Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
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.
As CMAKE_ROOT_FIND_PATH can be a list, a new CMAKE_SYSROOT is
introduced, which is never a list.
The contents of this variable is passed to supporting compilers
as --sysroot. It is also accounted for when processing implicit
link directories reported by the compiler, and when generating
RPATH information.
This has follow-on effects for other methods and classes. Further
work on making the use of const cmTarget pointers common can be
done, particularly with a view to generate-time methods.
This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be
used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce
that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used
with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties
matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for
this target type.
The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator
expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target,
but with the additional restriction that it may not contain
double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED
or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13.
An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library.
At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the
buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may
be added as a feature in a later commit.
The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja
generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes
related to that.
As CMAKE_ROOT_FIND_PATH can be a list, a new CMAKE_SYSROOT is
introduced, which is never a list.
The contents of this variable is passed to supporting compilers
as --sysroot. It is also accounted for when processing implicit
link directories reported by the compiler, and when generating
RPATH information.
dc1d025 OS X: Add test for rpaths on Mac.
8576b3f OS X: Add support for @rpath in export files.
00d71bd Xcode: Add rpath support in Xcode generator.
94e7fef OS X: Add RPATH support for Mac.
RPATH support is activated on targets that have the MACOSX_RPATH
property turned on.
For install time, it is also useful to set INSTALL_RPATH to help
find dependent libraries with an @rpath in their install name.
Also adding detection of rpath conflicts when using frameworks.
When processing link line entries we check for matches with known naming
patterns for static and shared libraries. Teach this logic to recognize
numerical suffixes after shared library names such as "libfoo.so.1".
As of commit 1da75022 (Don't include generator expressions in
old-style link handling., 2012-12-23), such entries are not
included in the LinkLibraries member. Generator expressions in
LinkLibraries are not processed anyway, so port to the new way
of getting link information.
The GNU compiler front-ends on AIX invoke the linker with flags of the
form "-L/path/to/gnu/runtime/lib" to tell ld where to find the language
runtime libraries. They depend on the default libpath behavior
documented in "man ld" to add the -L paths also to the runtime libpath
so the dynamic loader can find the language runtime libraries. This
differs from platforms whose linkers have distinct -rpath flags that
non-system compilers can use to tell the dynamic loader where to find
their language runtime libraries.
Since commit 96fd5909 (Implement linking with paths to library files,
2008-01-22) CMake always passes "-Wl,-blibpath:" followed by any
project-defined RPATH plus "/usr/lib:/lib" in order to explicitly set
the runtime libpath and avoid getting all the project -L paths in the
runtime libpath. The explicit libpath prevents the GNU compiler runtime
library -L paths from being placed in the libpath and then the dynamic
loader fails to find the language runtime libraries.
CMake already detects the implicit link directories for each language
since commit 07ea19ad (Implicit link info for C, CXX, and Fortran,
2009-07-23). Add the implicit link directories to the explicit runtime
libpath for GNU compilers on AIX to fix this use case.
The 'head' is the dependent target to be linked with the current target.
It will be used to evaluate generator expressions with proper handling
of mapped configurations and is used as the source target of properties.
This requires that memoization is done with a key of a pair of target
and config, instead of just config, because now the result also depends
on the target. Removing the memoization entirely is not an option
because it slows cmake down considerably.
Previously we hard-coded a list of implicit framework directories but
did not account for CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT or for changes to the list across
OS X versions. Instead we should automatically detect the framework
directories for the active toolchain.
The parent commit added the "-Wl,-v" option to ask "ld" to print its
implicit directories. It displays a block such as:
Framework search paths:
/...
Parse this block to extract the list of framework directories.
Detection may fail on toolchains that do not list their framework
directories, such as older OS X linkers. Always treat the paths
<sdk>/Library/Frameworks
<sdk>/System/Library/Frameworks
<sdk>/Network/Library/Frameworks # Older OS X only
/System/Library/Frameworks
as implicit. Note that /System/Library/Frameworks should always be
considered implicit so that frameworks CMake finds there will not
override the SDK copies.
OpenBSD shared library names end in a ".#.#" version number suffix.
Teach cmComputeLinkInformation to tolerate the extra suffix after
the normal library name suffixes when parsing library names.
The default OS X 10.4 linker incorrectly searches for dependencies of
linked shared libraries only under the -isysroot location. It fails to
find dependencies of linked shared libraries in cases such as the
ExportImport test. It produces errors like:
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: warning can't open dynamic library:
libtestLib3Imp.dylib
referenced from: /.../ExportImport/Root/lib/libtestLib3lib.1.2.dylib
(checking for undefined symbols may be affected) (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: Undefined symbols: _testLib3Imp

