cmcldeps wraps cl and adds /showInclude before calling cl.
It parses the output of cl for used headers, drops system
headers and writes them to a GCC like dependency file.
cmcldeps uses ATM ninja code for process handling,
but could be ported later to SystemTools.
TODO: Why needs ninja multiple calls in the BuildDepends test?
Causes compiler modules (currently only GNU) to set a
CMAKE_DEPFILE_FLAGS_${lang} variable, which communicates to
the generator the flags required to cause the compiler to create
dependency files.
The BuildDepends test exercises incremental linking with MSVC and Intel
tools on Windows. In some cases the Intel compiler creates objects that
cause the MS linker it invokes to crash during incremental linking. We
avoid the problem for this test by disabling incremental linking.
- Tests IMPLICIT_DEPENDS_INCLUDE_TRANSFORM properties.
- See issue #6648.
- Works without help in VS IDEs due to native dependency handling.
- Xcode needs help to rebuild correctly.
