Make blocks adding MS-tool-specific options conditional on a
new "MSTools" boolean member of cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.
Hard-code the member to true for now to preserve existing behavior.
Teach the VS >= 10 generator to honor flags other than -I and -D
in the CMAKE_RC_FLAGS[_<CONFIG>] variable. Place them within the
ResourceCompile .vcxproj element under AdditionalOptions.
Also add a rudimentary flag map to map '-n' to 'NullTerminateStrings'.
Run cmparseMSBuildXML.py on cl.xml, lib.xml, and link.xml to generate
our flag tables:
python cmparseMSBuildXML.py -x ".../MSBuild/Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V140/1033/cl.xml" > cmVS14CLFlagTable.h
python cmparseMSBuildXML.py -x ".../MSBuild/Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V140/1033/lib.xml" > cmVS14LibFlagTable.h
python cmparseMSBuildXML.py -x ".../MSBuild/Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V140/1033/link.xml" > cmVS14LinkFlagTable.h
Fix up the declaration names at the top of each file. Finally, teach
cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator to select the version of the table
matching the version of VS.

Factor a WriteMSToolConfigurationValues helper method out of the
cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteProjectConfigurationValues method
to isolate the configuration settings specific to MS tools.
The cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::ComputeClOptions method is
only called when the target type compiles, so do not duplicate
that check in the implementation.
When a binary output file is to have no extension, the TargetExt
element in the vcxproj cannot be left empty because VS will choose
a default extension. Instead use "." because the Windows filesystem
will treat that as an empty extension.
In cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator, convert the static functions
currently used to lookup the flag table for each tool into class
methods. This avoids passing the this->LocalGenerator member and
gives the methods access to other information that may be useful
in the future.
As explained in cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteSource comments,
VS tools append relative paths to the current directory, e.g.
c:\path\to\current\dir\..\..\..\relative\path\to\source.c
and fail if this is over 250 charaters or so. Previously we used a full
path only if no relative path could be constructed with a leading "../"
sequence that does not escape the source or build tree. This means that
long relative paths can be generated when the build tree is inside the
source tree, and can cause build failures due to the above path
concatenation problem.
Teach cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::ConvertPath to ask the Convert
method to honor CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS. This will cause it to use
full paths by default but still give users the option of getting the
relative paths when possible.

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.
Remove use of UseObjectLibraries from Makefile and Ninja generators. It
is not needed now because those generators use GetExternalObjects
which already contains the objects from object libraries.
The VS10 generator calls both the UseObjectLibraries and the GetExternalObjects
methods. Ensure that duplicates are not created by skipping objects
from object libraries in handling of GetExternalObjects.
Similarly, fix VS6, VS7 and Xcode object handling by skipping
external objects from OBJECT_LIBRARY usage as appropriate.
The error message in the BadSourceExpression1 test is now reported
by the generator expression evaluator, so it has different text.
Until now the cmCustomCommandGenerator was used only to compute the
command lines of a custom command. Generalize it to get the comment,
working directory, dependencies, and outputs of custom commands. Update
use in all generators to support this.
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.
In VS <= 9 we already convert include paths to use backslashes
but the conversion was left out of the VS >= 10 generator.
Add the conversion now for consistency. VS 11 and 12 now require
it because they mistakenly interpret forward-slash options that
happen to occur in paths:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/778367
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.
This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be
used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce
that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used
with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties
matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for
this target type.
The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator
expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target,
but with the additional restriction that it may not contain
double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED
or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13.
An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library.
At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the
buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may
be added as a feature in a later commit.
The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja
generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes
related to that.
The MSBuild version for each Visual Studio generator isn't 4.0. With
Visual Studo 2013 the ToolsVersion moved from being tied to the .NET
framework and now has its own version number.
Fix generation of the AdditionalIncludeDirectories element content to
escape for XML syntax. We already escape content of other elements,
this one was simply missing by accident.
Use the WIN32_EXECUTABLE target property only to set the SubSystem build
attribute default. When user-specified flags are later parsed they may
then override it.