or with CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH off to enable install_name in the Export side:

Note how "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" is prepended to the dependent
library path.
Commit 2cff26fa (Support linking to shared libs with dependent libs,
2008-01-31) and commit 82fcaebe (Pass dependent library search path to
linker on some platforms, 2008-02-01) worked around the problem by
defining platform variable CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARY_FILES. It tells
CMake to link to dependent libraries explicitly by their path thus
telling the linker where to find them.
Unfortunately the workaround had the side effect of linking dependent
libraries and defeats most benefits of LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES.
Fortunately OS X 10.5 and above do not need to find transitive
dependencies at all so we can avoid the workaround on Modern OS X.
Teach cmComputeLinkInformation to generate the "-framework" option as a
separate link item preceding the actual framework name. Then escape the
framework name to pass as an argument through a shell. This fixes the
link line for frameworks with spaces in the name.
The build system generators that call cli.GetItems() and generate the
final list of items on the link line already handle escaping correctly
for items that are paths. However, for raw link items like "-lfoo" they
just pass through to the command line verbatim. This is incorrect. The
generators should escape these items too. Unfortunately we cannot fix
that without introducing a new CMake Policy because projects may already
be passing raw link flags with their own escapes to work around this
bug. Therefore we punt on this bug for now and go with the above fix.
Commit afd7d4ca (Add target property LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC, 2008-01-31)
defined a property to ensure that static runtime libraries get selected.
Add a property to specify that all libraries whose type is unknown, such
as "-lm", should be assumed static. Furthermore it assumes that an
option such as "-static" is also used so that no initial -Bstatic is
needed.
In cmComputeLinkInformation we match library names with a regular
expression, possibly extracting the 'lib' prefix. The regex component
to match the prefix always allows an empty prefix to be matched, as in
"(lib|)". Avoid every adding an empty prefix option earlier in the
regex, as in "(|lib|)", because it will be preferred and 'lib' will
never match.
Detect the runtime linker's search path and add to the compile time
linker's search path. This is needed because OpenBSD's static linker
does not search for shared library dependencies in the same places as
the runtime linker.
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.
In cmComputeLinkInformation::Compute we add implicit link information
from languages other than the linker language to the end of the link
line. This factors out that code into separate methods to improve
readability and organization.
We list implicit link items of languages linked into a target but filter
them by the implicit libraries known to be passed by the main linker
language. Implicit link flags like "-z..." should not be filtered out
because they are not libraries.
In cmComputeLinkInformation we recognize link options that look like
library file names, but pass flags starting in '-' through untouched.
This fixes the ordering of the check to recognize '-' flags first in
case the rest of the option looks like a library file name, as in the
case of "-l:libfoo.a".
In cmComputeLinkInformation we construct regular expressions to
recognize library file names. This fixes the expressions to not allow a
colon (':') in the file name so that "-l:libfoo.a" is left alone.
This adds implicit libraries and search directories for languages linked
into a target other than the linker language to its link line. For
example, when linking an executable containing both C++ and Fortran code
the C++ linker is used but we need to add the Fortran libraries.
The variables
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES
CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES
contain the implicit libraries and directories for each language.
Entries for the linker language are known to be implicit in the
generated link line. Entries for other languages that do not appear in
the known implicit set are listed explicitly at the end of the link
line.
This passes the build configuration to most GetLinkerLanguage calls. In
the future the linker language will account for targets linked in each
configuration.
