At the top of a build tree we configure inside the CMakeFiles directory
files such as "CMakeSystem.cmake" and "CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake" to
save information detected about the system and compilers in use. The
method of detection and the exact results store varies across CMake
versions as things improve. This leads to problems when loading files
configured by a different version of CMake. Previously we ignored such
existing files only if the major.minor part of the CMake version
component changed, and depended on the CMakeCache.txt to tell us the
last version of CMake that wrote the files. This led to problems if the
user deletes the CMakeCache.txt or we add required information to the
files in a patch-level release of CMake (still a "feature point" release
by modern CMake versioning convention).
Ensure that we always have version-consistent platform information files
by storing them in a subdirectory named with the CMake version. Every
version of CMake will do its own system and compiler identification
checks even when a build tree has already been configured by another
version of CMake. Stored results will not clobber those from other
versions of CMake which may be run again on the same tree in the future.
Loaded results will match what the system and language modules expect.
Rename the undocumented variable CMAKE_PLATFORM_ROOT_BIN to
CMAKE_PLATFORM_INFO_DIR to clarify its purpose. The new variable points
at the version-specific directory while the old variable did not.
When a language is not enabled at the top level of a project but is
enabled in multiple disjoint subdirectories we should re-use the
CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake file from the first directory. Load the file
whenever it exists and is not left from a different version of CMake.
bd34963 Refactor generation of shared library flags
55d7aa4 Add platform variable for flags specific to shared libraries
31d7a0f Add platform variables for position independent code flags
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a
variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not
exclusive to them. Refactor generation of these flags to use new
purpose-specific platform variables
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE
Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries. Add a new
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and
default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior.
Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to
allow easy global configuration in projects.
Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new
approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely. We must
leave it set in case projects reference the value. Furthermore, if a
project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new
value to be used. Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with
projects that modify this platform variable.
Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get
meaningful results.
Add cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateRuleFile to compute a generator-specific
rule file location. This will allow specific generators to override the
location of .rule files without changing the behavior of other
generators.
Rename cmGlobalGenerator::GetCMakeCFG{InitDirectory => IntDir} to
have a shorter name without a typo. Add a 'const' qualifier since
the method is only for lookup and never needs to modify anything.
Add a virtual cmGlobalGenerator::ComputeTargetObjects method invoked
during cmGeneratorTarget construction. Implement it in the Makefile
generator to pre-compute all object file names for each target. Use
the results during generation instead of re-computing it later.
Construct the instances after the final set of targets is known but
before computing inter-target dependencies. This order will allow
initialization of cmGeneratorTarget instances to adjust and finalize
declared inter-target dependencies.
Eliminate callers of cmMakefile::GetIncludeDirectories.
All callers of GetIncludeDirectories should go through the local generator
object.
Only the local generator calls cmTarget::GetIncludeDirectories directly.
Consider the case motivating commit e01cce28 (Allow add_dependencies()
on imported targets, 2010-11-19). An imported target references a file
generated at build time by a custom target on which it depends. Had the
file been built directly using add_library or add_executable its target
name would have been visible globally. Therefore the imported target
representing the file should be globally visible also.
Teach the IMPORTED signature of add_(executable|library) to accept a new
"GLOBAL" option to make the imported target visible globally.

During a try_compile cmGlobalGenerator::EnableLanguage uses results from
the outer project. Reject attempts to enable languages in the test
project that are not "ready" in the outer project. Mark a language as
"ready" when all its information has been loaded and we are ready to
generate build rules.
This also avoids infinite recursion introduced by commit 295b5b60 (Honor
CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE in try_compile, 2010-06-29) for projects
that set CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE to a file that uses try_compile.
The file is loaded along with the information for a given langauge so
the language is not yet "ready".

Visual Studio Express editions do not support solution folders,
so default behavior should be as if USE_FOLDERS global property
is OFF.
Also, allow folder names to be the same as target names: internally,
use a prefix to distinguish folder GUIDs from target GUIDs. Add
a target and folder with the same name in the ExternalProject
test to exercise this code.
