Commit b04f3b9a (Create make rules for INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets., 2013-08-21) extended the makefile generator to create
build targets for INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. No other generators
were extended with this feature.
This conflicts with the feature of whitelisting of target properties
read from INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The INTERFACE_* properties
of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY may legitimately contain TARGET_PROPERTY
generator expressions for reading properties from the 'head target'.
The 'head target' would be the INTERFACE_LIBRARY itself when creating
the build rules for it, which means that non-whitelisted properties
would be read.
The INTERFACE_LIBRARY type does not have any LOCATION at all, so
return early from GetMappedConfig. GetMappedConfig is called from
two locations, one of which already pre-checks the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
case. Remove that pre-check and handle that case inside the method
instead.
77f3772 cmTarget: Require a compatible INTERFACE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS from dependencies.
2e60b5f cmTarget: Report origin of COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE properties.
Revert the origin-tracking infrastructure from commit 98093c45 (QtAutoUic:
Add INTERFACE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS target property., 2013-11-20). Use the
compatibility-tracking for compatible strings instead.
If two different dependencies require different AUTOUIC_OPTIONS,
cmake will now appropriately issue an error.
Since commit fd6076d0 (Tests: Pass CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM instead of
--build-makeprogram, 2013-11-15) the ExportImport, Fortran, and
MacRuntimePath tests use the value of CMAKE_TEST_MAKEPROGRAM as the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM for their nested projects configurations.
Teach these tests to initialize CMAKE_TEST_MAKEPROGRAM when it is
not provided, such as when building the tests manually.
Commit 66b290e7 (export(): Process the export() command at generate
time., 2012-10-06 ) refactored export() so that it could evaluate
strings at generate-time. This was intended for evaluating target
properties, but that commit also removed a check for target
existence at configure-time. Restore that check and add a test for
this case.

Implement configuration-specific support by following the pattern

Implement support for origin-tracking with CMAKE_DEBUG_TARGET_PROPERTIES.
This is motivated by the needs of KDE, which provides a separate
translation system based on gettext instead of the Qt linguist
translation system. The Qt uic tool provides command line options
for configuring the method used to translate text, and to add an
include directive to the generated file to provide the method.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.frameworks/7930/focus=7992
Implement the interface to provide the uic options as a usage-requirement
on the KI18n target, as designed for KDE.
Creates a hierarchy of WiX features from CPack components and component groups.
Switch to the FeatureTree UI in case components have been defined.
Handles the component REQUIRE and HIDDEN options
and the component group EXPANDED option.
Diagnostics which check the sanity of exported include paths
previously skipped over any path containing a generator expression.
Introduce a policy to issue an error message in such cases.
The export files created in the OLD behavior are not usable, because
they contain relative paths or paths to the source or build location
which are not suitable for use on installation. CMake will report an
error on import.
Code such as
target_include_directories(foo INTERFACE
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:include$<FOO>>
)
should be treated as a relative directory, despite the genex, after
the INSTALL_INTERFACE is stripped away.
Previously, this would generate a relative directory on export, which
would be an error on import, so no policy is needed.
Code such as
install(TARGETS ...
INCLUDES DESTINATION $<INSTALL_INTERFACE:include>
)
should behave as if the INSTALL_INTERFACE wrapper were not present.
In code such as
install(TARGETS ...
INCLUDES DESTINATION $<FOO>include
)
the generator expressions are evaluated at generate-time. Delay
determining whether each entry is a relative path until after
the generator expressions are evaluated. Such relative paths
are based relative to the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Treat paths which are relative and which contain a generator
expression which is not at the beginning as relative to the
source directory.
This matches the behavior of paths which are relative but contain
no generator expression at all.
Previously this would generate a relative path with the IMPORTED
target on export(), which would be a reported as a non-existent
path on import. If used directly in the buildsystem, it would be
reported as a relative path, which is also an error. There is no
need for a policy in this case.
This variable can be useful in cross-compiling contexts where the
sysroot is read-only or where the sysroot should otherwise remain
pristine.
If the new CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable is set, it is used instead
of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when generating the installation rules in
cmake_install.cmake.
This way, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable
always refers to the installation prefix on the target device, regardless
of whether host==target.
If any -rpath paths passed to the linker contain the CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX,
the matching path fragments are replaced with the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Matching paths in the -rpath-link are not transformed.
The cross-prefix usr-move workaround is assumed not to require extension
regarding CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX. The staging area is a single prefix, so
there is no scope for cross-prefix symlinks. The CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
is still used to determine the workaround path, and that variable
remains the relevant one even if CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX is used. If the
generated export files are deployed to the target, the workaround
will still be in place, and still be employed if required.