This method previously required the global generator to be passed, but
that was left from before cmTarget had its Makefile member. Now the
global generator can be retrieved automatically, so we can drop the
method argument.
The fix for issue #9130 appends ':' to the end of the build-tree RPATH
unconditionally. This changes the fix to add ':' only when the RPATH is
not empty so that we do not create a build-tree RPATH with just ':'. An
empty RPATH produces no string at all, so there is no chance of merging
with a symbol name anyway.
In ELF binaries the .dynstr string table is used both for the RPATH
string and for program symbols. If a symbol name happens to match the
end of the build-tree RPATH string the linker is allowed to merge the
symbols.
We must not allow this when the RPATH string will be replaced during
installation because it will mangle the symbol. Therefore we always pad
the end of the build-tree RPATH with ':' if it will be replaced. Tools
tend not to use ':' at the end of symbol names, so it is unlikely to
conflict. See issue #9130.
HP-UX uses both .sl and .so as extensions for shared libraries. This
teaches CMake to recognize .so shared libraries so they are treated
properly during link dependency analysis.
In cmComputeLinkInformation items in the final link line returned by
GetItems now contain a pointer to their corresponding cmTarget if they
were produced by a target. This makes available the set of all targets
linked.
When creating an IMPORTED target for a library that has been found on
disk, it may not be known whether the library is STATIC or SHARED.
However, the library may still be linked using the file found from disk.
Use of an IMPORTED target is still important to allow per-configuration
files to be specified for the library.
This change creates an UNKNOWN type for IMPORTED library targets. The
IMPORTED_LOCATION property (and its per-config equivalents) specifies
the location of the library. CMake makes no assumptions about the
library that cannot be inferred from the file on disk. This will help
projects and find-modules import targets found on disk or specified by
the user.
In CMake 2.4 the generated link line for a target always preserved the
originally specified libraries in their original order. Dependencies
were satisfied by inserting extra libraries into the line, though it had
some bugs. In CMake 2.6.0 we preserved only the items on the link line
that are not known to be shared libraries. This reduced excess
libraries on the link line. However, since we link to system libraries
(such as /usr/lib/libm.so) by asking the linker to search (-lm), some
linkers secretly replace the library with a static library in another
implicit search directory (developers can override this by using an
imported target to force linking by full path). When this happens the
order still matters.
To avoid this and other potential subtle issues this commit restores
preservation of all non-target items and static library targets. This
will create cases of unnecessary, duplicate shared libraries on the link
line if the user specifies them, but at least it will work. In the
future we can attempt a more advanced analysis to safely remove
duplicate shared libraries from the link line.
We never explicitly specify system library directories in linker or
runtime search paths. Furthermore, libraries in these directories are
always linked by asking the linker to search for them. We need to
generate a warning when explicitly specified search directories contain
files that may hide the system libraries during the search.
This change introduces policy CMP0008 to decide how to treat full path
libraries that do not appear to be valid library file names. Such
libraries worked by accident in the VS IDE and Xcode generators with
CMake 2.4 and below. We support them in CMake 2.6 by introducing this
policy. See policy documentation added by this change for details.
Sometimes we ask the linker to search for a library for which the path
is known but for some reason cannot be specified by full path. In these
cases do not include the library in CMP0003 warnings because we know the
extra paths are not needed for it.

to cmComputeLinkInformation
- Only enable the extended build-tree rpath if
the target will be installed

library based on presence of a symlink
- In cmComputeLinkInformation try to guess an soname before assuming
that a third-party library is built without an soname

it is otherwise unknown
- Use linker search path -L.. -lfoo for lib w/out soname
when platform sets CMAKE_PLATFORM_USES_PATH_WHEN_NO_SONAME

and generalize it for both soname constraints and link
library constraints