For CMake itself, provide a new option CMAKE_USE_FOLDERS that
defaults to ON so that Visual Studio users get a nicely organized
CMake project. Express edition users will have to turn off the
CMAKE_USE_FOLDERS option in order to build CMake in the VS Express
IDE.
Since commit bc43b0f2 (Do not link library dependencies in VS solutions,
2009-10-20) CMake disables for VS >= 8 linking of a target to libraries
that happen to be listed as solution-level dependencies. Therefore we
can list the direct dependencies of each target in the solution file and
let VS handle transitive dependencies automatically.
This work was started from a patch by Thomas Schiffer.
Thanks, Thomas!
See the newly added documentation of the FOLDER target
property for details.
Also added global properties, USE_FOLDERS and
PREDEFINED_TARGETS_FOLDER. See new docs here, too.
By default, the FOLDER target property is used to organize
targets into folders in IDEs that have support for such
organization.
This commit adds "solution folder" support to the Visual
Studio generators. Currently works with versions 7 through
10.
Also, use the new FOLDER property in the ExternalProject
test and in the CMake project itself.

We store custom command rule hashes in CMakeFiles/CMakeRuleHashes.txt
persistently across CMake runs. When the rule hash changes we delete
the custom command output file and write a new hash into the persistence
file.
This functionality was first added by the commit 'Introduce "rule
hashes" to help rebuild files when rules change.' (2008-06-02).
However, the implementation in cmGlobalGenerator::CheckRuleHashes kept
the file open for read when attempting to rewrite a new file. On
Windows filesystems this prevented the new version of the file from
being written! This caused the first set of rule hashes to be used
forever within a build tree, meaning that all custom commands whose
rules changed would be rebuilt every time CMake regenerated the build
tree.
In this commit we address the problem by splitting the read and write
operations into separate methods. This ensures that the input stream is
closed before the output stream opens the file.
CMake has a special case for the "make install" target when building
CMake itself. We use the just-built CMake to install itself since an
existing CMake installation cannot replace itself (at least on Windows).
We simplify the code that computes the location of the CMake binary by
taking advantage of existing generator support for target lookup. This
will make it robust to any changes in CMake's own CMakeLists.txt files
in the future.
In cmGlobalGenerator::GetTargetSets we collect targets from all local
generators in a tree or subtree corresponding to a project() command.
Some targets, such as ALL_BUILD, are duplicated in each subdirectory
with a project() command. For such targets we should keep only the copy
for the top-most (root) local generator.
Previously this filtering was done in each VS IDE generator, but it is
easier to do it in one place when the targets are first encountered.
This also fixes bad ALL_BUILD dependencies generated for VS 7.0 because
the cmGlobalVisualStudio7Generator::WriteTargetDepends method was not
filtering out duplicates. Now we avoid duplicates from the start.
This commit cleans up the declaration, definition, and invocations of
the GetTargetSets method and related code. There is no change in
function except to make the method virtual.
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.
The cmGlobalGenerator::AddTargetDepends method traces the dependencies
of targets recursively to collect the complete set of targets needed for
a given project (for VS .sln files). This commit teaches the method to
avoid tracing its dependencies more than once. Otherwise the code does
an all-paths walk needlessly.
The try_compile command builds the cmTryCompileExec executable using the
cmTryCompileExec/fast target with Makefile generators in order to save
time since dependencies are not needed. However, in project mode the
command builds an entire source tree that may have dependencies.
Therefore we can use the /fast target approach only in one-source mode.
When building an entire source tree with try_compile instead of just a
single source file, it is possible that the CMakeLists.txt file in the
try-compiled project invokes try_compile. This commit fixes propagation
of language-initialization results from the outer-most project into any
number of try-compile levels.
This generalizes the previous CMakeFiles/LabelFiles.txt created at the
top of the build tree to a CMakeFiles/TargetDirectories.txt file. It
lists the target support directories for all targets in the project.