In my project group we are using CMake to generate c++/cli winform
projects and I noticed the work done in commit 79ec7868 (VS: Add Windows
Forms Support, 2013-04-29) was in the right direction for solving some
of the problems we were facing.
The changes as submitted was breaking some functionality in our
projects, so I made some changes that fixes our problems and I believe
that it will also work for others.
* Resx files did not link correctly with the winform h-file so I added
the Resx configuration to the vcxproj file.
* I removed the functionality for setting <CLRSupport> true for the
project based on if an resx-file is pressent. This is preventing
us from using native cpp code. Also this do not address that some
projects will need to set other options like clr:pure, clr:safe.
This could be implemented as a cmake option, so it is possible to
specify exactly what is needed. Existing VSWindowsFormsResx Test
project is updated so it will be working with my changes.
Replace the cmLocalGenerator GetCompileOptions method with an
AddCompileOptions method since all call sites of the former simply
append the result to a flags string anyway.
Add a "lang" argument to AddCompileOptions and move the
CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_REGEX filter into it. Move the call sites in each
generator to a location that has both the language and configuration
available. In the Makefile generator this also moves the flags from
build.make to flags.make where they belong.
Currently it only adds the contents of the COMPILE_FLAGS target
property, but it can be extended to handle a new COMPILE_OPTIONS
generator expression enabled property.
Generate the default AssemblerListingLocation through the flag map so
that it can be overridden by a user /Fa flag. Also teach the VS 7-9
generators to map /Fa to AssemblerListingLocation.
While at it, fix the AssemblerListingLocation default value to have a
trailing slash after the configuration name. This ensures it will be
treated as a directory and not a file name.
Add support to maintain designer functionality for Visual Studio C++
Windows Forms projects. Also add a test project showing how to use
the CMakeLists.txt file and, when successfully configured, will allow
use of the designer for the included form.
The MS tools create two types of PDB files as explained here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.71%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.80%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.90%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
One is created by the compiler (/Fd) and the other by the linker (/pdb).
The two options should not specify the same file. Split them up.
In the VS IDE generators, simply drop ProgramDataBaseFileName to
take the VS default "/Fd$(IntDir)vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion).pdb".
In the Makefile generators, set "/Fd" on the compile line to be
the directory containing object files (with a trailing slash the
compiler will add the "vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion).pdb" filename
automatically). Drop the /Fd option from the exe link command
line and add "/pdb" instead (already done for dll linking).
Update these rules for both MSVC and Intel tools.
Drop support for PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and PDB_NAME in STATIC
libraries because the generated .pdb files are only from /Fd
and not real linker-generated .pdb files. Update documentation to
clarify that the PDB_* properties are only for linker .pdb files.
This regresses the PDBDirectoryAndName test for STATIC libraries.
Since it is not clear at this time what should be done for STATIC
library .pdb files, comment out the relevant portion of the test
and leave a TODO comment.
The API for retrieving per-config COMPILE_DEFINITIONS has long
existed because of the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> style
properties. Ensure that the provided configuration being generated
is also used to evaluate the generator expressions
in cmTarget::GetCompileDefinitions.
Both the generic COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and the config-specific
variant need to be evaluated with the requested configuration. This
has the side-effect that the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS does not need to
be additionally evaluated with no configuration, so the callers can
be cleaned up a bit too.
Use the /STACK: flag to pass the value through flag parsing so that the
generator converts it to the StackReserveSize project file option. The
option was accidentally left out by commit 7491f529 (first pass at VS
10, 2009-06-25).

