Restore support for the undocumented <CONFIG>_LOCATION target property
removed by commit v3.0.0-rc1~175^2 (cmTarget: Remove support for
<CONFIG>_LOCATION property, 2013-12-30) as part of the CMP0026 OLD
behavior.
Override the QT_QTMAIN_LIBRARY cache variable with a regular
variable in the Qt 5 configuration. This avoids linking with the
Qt 4 version of the WinMain library.
Visual Studio is handled as a special case for autogen depends. However,
the special handling works only for target dependencies, not file
dependencies output by a custom command.
Use a PRE_BUILD step only if all depends are targets.
My last related commit e5e3f3d4 (CTest: filter /showIncludes output from
ninja compile launcher, 2013-12-01) filtered /showIncludes messages from
the generated xml output but they also need to be filtered in
ScrapeLog(). Otherwise they are being detected as warnings when using
compilers withs english diagnostics.
Teach the install(FILES) and install(PROGRAMS) commands to evaluate
generator expressions in the list of files.
Extend the ExportImport test to cover installation cases involving
generator expressions.
Add a Makefile member to the cmInstallFilesGenerator class and
populate it on construction. This will be useful in a following
change to evaluate generator expressions with proper context.
Historically CMake used three version components for the feature level.
We released new features while incrementing only the third version
component. Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support
branchy workflow, 2010-04-23) we used the fourth version component for
bug-fix releases and the development date:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>] = Release
<major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
This solidified use of three components for the feature level, and was
necessary to continue releasing 2.x versions because:
* Some existing projects performed floating-point comparisons of
${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION} to 2.x numbers
so ``x`` could never be higher than 9.
* Version 2.9.<date> was used briefly in post-2.8.0 development in
CVS prior to the transition to Git, so using it in releases may
have caused confusion.
Now that we are moving to 3.x versions, these two restrictions go away.
Therefore we now change to use only two components for the feature
level and use the scheme:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>] = Release
<major>.<minor>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
The cmGeneratorExpression is used here, but the header for it is not
in the include heirarchy. This would be a compile error if the file
were compiled as a standalone translation unit, but it is instead
used in a mini-unity-build by inclusion in cmCommands.cxx. The header
for cmGeneratorExpression happens to be included first, so the
compilation works fine.
IDEs do not know this however, and flag the use as an error.
Several CMake operations need to replace files in rapid succession.
This commonly fails on Windows due to filesystem lock behavior so
we have retry loops. No matter how many times we retry or how long
we delay there will inevitably be someone with an environment that
needs more. Make the retry count and delay configurable in the
Windows Registry keys:
{HKCU,HKLM}/Software/Kitware/CMake/Config
in DWORD values
FilesystemRetryCount = Number of tries
FilesystemRetryDelay = Delay in milliseconds between tries
Leave the feature undocumented for now to see how it goes.