Teach add_custom_target to check the policy too. Extend the policy to
disallow reserved target names that we use for builtin targets like
"all".
Extend the RunCMake.CMP0037 test to cover these cases.
Pass the CMAKE_TEST_MAKEPROGRAM, if any, to each test at CMake time in
the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry. Pass the CMAKE_TEST_MAKEPROGRAM
into the ExportImport, Fortran, and MacRuntimePath tests so that they
may do the same for the nested project configurations.
Now "ctest --build-and-test" can get the make program from the test
build tree cache, so drop the explicit --build-makeprogram.
Fix the condition that adds the test to check CMAKE_TEST_GENERATOR
rather than the tools used to build CMake. Drop the test on Ninja
because the generator does not support subproject generation anyway.
Stop using the general build_generator_args and pass the
--build-generator options explicitly. Also pass --build-makeprogram
explicitly when CMAKE_TEST_MAKEPROGRAM is available because there is no
CMakeCache.txt in the test project subdirectory from which to pick up
the make program.
Create a CTEST_TEST_DEVENV variable that is set to the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM used for Visual Studio 7, 8, and 9. It will always
be either "devenv" or "VCExpress", and not "MSBuild". Add the
VSExcludeFromDefaultBuild test only when this variable is set, and use
its value as the --build-makeprogram value.
More work will be needed later to restore the test on VS 10 and above
when devenv is available, but this is the simplest approach for now.
The test is only enabled on VS 10 and above, where the generators now
select for "ctest --build-and-test" the MSBuild tool by default.
Simplify the test configuration by dropping the --build-makeprogram
option and all the logic needed to compute its value. The test will
automatically use MSBuild.
Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio
generators, respectively. Later the VS generators started using the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias.
Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern
variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the
other way around. Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules. Nothing needs to lookup
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.
Some extra options are for "ctest --build-and-test" directly, and others
are values for "--build-options". Split these two roles out into two
separate variables and update existing uses.
Use "cmake --build" to drive the "install" target from the CMake build
tree itself. This avoids using the heavier "ctest --build-and-test"
just to run the native build tool to drive installation.
Run the bootstrap script through "cmake -P" instead of
"ctest --build-and-test" so that we do not need to abuse
the --build-makeprogram option of the latter.
Re-implement the build_command() command to use "cmake --build" instead
of generating a native build tool invocation directly. This command
will internally invoke the proper native build tool.
This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce
a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no
quoting or escaping. It will also allow us to later teach CMake to
delay the decision about which build tool to invoke until after the
project build system is generated to disk. For example, on Visual
Studio 10 and above the preferred command-line tool is MSBuild, but we
need to fall back to devenv if the .sln has Intel Fortran .vfproj files.

Commit 239b0c6b (Don't add invalid content to static lib
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES., 2013-10-20) extended a test which
excercised the logic of the LINK_ONLY generator expression.
Commit ef10b87c (CMP0022: Plain target_link_libraries must populate
link interface, 2013-11-02) removed the instance of LINK_ONLY which
was excercised by that test.
Add a new test which excercises the other instance of LINK_ONLY by
setting the CMP0022 policy to NEW and consuming the contents of the
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES target property.
In commit 18412153 (Refactor cmTarget::GetCompileDefinitions...,
2013-06-06) cmQtAutomoc was refactored to get all compile definitions
from the target instead of separately asking the target and querying the
directory-level COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property value. While the
generation process does integrate directory-level COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
into the target definitions, this did not happen until after Automoc
targets are constructed. Therefore the commit regressed use of
directory-level definitions in Automoc targets.
Factor the definition finalization logic out from the
cmGlobalGenerator::CreateGeneratorTargets method into a new
cmGlobalGenerator::FinalizeTargetCompileDefinitions method and call it
before constructing Automoc targets. This will place the
directory-level definitions into the target in time to use them for the
Automoc targets.
Extend the QtAutomoc test to cover this case.