Since commit 9a6ff950 (Fix for bug where VS2010 did not use .obj files as
part of the build, 2011-04-01) and commit b291d9e7 (VS10: Fix external
objects generated outside target, 2012-03-19) we try to detect whether an
external object file is also a custom command output in the same target.
This is because VS10 includes .obj custom command outputs on the link line
by default.
VS 11 supports a "<LinkObjects ...>false</LinkObjects>" setting in custom
command rules to tell VS not to link the outputs. From the VS help:
Specify whether the Inputs and output files with specific extensions (.obj,
.lib, .res, .rsc) are passed to the linker.
Treat all external object files the same and add "<Object>" settings for them.
This is not ambiguous to the compiler, but it may seem ambiguous to
the reader.
From reading 3a53005f (Build object library targets in VS), 5484550a
(Detect and set Unicode character set in VS 10), and 9e01aefd (VS:

be the intentional semantic.
Fix the VS 10 link flag map to name the project file entries correctly.
The VS 11 link flag map already has the correct names. Generate the
entries in the <PropertyGroup> along with incremental linking options.
Drop them from the <Link> element because VS does not use them.
Avoid collecting the link options twice. Collect them once in a
LinkOptions member and use it from both places. We already do this for
compiler options with the ClOptions member.
Commit 08cb4fa4 (Process generator expressions in the

assumption that CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE was set on the makefile for each

the GetIncludeDirectories API depend on the config.

Since commit ed0075bd (Use relative paths for custom command inputs,
2011-06-22) CMake generates full paths to source files in VS 10 project
files to avoid trouble with deep source/build tree paths. However, the VS
10 IDE will not populate the source file property dialog for a file
referenced by full path. Instead use a relative path when possible. When
not possible produce a detailed warning explaining the problem and
suggesting use of shorter directory paths.
CMake <= 2.8.4 generated VS 10 project files with a relative path to
source files. Then commit ed0075bd (Use relative paths for custom command
inputs, 2011-06-22) switched to using relative paths only for source files
holding custom commands and full paths for other sources. This behavior
was inhereted by the VS 11 generator but is not needed so use the
workaround only for exactly VS 10. Explain the behavior in comments.
Most CMake generators produce relative paths within the build tree and
full paths to files outside the build tree. Make VS 10 and VS 11
project files consistent with this approach except for paths forced to
be relative to work around a VS 10 bug.
Remove the duplicate source file classification logic used to generate
the filter files. Instead record during the main vcxproj file
generation the source files generated for each tool. Also record
whether or not each source file is converted to a relative path. Use
the recorded result during filter generation to ensure consistency
between the project file and filter file.
Hide custom command .rule files inside the CMakeFiles directory. Ensure
a short, deterministic, and unique name by using a hash of the directory
path containing the output file. Preserve the file name so the entry in
the IDE is human-readable. Clarify the comment that explains why the
rule file must be created on disk.
Teach cmMakefile::AddCustomCommandToOutput to return the cmSourceFile
instance to which the custom command is attached. Use the return value
instead of separately adding a .rule extension and searching for the
source. Mark CMake-generated .rule files explicitly with a property
instead of trusting the file extension.
Commit 9a6ff950 (Fix for bug where VS2010 did not use .obj files,
2011-04-01) assumed that if an external object is GENERATED that it is
the output of a custom command in the current target. If it is
generated by another target then VS will not automatically include the
external object in the current target. This bug was preserved by the
refactoring in the parent commit.
Instead use <None> for external objects generated by a custom command in
the current target and <Object> for all other external objects. Update
the ExternalOBJ test to cover this case.
Combine WriteCLSources and WriteObjSources into a single method. Use
the cmGeneratorTarget source classification to simplify tool selection
for each source file. Extend the classification to handle .idl files.
For now do not allow an OBJECT library to reference other object
libraries. Teach cmTarget::ComputeLinkImplementation to include the
languages of object libraries used by a target.
Treat OBJECT libraries as STATIC libraries. The VS project file format
provides no way to avoid running the librarian so hide the resulting
.lib away next to the object files as it should never be referenced.
The object files will be left behind for reference by other targets
later.
Implement cmGlobalGenerator::ComputeTargetObjects in the VS generator
to pre-compute all the object file names. Use the results during
generation instead of re-computing it later.

