In commit v3.2.0-rc1~272^2~2 (Makefile: Fix rebuild with multiple custom
command outputs, 2014-12-05) we changed the generated makefile pattern
for multiple outputs from
out1: depends...
commands...
out2: out1
to
out1 out2: depends...
commands...
This was based on the incorrect assumption that make tools would treat
this as a combined output rule and run the command(s) exactly once for
them. It turns out that instead this new pattern is equivalent to
out1: depends...
commands...
out2: depends...
commands...
so the commands may be run more than once.
Some documents suggest using a "dedicated witness" stamp file:
stamp: depends...
rm -f stamp
touch stamp.tmp
commands...
mv stamp.tmp stamp
out1 out2: stamp
However, if the commands fail the error message will refer to the stamp
instead of any of the real outputs, which may be confusing to readers.
Also, this approach seems to have the same behavior of the original
approach that motiviated the above commit: multiple invocations are
needed to bring consumers of the outputs up to date.
Instead we can return to the original approach but add an explicit
touch to each extra output rule:
out1: depends...
commands...
out2: out1
touch -c out2
This causes make tools to recognize that all outputs have changed and
therefore to execute any commands that consume them.
In commit v3.0.0-rc1~222^2 (Makefile: Allow "gmake target1 target2 -j",
2013-12-18) we added generation of a .NOTPARALLEL rule and told the
generator it is "symbolic" because the file will never be created.
This causes ".PHONY" to be used. However, "clearmake" does not support
parsing of .PHONY specifically for .NOTPARALLEL, so simply drop it.
This should not affect the role of the .NOTPARALLEL rule for GNU make.
Given a rule of the form
out1 out2: dep1
out1 out2: dep2
Borland Make complains that there are multiple rules for "out1"
even though this works when there is only one output. Instead
generate
out1 out2: dep1 dep2
for Borland Make, but only when there are multiple outputs.
Fix the generated makefiles for custom commands with multiple outputs to
list all the outputs on the left hand side of the build rule. This is
much simpler and more reliable than the old multiple-output-pair
infrastructure.
The checks are now split into languages that are able to generate
assembly listings, languages that are able to generate preprocessed
listings, and languages that are able to export the compile commands.

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.
Drop the CMAKE_NO_QUOTED_OBJECTS internal variable from the Makefile
generators. The underlying problem is with the Watcom linker, not with
WMake. The Watcom linker wants object files to be single-quoted. Add
<LINK-RULE>_USE_WATCOM_QUOTE platform information variables to tell the
generators to use Watcom-style single quotes for object files on link
lines.
On Windows, Watcom uses the GetCommandLine API to get the original
command-line string and do custom parsing that expects single quotes.
On POSIX systems, Watcom approximates the original command line by
joining all argv[] entries separated by a single space. Therefore we
need to double-quote the single-quoted arguments so that the shell does
not consume them and they are available for the parser to see.

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.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
* The '-e' option has nothing to do with verbose output.
It is now properly handled by .ERASE directive in make file
* The '-s' option sets silent output globally, it cannot be switched off.
It is now handled only by .SILENT directive in make file directive
is simply controlled by a conditonal block.
Remove SilentNoColon member variable as it is no longer needed.
Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
Add the .NOTPARALLEL target to each local Makefile command-line
interface entry point file so that even with -j we launch only
one "make -f Makefile2" at a time. The actual build rules
in Makefile2 and lower will still run in parallel.
Do not add .NOTPARALLEL for Borland or Watcom make tools because
they do not tolerate it. Other make tools that do not understand
.NOTPARALLEL will not be hurt.

Commit b04f3b9a (Create make rules for INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets., 2013-08-21) extended the makefile generator to create
build targets for INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. No other generators
were extended with this feature.
This conflicts with the feature of whitelisting of target properties
read from INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The INTERFACE_* properties
of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY may legitimately contain TARGET_PROPERTY
generator expressions for reading properties from the 'head target'.
The 'head target' would be the INTERFACE_LIBRARY itself when creating
the build rules for it, which means that non-whitelisted properties
would be read.
This was missing from commit c34968a9 (Port some of the generator
API to cmGeneratorTarget., 2012-10-10). The generator targets
stored with the cmMakefile include IMPORTED targets, unlike the
accessor for resgular targets. Before this patch, rules would
be generated for Qt5::Core for example, which result in broken
makefiles.
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.
Just enough to reach the BuildMacContentDirectory method and the
NeedRelinkBeforeInstall methods.
In the future, those methods can be moved to cmGeneratorTarget.
Refactor edit_cache tool selection to ask each global generator for its
preference. Teach the Ninja generator to always use cmake-gui because
Ninja by design cannot run interactive terminal dialogs like ccmake.
Teach the Makefile generator to use cmake-gui when also using an "extra"
generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall
back to CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND selection for normal Makefile build systems.
The result is that the depends of the target are created.
So,
add_library(somelib foo.cpp)
add_library(anotherlib EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL foo.cpp)
add_library(extra EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL foo.cpp)
target_link_libraries(anotherlib extra)
add_library(iface INTERFACE)
target_link_libraries(iface INTERFACE anotherlib)
Executing 'make iface' will result in the anotherlib and extra targets
being made.
Adding a regular executable to the INTERFACE of an INTERFACE_LIBRARY
will not result in the executable being built with 'make iface' because
of the logic in cmComputeTargetDepends::AddTargetDepend.
So far, this is implemented only for the Makefile generator. Other
generators will follow if this feature is possible for them.
Make INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets part of the all target by default.
Test this by building the all target and making the expected library
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL.
The commits 9db31162 (Remove CMake-language block-end command
arguments, 2012-08-13) and 77543bde (Convert CMake-language
commands to lower case, 2012-08-13) changed most cmake code
to use lowercase commands and no parameters in termination
commands. However, those changes excluded cmake code generated
in c++ by cmake.
Make a similar style change to code generated by cmake.