Resolve conflicts in
Tests/RunCMake/CMP0022/CMP0022-WARN-empty-old-stderr.txt
Tests/RunCMake/CMP0022/RunCMakeTest.cmake
by taking the side from the 'policy-CMP0022-fixes' branch.
Since cmTarget::ComputeLinkInterface is called separately for each
"head" target that links a target, the warning we produce when
CMP0022 is not set could be repeated. Add explicit logic to allow
the warning to appear at most once. Multiple copies of the warning
for the same target are almost always identical and therefore
redundant. In the rare case that two copies of the warning are
different, the second can appear in a future run after the first
is fixed.
When cmExportFileGenerator::SetImportLinkInterface exports the old
LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property values it skips doing so for
non-linkable targets because target->GetLinkInterface returns NULL for
such targets.
Since cmExportFileGenerator::PopulateInterfaceLinkLibrariesProperty
looks at the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property directly instead of using
the computed link interface, teach it to skip exporting the property if
target->IsLinkable returns false.
Extend the RunCMake.CMP0022 test with a case covering this. Simply
export an executable target that links to a library that is not
exported.
The CMP0022 NEW behavior is that the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property
exactly defines the link interface. The plain target_link_libraries
signature says linking is transitive by default, so it should populate
the property.
Teach the target_link_libraries plain signature to populate the
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES regardless of the CMP0022 setting. Refactor
the cmTarget::ComputeLinkInterface checks that warn when the policy is
not set to compare the new property to either the explicitly set old
link interface properties or the link implementation fallback for all
linkable target types, not just static libraries.
This fixes a regression in 2.8.12.0 that caused target_link_libraries to
not implement transitive linking in the plain signature once the policy
CMP0022 is set to NEW.
Teach cmGlobalGenerator::CheckTargets to include OBJECT_LIBRARY targets
in the check for source file existence.
Extend the RunCMake.ObjectLibrary test to cover this case.
Some compilers, such as Clang on OS X, do not want the -g flag for both
generating assembly code and assembling it. Drop the -g flag from
generation of main.s in the Assembler test.
Teach the cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator filesystem artifact logic
to reject OBJECT_LIBRARY targets since they have no main artifact.
Without the explicit rejection evaluation falls through to an
internal CMake error message in cmTarget::GetOutputInfo.
Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorExpression test to cover these cases.

Instead of removing the depot name, which causes problems when looking
at the file change list in CDash, make the Update test remove a given
prefix from the files retrieved from Update.xml.
In certain scenarios, it is preferable to keep a 'dirty' install prefix
than to clear it, and to expect that content will not be found there.
Add a CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX variable that can be set to disable
searching the install prefix.
Bracket arguments recorded in command invocations inside foreach,
function, and macro blocks should not have any replacements done when
the arguments are replayed later. Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to
cover these cases.
Simply print out the lines as normal paragraph text. Teach the

3e04946 Require CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to be found as a full path
6007f7c CMakeDetermineCompilerId: Always use compiler detected from IDE
332771c CMakeDetermine*Compiler: Remove temporary cache entry
All generators now support detection of the full path to the compiler, so
require it to be so. This will allow CMake<LANG>Information.cmake and
other logic to assume the full path to the compiler tool is available.
The Makefile generators already rejected CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER values
that did not name an existing compiler. Extend this error message to
all generators, make it occur as early as possible, and improve the
message with advice about how to set the compiler. If the full path to
the compiler is not known, finish enabling languages with a fatal error
so configuration does not continue.
For now, allow the RC language compiler to not be a full path. Later we
will need to detect the full path to "rc" under the VS IDE.

