Since commit 08cb4fa4 (Process generator expressions in the
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property., 2012-09-18), it is possible to use
generator expressions with the include_directories command.
As that command can also have a SYSTEM argument, ensure that the
result of using that argument with generator expressions gives a
sane result.

The commit 18a3195a ('Keep track of INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES as a vector
of structs.', 2012-11-19) moved the handling of includes from
cmGeneratorTarget to cmTarget, but in the process introduced this
bug.
link.exe has problems with very very long lines in rsp files too.
Use $in_newline instead of $in variable for rspcontent which
separates the arguments with a newline instead of a simple space
and was specially made for this purpose.
Each data file to be created in the build tree corresponds one-to-one with
a raw file or content link in the source tree. Use the MAIN_DEPENDENCY of
add_custom_command to attach the build rule to the source tree file. This
looks much nicer in the IDE project file browser and avoids ".rule" files.
Run the test with the ctest --build-noclean option. The test
CMakeLists.txt file already uses file(REMOVE_RECURSE) to clean out
downloaded data anyway. Some file removed by "msdev ... /clean" causes
CMake to re-run in the middle of the build step and file(REMOVE_RECURSE)
wipes out already-generated files.
Since commit d46d8df0 (Re-implemented cmGeneratedFileStream to look like a
real stream and replace the destination file atomically, 2004-11-03) our
RenameFile implementation tries to deal with MoveFile not replacing
read-only files. In order to avoid the Get/SetFileAttributes pair we used
stat to test for existence of the destination file. This has a race in
which the destination could be created between the test for existence and
the MoveFile call.
Remove the stat call and use GetFileAttributes to detect whether the file
exists. This shortens the race but does not eliminate it. Use a loop to
try multiple times in case we lose the race. While at it, drop Win9x
support and always use MoveFileEx.
Generator expressions whose output depends on the configuration
now record that fact. The GetIncludeDirectories method can use
that result to cache the include directories for later calls.
GetIncludeDirectories is called multiple times for a target
for each configuration, so this should restore performance for
multi-config generators.
While porting boost to use these features, the generation step took
too long (several minutes before I stopped it). The reason was that
the boost libraries form a large interdependent mesh. The libraries
list their dependencies in their INTERFACE such as:
$<LINKED:boost::core>;$<LINKED:boost::config>;$<LINKED:boost::mpl>
As boost::core already depends on the boost::config libraries, that
expression has no impact on the end-content, as it is removed after
the generation step. There is no DAG issue though, so the generator
expression evaluation would fully evaluate them. In the case of the
config library, it also depends on the core library, so all depends
are followed through that again, despite the fact that they've just
been evaluated. After this patch, the evaluation skips libraries if
they have already been seen via depends or directly in the content.
This patch keeps track of targets whose INTERFACE has been consumed
already. The INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS properties
are whitelisted because repeated content will be stripped out later
during generation. For other properties now and in the future, that
may not be the case.
This establishes that linking is used to propagate usage-requirements
between targets in CMake code. The use of the target_link_libraries
command as the API for this is chosen because introducing a new command
would introduce confusion due to multiple commands which differ only in
a subtle way.
This is both a short form of using a TARGET_DEFINED expression
together with a TARGET_PROPERTY definition, and a way to strip
non-target content from interface properties when exporting.
Projects set interface requirements upstream, and existing
downstreams use of target_link_libraries will consume those interfaces.
This can create a backward compatibility concern as the result may
be changing the order of include directories of downstreams, or another
side-effect of using the INTERFACE properties.
Provide a way for them to emulate the behavior of a version-based
policy in the config file.
Both commit 8a37ebec (Add the target_include_directories command,
2013-01-01) and commit fc61a7a7 (Add the target_compile_definitions
command, 2013-01-08) added command implementations deriving from the new
cmTargetPropCommandBase class. Fix cmTypeMacro declarations of the
inheritance relationship.
The test added by commit e378ba5f (Add CTestLimitDashJ test, 2012-12-26)
crashes with CTest compiled by Borland 5.8. There seems to be interaction
among the large number of internal ctest runs. It is probably related to
the undiscovered underlying issue mentioned in commit 32478069 (CTest:
Prevent creation of unbounded number of tests in ctest, 2012-12-18) when
fixing the symptom covered by the CTestLimitDashJ test.
Add --force-new-ctest-process to avoid the crash. Further investigation
will still be needed to identify the true problem.
