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.
Xcode 2.1 through 4 supported $(CURRENT_ARCH) in a PBXFileReference
'path' value used in the "Link Binary with Libraries" build phase.
CMake uses this to reference object file locations on link lines to
bring in OBJECT library content. However, Xcode 5 now evaluates the
$(CURRENT_ARCH) reference in this context as "undefined_arch" so the
wrong path is given to the linker. There seems to be no alternative way
to produce an architecture-specific value in a PBXFileReference.
Fortunately Xcode 5 now also handles link dependencies for paths linked
through OTHER_LDFLAGS. For Xcode >= 5, move the OBJECT library object
file references from the link build phase to OTHER_LDFLAGS. We can
still show the object files in the source group listing in either case.
Xcode 5.0 now computes dependencies from files linked through
OTHER_LDFLAGS, so we no longer need the XCODE_DEPEND_HELPER hack to
re-link dependents when targets change.
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.
In commit 2bc22bda (Xcode: Add frameworks search paths from link
dependeny closure, 2012-12-07) we made framework search paths from the
link closure conditional on target type, skipping it on STATIC and
OBJECT library targets that do not actually link. However, the
framework search paths also influence the compile lines (-F options) so
we need them for all target types. The Makefile generator already does
this, as did the Xcode generator prior to the above-mentioned commit.

This fixes bug #13797.
The kinds of changes applied in 373faae5 for frameworks are now
applied to CFBundle. The prefix and suffix for CFBundles are
now handled in cmTarget::GetFullNameInternal.
This is initialized by CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET. The target
property is used as the operand to the -fvisibility= compile option
with GNU compilers and clang.
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.
Make handling of directory separators consistent between
non-bundle and bundle code.
Remove xcode specific flag from cmTarget when getting install_name.
Add (more) consistent convenience functions in cmTarget to get
directories inside of bundles and frameworks to add files to.
This refactor also fixes bug #12263 where frameworks
had the wrong install name when SKIP_BUILD_RPATH.
Also make install_name for frameworks consistent between Makefile
and Xcode generator.
Since commit c519bb2b (XCode: Also qoute [] as needed to set
build-configurations, 2011-04-05) we escape "[]" conditions for
XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ settings. However, we need to handle the "variant"
condition with a special case to map it only into the settings for the
matching configuration.
Refactor lookup of CMAKE_(EXE|MODULE|SHARED)_LINKER_FLAGS(|_<CONFIG>)
variables to ensure all combinations are handled. Use the helper method
AddConfigVariableFlags to simplify the implementation.
Extend the cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand virtual method
signature with a "projectDir" parameter specifying the top of the
project build tree for which the build command will be generated.
Populate it from call sites in cmGlobalGenerator::Build where a
fully-generated build tree should be available.
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.
Generate a unique PBXTargetDependency and PBXContainerItemProxy for
every edge in the dependency graph as required by the Xcode format.
Xcode only accidentally loads project files that re-use the same
PBXTargetDependency for every edge leading to a single target. If one
is removed by hand in the IDE then Xcode may crash due to dangling
references from the others.
Since cmGlobalXCodeGenerator::AddDependTarget is called exactly once for
every edge in the target dependency graph we do not need to keep track
of which edges have been visited to avoid generating duplicates.
The modern cmComputeTargetDepends guarantees there will by no cycles.
Drop the Xcode generator's check which only handled length 1 and 2
cycles anyway.
Since the topic merged to master by commit 34a02846 (Merge topic
'ide-compiler-id', 2012-08-24), these variables are not used by
CMakeDetermine*Compiler.cmake for VS and Xcode generators. Drop the
code that sets them.
Since Xcode doesn't sort the files on its own, let's sort them in our
generator to make navigation easier. Visual Studio, QtCreator, and
kdevelop all display files sorted.
This allows a dependee to inform a target that it should have its
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property set to ON, or OFF. The value of
the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property, if set, must be consistent
with any INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE properties on dependees.
Add a test covering the consistency checks on platforms where they run.
The 'head' is the dependent target to be linked with the current target.
It will be used to evaluate generator expressions with proper handling
of mapped configurations and is used as the source target of properties.
This requires that memoization is done with a key of a pair of target
and config, instead of just config, because now the result also depends
on the target. Removing the memoization entirely is not an option
because it slows cmake down considerably.
The Xcode generator produces FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS from:
(1) Include directories of the form /path/to/Foo.framework become
-F/path/to so '#include <Foo/H>' can find H in the framework.
(2) Linked frameworks of the form /path/to/Foo.framework become
-F/path/to -framework Foo so the linker can find the framework.
Originally commit 82bb6fae (add framework support to FIND_FILE,
2005-12-27) added these and used the (then current) old-style link
dependency analysis results to get the frameworks. Later a second
setting was added by commit 2ed6191f (add initial xcode framework stuff,
2007-05-08) to transform -F/path/to linker options produced by the old
link line generation into entries appended to FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS.
Then commit 96fd5909 (Implement linking with paths to library files,
2008-01-22) updated the second setting to directly use the results of
full modern link dependency analysis, but forgot to remove the use of
old-style link results from the original setting location.
The two settings worked together for a while, with the second one
appending to the first. Then commit f33a27ab (Generate native Xcode 3.0
and 3.1 projects, 2009-06-29) changed the internal representation format
produced by the first setting but did not update the second setting to
append to the new representation. As a result, if the first setting
added any paths (usually via the old-style link analysis) then the
second setting containing the modern link analysis results would not be
applied at all.
Fix this by removing use of the old-style link analysis results.
Replace it using the modern link dependencies and remove the second
setting altogether. Now all values for FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS are
collected in one place so no special append logic is needed.
Pass the name of the requested generator to the generator factory,
which is now responsible to check if it can create a matching
generator for the name. This allows us to add more logic to the
factory in a next step, so that not every possible generator needs
to get registered explicit in cmake::AddDefaultGenerators().
The path must be either absolute or relative to the working directory
from which the makefile will be loaded. In subprojects this is not
relative to the top of the build tree.