Eliminate callers of cmMakefile::GetIncludeDirectories.

For custom commands in VS2010 Fortran projects the INTDIR variable
is different than in the rest of the solution because Intel
fortran still uses the old VS project files even in VS2010. So,
we replace $(Configuration) directly in the project files. I have also
added a FortranOnly test that tests this feature and is run on any
generator that has Fortran abilities.

In cmMakefile.cxx GetCMakeCFGInitDirectory is replaced with
GetCMakeFilesDirectory for .rule files. In some cases with
external projects, that directory will not exist. With vs10
the .rule files must exist or the rule will run with every build.
This fix creates the path that the .rule file is in. In addition,
it is now a CMake error if the .rule file can not be created.
For VS2010 if a precompiled .obj file was the output of a custom commad,
it was used as part of the build. If it was not, then VS did not
use it as part of the build. This commit updates the test to check
for this issue, and fixes the problem. This fixes bugs #0011891 and
At some point in the past VS 2010 failed some tests with custom commands when
relative paths were not used. It seems that those problems have been fixed.
However, the relative paths apparently are appended to the current working
directoy before vs accesses the file. So, with a long path, relative paths
cause it to create a combined path that is too long.

13caaa3 VS10: Finish Midl support (#11461)
This commit addresses all of the following:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8165http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10687http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11311http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11461
With this commit, the midl support for VS10 is as
complete as midl support ever was for VS9 and earlier.
The VSMidl test should run on all Visual Studio
generator based dashboards.
CMake no longer sends C++ compiler /D flag values
to the midl compiler in Visual Studio generated
projects. I think if we want to add that in the
future, we should add a way to pass midl compiler
specific flags and perhaps an optional way to add
in the C++ definitions, too. For now, not sending
them along gets past the immediate problem wherein
idl files in a CMake VS generated project just didn't
work at all.
The VSMidl test added in this commit was inspired by
the patch attached to 8165.
The test had to be modified such that it will run in
a directory whose name contains no spaces. There is an
existing bug filed against VS10's midl asking Microsoft
to fix that problem. But for now, the test added in this
commit works by copying the source directory to a location
that avoids spaces in the directory names.

