Since cmTarget::ComputeLinkInterface is called separately for each
"head" target that links a target, the warning we produce when
CMP0022 is not set could be repeated. Add explicit logic to allow
the warning to appear at most once. Multiple copies of the warning
for the same target are almost always identical and therefore
redundant. In the rare case that two copies of the warning are
different, the second can appear in a future run after the first
is fixed.
When cmExportFileGenerator::SetImportLinkInterface exports the old
LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property values it skips doing so for
non-linkable targets because target->GetLinkInterface returns NULL for
such targets.
Since cmExportFileGenerator::PopulateInterfaceLinkLibrariesProperty
looks at the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property directly instead of using
the computed link interface, teach it to skip exporting the property if
target->IsLinkable returns false.
Extend the RunCMake.CMP0022 test with a case covering this. Simply
export an executable target that links to a library that is not
exported.
The CMP0022 NEW behavior is that the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property
exactly defines the link interface. The plain target_link_libraries
signature says linking is transitive by default, so it should populate
the property.
Teach the target_link_libraries plain signature to populate the
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES regardless of the CMP0022 setting. Refactor
the cmTarget::ComputeLinkInterface checks that warn when the policy is
not set to compare the new property to either the explicitly set old
link interface properties or the link implementation fallback for all
linkable target types, not just static libraries.
This fixes a regression in 2.8.12.0 that caused target_link_libraries to
not implement transitive linking in the plain signature once the policy
CMP0022 is set to NEW.
Teach cmGlobalGenerator::CheckTargets to include OBJECT_LIBRARY targets
in the check for source file existence.
Extend the RunCMake.ObjectLibrary test to cover this case.
Teach the cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator filesystem artifact logic
to reject OBJECT_LIBRARY targets since they have no main artifact.
Without the explicit rejection evaluation falls through to an
internal CMake error message in cmTarget::GetOutputInfo.
Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorExpression test to cover these cases.
Only valid target names or generator expressions may appear in
the target field of a LINK_ONLY expression.
Other content like link flags should still be added to that property
(wrapped in config-specific generator expressions), but not wrapped
in LINK_ONLY. Otherwise undue warnings would be issued for the
policy CMP0022.
The LINK_ONLY expression only has an effect for actual target
names anyway, so there is no logical deficit.
Other warnings for the same policy already have similar output since
commit 81d2793e (Add differing target property content to policy CMP0022
warning, 2013-09-11).
Since commit 58e52416 (Warn about arguments not separated by whitespace,
2013-02-16) we warn about arguments not separated by spaces. Loosen the
warning to not complain about left parens not separated by spaces from
the preceding token. This is common in code like "if(NOT(X))".
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover cases of left parens not
separated by spaces and check that no warning appears.
Set the minimum required version of CMake high enough to avoid the
warning for CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32. The warning appears on stderr
and breaks the expected output matching.
In the future CMake will introduce Lua-style long bracket syntax.
Warn about unquoted arguments that in the future will be treated
as opening long brackets.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover such cases and ensure that the
warning appears.
Teach the lexer to return tokens for whitespace. Teach the parser to
tolerate the space tokens where whitespace is allowed. Also teach the
parser to diagnose and warn about cases of quoted arguments followed
immediately by another argument. This was accidentally allowed
previously, so we only warn.
Update the RunCMake.Syntax test case StringNoSpace expected stderr to
include the warnings.
If a line inside a string ends in a backslash count the following
newline character as a line increment. Add a test covering this case to
verify that subsequent line numbers are correct.
Test basic unquoted and quoted argument parsing cases including failure
on an unterminated string and an unterminated command invocation. Also
cover arguments not separated by any spaces, which is accidentally
allowed by the current parser.
* The ALIAS name must match a validity regex.
* Executables and libraries may be aliased.
* An ALIAS acts immutable. It can not be used as the lhs
of target_link_libraries or other commands.
* An ALIAS can be used with add_custom_command, add_custom_target,
and add_test in the same way regular targets can.
* The target of an ALIAS can be retrieved with the ALIASED_TARGET
target property.
* An ALIAS does not appear in the generated buildsystem. It
is kept separate from cmMakefile::Targets for that reason.
* A target may have multiple aliases.
* An ALIAS target may not itself have an alias.
* An IMPORTED target may not have an alias.
* An ALIAS may not be exported or imported.
Commit 650e61f8 (Add a convenient way to add the includes install
dir to the INTERFACE., 2013-01-05) introduced an error case for
using the install(TARGETS) command with specified INCLUDES DESTINATION,
but no specified EXPORT set.
It is convenient to use a variable to set the various destinations
for different outputs (as KDE does), and some targets such as
executables are installed but not exported. This was triggering
the error case, but as it is a common case, remove the error.
First, it prevents a NULL dereference and second it reiterates that
targets without languages are not supported by CMake.
Add a RunCMake.ExportWithoutLanguage test exporting a library without a
languages.
Add a new signature to help populate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES and
LINK_LIBRARIES cleanly in a single call. Add policy CMP0023 to control
whether the keyword signatures can be mixed with uses of the plain
signatures on the same target.
Export the INCLUDES DESTINATION without appending to the
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the target itself. That way, a target
can be exported multiple times with different INCLUDES DESTINATION
without unintended cross-pollution of export sets.
It accepted an optional argument to test for equality, but no way
to get the linker language of a particular target.
TARGET_PROPERTY provides this flexibility and STREQUAL provides
the necessary API for equality test.
Extend the CompileDefinitions test to cover accessing the
property of another target.
In CMakeDetermineCompilerABI we use try_compile with the COPY_FILE
option to get a copy of the compiled binary used to detect the ABI
information. We already tolerate the case when compilation fails.
However, when compilation appears to succeed but does not produce the
expected executable the try_compile command immediately reports an error
because the COPY_FILE fails.
Tolerate COPY_FILE failure without stopping the overall configuration
process by using the try_compile COPY_FILE_ERROR option to capture the
error message. Log the full error to CMakeError.log and simply report
failure to detect the ABI as if compilation had failed.
Teach the RunCMake.Configure test to cover this case and verify that the
messages show up as expected both in stdout and in CMakeError.log.
3e30d9e TLL: Don't populate old link interface if CMP0022 is NEW.
574fec9 Export: Generate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property on targets.
d0a76ea Introduce the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property.
ddde61c Introduce the LINK_ONLY generator expression.
5aa9731 GenexEval: Add abstracted access to link interface for a target.
When the COPY_FILE operation fails optionally capture the error message
with a COPY_FILE_ERROR option instead of reporting the error
immediately. This gives callers a chance to do something else or report
the error.
Teach the RunCMake.try_compile test to cover bad argument combinations
involving COPY_FILE_ERROR. Teach the TryCompile test to cover the case
of a COPY_FILE error message captured by COPY_FILE_ERROR.
Use preprocessor loops and add a unit test for the appropriate
policies. All policies whose value is recorded at target creation
time should be part of this list.
When CMake reports failure to configure a project, especially when the
toolchain does not initialize properly, the true reason may be clear
from reading the CMakeFiles/CMake(Output|Error).log files. Advise users
to look at these files if they exist when configuration fails.
Add RunCMake.Configure test to check that the log files are mentioned
when configuration fails.
Always populate the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES for interface
entries. Don't populate the old interface properties
matching (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?
if CMP0022 is NEW.
Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is now populated by
the target_link_libraries when operating on a static library,
make an equivalent change which populates the property with
the same value when the old link_libraries() command is used. This
silences the policy warning in that case.
