Rolf Eike Beer c768e398f9 cmMakefile: make some methods take const std::string& instead of const char*
Most callers already have a std::string, on which they called c_str() to pass it
into these methods, which internally converted it back to std::string. Pass a
std::string directly to these methods now, avoiding all these conversions.
Those methods that only pass in a const char* will get the conversion to
std::string now only once.

Stephen Kelly 370bf55415 Add the ALIAS target concept for libraries and executables.
* 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.

Ben Boeckel 31bd83e9fc set_property: Do not remove a property when APPENDing nothing 2013-07-24 10:50:15 -04:00
Alex Neundorf 9dbba1b464 Fix : Add APPEND_STRING option to set_property()
set_property() has APPEND, which creates a list. E.g. when
appending to COMPILE_FLAGS a string is needed, not a list.
With the APPEND_STRING option the value is append as string,
not as list.

Brad King 96afb12087 Convert CMake to OSI-approved BSD License
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.

Brad King dd7b48c9c3 ENH: Define STRINGS cache entry property
This property defines a list of values for a cache entry of type STRING.
A CMake GUI may optionally use a drop-down selection widget for the
entry instead of a generic text entry field.  We do not enforce that the
value of the entry match one of the strings listed.

Brad King e5e91d6179 ENH: Teach set/get_property about CACHE properties
This adds the CACHE option to set_property and get_property commands.
This allows full control over cache entry information, so advanced users
can tweak their project cache as desired.  The set_property command
allows only pre-defined CACHE properties to be set since others would
not persist anyway.

Brad King ed3bb743f4 ENH: Improve test property speed with a map
Previously we stored a vector of tests to preserve their order.
Property set/get operations would do a linear search for matching tests.
This uses a map to efficiently look up tests while keeping the original
order with a vector for test file generation.

Brad King fe98e57e38 ENH: Disallow link-type keywords in link interface
The LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES target property may not contain the
"debug", "optimized", or "general" keywords.  These keywords are
supported only by the target_link_libraries (and link_libraries) command
and are not a generic library list feature in CMake.  When a user
attempts to add one of these keywords to the property value, we now
produce an error message that refers users to alternative means.

Brad King 5594ad4885 ENH: Updated exporting and importing of targets to support libraries and configurations.
- 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