In vs2010 a bad project file could be generated if a .c or .cxx file
was marked with HEADER_FILE_ONLY, if it was in a library that contained
both c and c++ code. This fixes the error in the code, and adds a test
for this case.
The Express Edition does not come with 64-bit tools, but one can install
the "Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1" to get them. Detect this case and
check for the SDK. If found, set PlatformToolset to use the SDK tools.
Otherwise, fail with a concise and informative error.
VS10 uses MSBuild underneath. The <Message></Message> CDATA are just
appended to "echo" and executed as a single command. Encode the message
such that it can be passed to echo. Convert newlines to tabs since they
cannot be printed this way.
In targets with no non-header files the linker language cannot be
determined. Since the target project file cannot be generated at all in
this case, give up as soon as it is detected. Otherwise the generation
code may try to run with uninitialized information.
The original implementation of this generator accidentally used
"$(Configuration)/" for source-specific object file names. Correct it
to use "$(IntDir)/" just like the generators for all previous VS
versions. The target-wide output directory is "$(IntDir)/" already.
VS2010 uses IntDir as the location for writing log files for
what happens during custom build steps. With no IntDir settings,
all ExternalProject usage within the same CMakeLists.txt file
would result in multiple utility targets all trying to use the
same custom build log files.
With parallel builds, they would try to use them simultaneously
and result in file access errors, preventing the builds from
completing successfully.
Now each utility target has its own IntDir setting, and so, its
own custom build rule log files.
When none of the options /Z7, /Zi and /ZI are specified in the cmake
project settings, the project will open in the editor with "Program
Database" as the default debug information format, ending up always
generating PDBs regardless of project configuration.
Modify the output project file so that if the debug information format
is not specified in the cmake project settings it will default to no PDB
generated, just like all the previous other Visual Studio versions.
This problem comes from the fact that Microsoft changed the default
setting of the debug information format to be "Program Database" instead
of "Disabled".
Only generate .filters files if they are different than the last time
they were generated. This should prevent the unnecessary reloads
being triggered with Visual Studio 2010 builds.
The list of libraries to be linked into the current target must be
specified using windows slashes to that UNC paths such as
\\server\share\somelibrary.lib
work correctly. See issue #9917.
The reverted commit attempted to preserve the "../" PREFIX work-around
for avoiding per-config build directories in the VS IDE generators.
However, the original reporter has concluded that a "../" PREFIX no
longer works everywhere in VS 10 project files anyway. Rather than set
OutputPath, this commit restores the $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)
default.
See issue #9768.
This commit teaches the VS 10 generator to detect the -D_UNICODE option
in preprocessor definitions and set the CharacterSet attribute to the
value 'Unicode'. This was already done for other VS IDE versions.
See issue #9769
The default $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt) for this value works in
most cases because we set the three properties. However, if the target
property PREFIX contains a path component (not documented but happens to
work in other VS generators) we drop it from TargetName and do not put
it in OutDir either. This commit corrects the resulting path by setting
the OutputPath property explicitly with the full path.
See issue #9768.
MS changed the location of the Microsoft.Cpp.$(Platform).user.props
file. This commit teaches the VS 10 generator about the new location.
See issue #9759.
In VS 8 and greater this commit implements
add_dependencies(myexe mylib) # depend without linking
by adding the
LinkLibraryDependencies="false"
option to project files. Previously the above code would cause myexe to
link to mylib in VS 8 and greater. This option prevents dependencies
specified only in the solution from being linked. We already specify
the real link library dependencies in the project files, and any project
depending on this to link would not have worked in Makefile generators.
We were already avoiding this problem in VS 7.1 and below by inserting
intermediate mylib_UTILITY targets. It was more important for those
versions because if a static library depended on another library the
librarian would copy the dependees into the depender! This is no longer
the case with VS 8 and above so we do not need that workaround.
See issue #9732.
We recognize .def source files and map them to the /DEF:<file> option in
the MSVC tools. Previously this worked only for shared libraries. This
commit cleans up the implementation and makes it work for executables
too. See issue #9613.
When constructing cmVisualStudioGeneratorOptions to parse options for
tools 'link' and 'lib' the tool type is now Linker, not Compiler. This
tells it not to recognize flags starting in '/D' as preprocessor macros,
such as the '/DEF:<file>' linker option. See issue #9613.
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.
Visual Studio 10 uses MSBuild to drive the build. Custom commands
appear in MSBuild files inside CustomBuild elements, which appear inside
ItemGroup elements. The Outputs and AdditionalInputs elements of each
CustomBuild element are evaluated according to timestamps on disk.
MSBuild does not use inputs/outputs to order CustomBuild steps within a
single ItemGroup or across multiple ItemGroup elements. Instead we must
put only unrelated CustomBuild elements in a single ItemGroup and order
the item groups from top to bottom using a topological order of the
custom command dependency graph.
This fixes CustomCommand and ExternalProject test failures, so we remove
the expectation of these failures.
Until now the VS 10 generator did no Windows command-line escaping and
just did XML escapes. This commit teaches the generator to use the same
command-line escape addition code used by other generators. The script
construction method cmLocalVisualStudioGenerator::ConstructScript need
not do XML escapes. Each VS generator version adds the XML escapes
necessary for that version.
This passes the build configuration to most GetLinkerLanguage calls. In
the future the linker language will account for targets linked in each
configuration.
This method previously required the global generator to be passed, but
that was left from before cmTarget had its Makefile member. Now the
global generator can be retrieved automatically, so we can drop the
method argument.
