Work around the command-line-length limit by using an @linklibs.rsp
response file to pass the flags for link libraries. This allows
very long lists of libraries to be used in addition to the existing
support for passing object files via response file.

The generators for executable and library targets duplicate the logic to
call the OutputLinkLibraries helper on the local generator. Factor it
out into a cmMakefileTargetGenerator::CreateLinkLibs method to avoid
dpulication.
Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties. Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important. Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.
The <OBJECT_DIR> placeholder is supposed to be the base intermediate
files directory for the current target. This is how it gets replaced
during link line generation. However, during compile line generation
we replace it with the directory containing the current object file
which may be a subdirectory. Fix replacement of <OBJECT_DIR> in the
generated compile lines to be the base intermediate files directory.
This was expoxed by commit 42ba1b08 (VS: Separate compiler and linker
PDB files, 2013-04-05) when we added a "/Fd<OBJECT_DIR>/" flag to the
MSVC compile line in order to match the VS IDE default compiler program
database location in the intermediate files directory. For source files
in a subdirectory relative to the current target this caused the wrong
location to be used for the compiler program database. This becomes
particularly important when using precompiled headers.
While at it, use the cmTarget::GetSupportDirectory method to compute the
intermediate files directory for the current target instead of repeating
the logic in a few places.
Just enough to reach the BuildMacContentDirectory method and the
NeedRelinkBeforeInstall methods.
In the future, those methods can be moved to cmGeneratorTarget.
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.
Make handling of directory separators consistent between
non-bundle and bundle code.
Remove xcode specific flag from cmTarget when getting install_name.
Add (more) consistent convenience functions in cmTarget to get
directories inside of bundles and frameworks to add files to.
This refactor also fixes bug #12263 where frameworks
had the wrong install name when SKIP_BUILD_RPATH.
Also make install_name for frameworks consistent between Makefile
and Xcode generator.

Teach the Windows-GNU.cmake platform file to look for Visual Studio
tools matching the target ABI. Add an extra step to the link command
for shared libraries and executables that export symbols and on which a
new GNUtoMS property is set (initialized by the CMAKE_GNUtoMS option).
Tell the GNU linker to output a module definition (.def) file listing
exported symbols in addition to the GNU-format import library (.dll.a).
Pass the .def file to the MS "lib" tool to construct a MS-format DLL
import library (.lib).
Teach the install(TARGETS) command to install the MS import library next
to the GNU one. Teach the install(EXPORT) and export() command to set
the IMPORTED_IMPLIB property pointing at the import library to use the
import library matching the tools in the importing project.
This switches the internal generation order but does not affect the
results. The new order ensures that any internal state changed by
generating target-wide flags is known when the individual rules that use
those flags are generated.
The CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES variable works only as a global setting.
This commit defines target properties
OSX_ARCHITECTURES
OSX_ARCHITECTURES_<CONFIG>
to specify OS X architectures on a per-target and per-configuration
basis. See issue #8725.
The commit "add support for borland run time flag for shared builds"
started using the value of CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CXX_FLAGS to link
executables because Borland requires some flags both at compile and link
time. This change ended up propagating all the way to the current
Makefile generators and the behavior applies on all platforms.
In general it is incorrect to use these flags to link executables. The
commit "Split Borland compiler information files" re-wrote Borland
support to work without this behavior, so we remove it in this commit.
Patch from Ben Hutchings. See issue #9659.
We create cmMakefileTargetGenerator::AddFeatureFlags to consolidate
addition of language flags. Currently it just adds the flags from
generic per-language flag variables (AddLanguageFlags).
We recognize .def source files and map them to the /DEF:<file> option in
the MSVC tools. Previously this worked only for shared libraries. This
commit cleans up the implementation and makes it work for executables
too. See issue #9613.
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.
Some vendor tools convert PDB file names given on the command line to
lower-case before creating the file. When CMake places a mixed-case PDB
file name into the build system, the file does not exist the first time
and it is written with mixed case. After the first build though the
native tool has created a lower-case version of the file. If CMake does
CollapseFullPath again, the file exists so the actual-case lookup gets
the lower-case name. This causes the build files to change so the
project rebuilds.
The solution is to avoid calling CollapseFullPath for files generated by
the build. In the case of PDB files we already construct them from
paths that have been collapsed, so we can just skip the call altogether.
See issue #9350.
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.
This teaches the makefile generators to always pass the configuration
name to the cmTarget::GetDirectory method. Later this will allow
per-configuration target output directories, and it cleans up use of the
current API.
This member stores the build configuration for which Makefiles are being
generated. It saves repeated lookup of the equivalent member from
cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3, making code shorter and more readable.
This creates global property RULE_MESSAGES which can be set to disbale
per-rule progress and action reporting. On Windows, these reports may
cause a noticable delay due to the cost of starting extra processes.
This feature will allow scripted builds to avoid the cost since they do
not need detailed information anyway. This replaces the RULE_PROGRESS
property created earlier as it is more complete. See issue #8726.
This defines global, directory, and target properties
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE, RULE_LAUNCH_LINK, and RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM. Their
values specify 'launcher' command lines which are prefixed to compile,
link, and custom build rules by Makefile generators.
This gives the cmTarget instance for which custom command rules are
being generated to cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3::AppendCustomCommands.
It will be useful in the future.
A previous change accidentally added the MacOS content directory and
Info.plist files created for MACOSX_BUNDLE executables to the list of
CMake input files. This causes CMake to re-generate the project too
often. These items should be added to the list of CMake output files.
Previously generation of object file lists for linker and cleaning
command lines was duplicated for library and executable target
generators. This combines the implementations.
These changes refactor cmLocalGenerator methods Convert and
ConvertToOutputForExisting to support references inside the build tree
using relative paths. After this commit, all tests pass with Makefile
generators when relative paths are enabled by default. See issue #7779.
