Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties. Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important. Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.
Add a cmTarget::CompileInfo struct to hold per-configuration information
about the compilation settings in a target. This is different than
cmTarget::OutputInfo because it applies to any targets that can compile
sources even if they do not link or archive.
Replace calls to GetLinkInformation with calls to a method to get only
the target closure, not the link languages etc. The replaced calls
are used while evaluating generator expressions only. This makes
transitive generator expression evaluation independent from
the languages of a target. In a follow-up topic, it will be possible
to make the languages depend on generator expression evaluation, via
evaluation of the SOURCES and INTERFACE_SOURCES target properties.
Because the order of entries is not the same as the final link line,
the order of debug output is different in the RunCMake.CompatibleInterface
test, because the BOOL_PROP7 target property is evaluated first. Adjust
the test to account for that new order.
For the OLD CMP0022 behavior, we need to treat the implementation
as the interface when computing the interface libraries. Make it
possible to do that without computing the link languages by adding
a new GetLinkImplementationLibraries method. Extend the existing
GetLinkImplementation method to populate the languages if the
libraries have already been computed and cached.
Change GetTransitivePropertyTargets to invoke GetLinkInterfaceLibraries
instead of GetLinkInterface. This is key, as it is a method called
by cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator.
Change the cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator to invoke
GetLinkImplementationLibraries instead of GetLinkImplementation.
When evaluating the SOURCES property, we will need to be able to access
the link libraries without accessing the link languages, as the languages
depend on the SOURCES.
Arrange the logic so that the part which deals with libraries only is
at the top. In a follow-up commit, this will be split into two methods.
Ensure that the explanatory CMP0022 comment is only present in one
location.
The callers already skip non-targets, so unify the target search.
Change supporting functions to accept a container of targets instead
of strings where possible.
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().
It accepts a before parameter but is never called with before=true.
compile definitions are sorted by std::set, so it wouldn't make sense
to allow user sorting.
Most callers already have a std::string, on which they called c_str() to pass it
into these methods, which internally converted it back to std::string. Pass a
std::string directly to these methods now, avoiding all these conversions.
Those methods that only pass in a const char* will get the conversion to
std::string now only once.
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.
There is no need to allow EXCLUDE_* properties, because an
INTERFACE_LIBRARY has no direct build output.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES are relevant only to static
libraries.
VERSION is relevant only to the filename of direct build outputs,
which INTERFACE_LIBRARY does not have.
If the dependent target sets the property to boolean false, ensure
that that appears in the debug report. Previously, the report
output contained whether the property was consistent among dependencies,
displaying 'TRUE', instead of the content of the property, which may
be 'FALSE'.
Return a std::pair from the consistentProperty method. This makes
it possible to make the return value for string types easier to
reason about. The return value of consistentProperty was previously
set to an empty static string to emulate a 'true' value for the caller
in commit 816b4a8a (cmTarget: Make consistentProperty
return consistent content., 2013-10-22). The pair makes the
consistency result properly typed.
Don't refer to 'both', but a 'mixture'. List all compatible interface
property types possible.
Add another test for a mixture of three compatibilities.
The include_directories() and add_compile_options() commands
should not append to the corresponding target property for IMPORTED
targets. This is already the case for add_definitions().
The INTERFACE_LIBRARY type does not have any LOCATION at all, so
return early from GetMappedConfig. GetMappedConfig is called from
two locations, one of which already pre-checks the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
case. Remove that pre-check and handle that case inside the method
instead.
77f3772 cmTarget: Require a compatible INTERFACE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS from dependencies.
2e60b5f cmTarget: Report origin of COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE properties.
Revert the origin-tracking infrastructure from commit 98093c45 (QtAutoUic:
Add INTERFACE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS target property., 2013-11-20). Use the
compatibility-tracking for compatible strings instead.
If two different dependencies require different AUTOUIC_OPTIONS,
cmake will now appropriately issue an error.
Targets which link directly to themselves should not result in
generate-time errors (reported by the DAG checker).
Self-links are handled separately with policy CMP0038.
Transitively consume the property from linked dependents.
Implement configuration-specific support by following the pattern
set out for compile definitions and includes in cmQtAutoGenerators.
Implement support for origin-tracking with CMAKE_DEBUG_TARGET_PROPERTIES.
This is motivated by the needs of KDE, which provides a separate
translation system based on gettext instead of the Qt linguist
translation system. The Qt uic tool provides command line options
for configuring the method used to translate text, and to add an
include directive to the generated file to provide the method.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.frameworks/7930/focus=7992
Implement the interface to provide the uic options as a usage-requirement
on the KI18n target, as designed for KDE.