Labels can still be loaded by looking for Labels.txt files in each
target directory.
The second argument of add_subdirectory must name a unique binary
directory or the build files will clobber each other. This enforces
uniqueness with an error message.
This creates a new LABELS property for targets and source files. We
write the labels of each target and its source files in target-specific
locations in the build tree for future use.
During bootstrap we do not bother with rule hashing. This updates the
dummy implementation to account for the recent change in rule hash
method signatures.
This simplifies computation of custom command rule hashes to hash
content exactly chosen as the custom commands are generated.
Unfortunately this will change the hashes of existing build trees from
earlier CMake versions, but this is not a big deal. The change is
necessary so that in the future we can make optional adjustments to
custom command lines at generate time without changing the hashes every
time the option is changed.
Previously the cmGlobalGenerator::GetDirectoryContent method would work
safely only during build system generation. These changes make it safe
to use during each configure step by flushing it at the beginning.
When looking for NOTFOUND libraries, use the direct dependencies of a
target instead of all dependencies. At least one target will trigger
the NOTFOUND error anyway because at least one must directly link it.
This removes another use of the old-style link line computation.
After reporting an error about circular target dependencies do not try
to continue generation because the dependency computation object is not
in a useful state.
- The source-file signature of try_compile looks up the language
of the source file using the extension-to-language map so that
it knows what language to enable in the generated project.
- This map needs to be filled before loading a file specified by
CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE
CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE_<LANG>
so that the user file may call the try_compile() source-file
signature.
- It must still be re-filled after loading CMake<LANG>Information.cmake
in case the compiler- or platform-specific files added anything.
- See bug #7340.
ENH: -if no compiler has been found, don't test it, and also remove the compiler
information file again. This makes optionally enabling a language work
better.

- The rule hash should use only commands specified by the user.
- No make output (echo and progress) rules should be included.
- No outputs or dependencies need be included. The native build tool
will take care of them.
- In CMake 2.4 custom commands would not rebuild when rules changed.
- In CMake 2.6.0 custom commands have a dependency on build.make
which causes them to rebuild when changed, but also when any
source is added or removed. This is too often.
- We cannot have a per-rule file because Windows filesystems
do not deal well with lots of small files.
- Instead we add a persistent CMakeFiles/CMakeRuleHashes.txt file
at the top of the build tree that is updated during each
CMake Generate step. It records a hash of the build rule for
each file to be built. When the hash changes the file is
removed so that it will be rebuilt.
- Previously this was done implicitly by the check for a target
link language which checked all source full paths.
- The recent change to support computing a link language without
finding all the source files skipped the implicit check.
- This change adds an explicit check to find all source files.
- CMake 1.8 and below did not do the check but could get in
infinite loops due to the local generate step.
- CMake 2.0 added the check but failed to perform it in directories
with no targets (see bug #678).
- CMake 2.2 removed the local generate which fixed the problem but
did not remove the check.
- Between CMake 2.4 and 2.6.0rc6 the check was fixed to work even
when no targets appear in a directory (see bug #6923).
- Bottom line: the check is no longer needed.
- Cycles may be formed among static libraries
- Native build system should not have cycles in target deps
- Create cmComputeTargetDepends to analyze dependencies
- Identify conneced components and use them to fix deps
- Diagnose cycles containing non-STATIC targets
- Add debug mode property GLOBAL_DEPENDS_DEBUG_MODE
- Use results in cmGlobalGenerator as target direct depends
- Imported frameworks have the FRAMEWORK property set
- Added cmTarget::IsFrameworkOnApple method to simplify checks
- Also remove separate IMPORTED_ENABLE_EXPORTS property and just use ENABLE_EXPORTS since, like FRAMEWORK, it just represents the target type.
- Document FRAMEWORK keyword in INSTALL command.
- Updated IMPORTED_LOCATION property documentation for Frameworks
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
- Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
- Include soname of shared libraries in import information
- Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
- Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
- Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
- Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
- Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
- Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
- Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
- Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
- Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
- Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends
- 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.
