetNameCentralization1-pre
and
CMake-TargetNameCentralization1-post
so make the large set of changes easy to identify.
