Internally cmTarget was passing the target type in several name
computation signatures to support computation of both shared and static
library names for one target. We no longer need to compute both names,
so this change simplifies the internals by using the GetType method and
dropping the type from method signatures.
This property was left from before CMake always linked using full path
library names for targets it builds. In order to safely link with
"-lfoo" we needed to avoid having both shared and static libraries in
the build tree for targets that switch on BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. This meant
cleaning both shared and static names before creating the library, which
led to the creation of CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT to disable the behavior.
Now that we always link with a full path we do not need to clean old
library names left from an alternate setting of BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. This
change removes the CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT property and instead uses its
behavior always. It removes some complexity from cmTarget internally.
This creates target properties ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME, LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME,
and RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME, and per-configuration equivalent properties
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>, LIBRARY_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>, and
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>. They allow specification of target output
file names on a per-type, per-configuration basis. For example, a .dll
and its .lib import library may have different base names.
For consistency and to avoid ambiguity, the old <CONFIG>_OUTPUT_NAME
property is now also available as OUTPUT_NAME_<CONFIG>.
See issue #8920.
This creates method cmTarget::GetOutputTargetType to compute the output
file type 'ARCHIVE', 'LIBRARY', or 'RUNTIME' from the platform and
target type. It factors out logic from the target output directory
computation code for later re-use.
When CTest runs 'cvs log' to get revision information for updated files,
we were passing '-d<now'. The option seems useless since revisions
cannot be created in the future, and can lose revisions if the client
machine clock is behind the server.
Nested classes have no special access to other members of their
enclosing class. In cmFileCopier the nested class MatchRule must use
MatchProperties, so we grant friendship to it.
This gives cmFileCopier a virtual destructor since it has virtual
methods. While we never actually delete through a base pointer (or
dynamically at all), the compiler doesn't know and warns anyway.
The file(INSTALL) command has long been undocumented and used only to
implement install() scripts. We now document it and provide a similar
file(COPY) signature which is useful in general-purpose scripts. It
provides the capabilities of install(DIRECTORY) and install(FILES) but
operates immediately instead of contributing to install scripts.
This teaches the undocumented file(INSTALL) command to deal with
relative paths. Relative input file paths are evaluated with respect to
the current source directory. Relative output file paths are evaluated
with respect to the current binary directory.
While this command is currently used only in cmake_install.cmake scripts
(in -P script mode), this cleans up its interface in preparation for a
documented signature.
The undocumented file(INSTALL) is implemented by a cmFileInstaller class
inside cmFileCommand. This refactors the class to split out code not
specific to installation into a cmFileCopier base class.
This creates a single cmFileInstaller method to dispatch installation of
symlinks, directories, and files. The change removes duplicate tests of
input file type and makes the decision more consistent.
While copying a directory the destination must have owner rwx
permissions. This corrects our check, this time with correct operator
precedence using parenthesis.
Previously we rejected all preprocessor definition values containing
spaces for the VS6 IDE generator. In fact VS6 does support spaces but
not in combination with '"', '$', or ';', and only if we use the sytnax
'-DNAME="value with spaces"' instead of '-D"NAME=value with spaces"'.
Now we support all definition values that do not have one of these
invalid pairs. See issue #8779.