toward this server for the duration of the test.
Only valid target names or generator expressions may appear in
the target field of a LINK_ONLY expression.
Other content like link flags should still be added to that property
(wrapped in config-specific generator expressions), but not wrapped
in LINK_ONLY. Otherwise undue warnings would be issued for the
policy CMP0022.
The LINK_ONLY expression only has an effect for actual target
names anyway, so there is no logical deficit.
Set the minimum required version of CMake high enough to avoid the
warning for CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32. The warning appears on stderr
and breaks the expected output matching.
It was a subtest of the RunCMake.ObjectLibrary test. However, we need
to test a build with ExternalProject after running CMake, which RunCMake tests
do not do.
The source files are already processed by cmQtAutomoc to look for
moc includes, so extend that to also look for ui_ includes and
find corresponding .ui files to process.
This replaces the need to invoke qt4_wrap_ui().
As the ui files are not likely to be part of the SOURCES of the
target, store the options associated with them separately in the
cmMakefile for querying during the autogen run.
Don't try to show the windows, which would require a gui capable test

When using the boost MPL library, one can set a define to increase
the limit of how many variadic elements should be supported. The
default for BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE is 20:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/limit-vector-size.html
If the foo library requires that to be set to 30, and the independent
bar library requires it to be set to 40, consumers of both need to set
it to 40.
add_library(foo INTERFACE)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 30)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
target_compile_definitions(foo INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)
add_library(bar INTERFACE)
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 40)
# Technically the next two lines are redundant, but as foo and bar are
# independent, they both set these interfaces.
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
target_compile_definitions(bar INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)
add_executable(user)
target_link_libraries(user foo bar)
Because the TARGET_PROPERTY reads the boost_mpl_vector_size property
from the HEAD of the dependency graph (the user target), and because
that property appears in the COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX of
the dependencies of the user target, the maximum value for it is
chosen for the compile definition, ie, 40.
There are also use-cases for choosing the minimum value of a number.
In Qt, deprecated API can be disabled by version. Setting the
definition QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0 disables no deprecated
API. Setting it to 0x501000 disables API which was deprecated before
Qt 5.1 etc.
If two dependencies require the use of API which was deprecated in
different Qt versions, then COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MIN can be
used to ensure that both can compile.
When scanning CMake module files for .rst comments, recognize
bracket comments starting in ".rst:" too. For example:
#[[.rst:
Include the bracket comment content terminated by the closing bracket.
Exclude the line containing the bracket if it starts in "#".
Teach the CMakeLib.testRST test to cover multiple bracket lengths
and ending brackets on lines with and without "#".
Update the cmake-developer.7 manual to document the bracket-comment
syntax for .rst documentation.
Teach the CMake language lexer to treat the \-LF pair terminating a
line ending in an odd number of backslashes inside a quoted argument
as a continuation. Drop the pair from the returned quoted argument
token text. This will allow long lines inside quoted argument
strings to be divided across multiple lines in the source file.
It will also allow quoted argument text to start on the line after
the opening quote. For example, the code:
set(x "\
...")
sets variable "x" to the value "..." with no opening newline.
Previously an odd number of backslashes at the end of a line inside
a quoted argument would put a \-LF pair (or a \-CR pair) literally
in the argument. Then the command-argument evaluator would complain
that the \-escape sequence is invalid. Therefore this syntax is
available to use without changing behavior of valid existing code.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover cases of quoted arguments
with lines ending in \, \\, and \\\. Odd counts are continuations.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
Other warnings for the same policy already have similar output since
commit 81d2793e (Add differing target property content to policy CMP0022
warning, 2013-09-11).
Add cmCommand::Disallowed helper to check the setting of a policy that
disallows the command. Add a RunCMake.DisallowedCommands test
placeholder. Add a Help/policy/DISALLOWED_COMMAND.txt file for
inclusion by each policy document to avoid duplication of the common
text.
