Since commit e5da9e51 (cmTarget: Allow any generator expression in
SOURCES property., 2014-03-18), source files are computed by
true evaluation of generator expressions, including TARGET_OBJECTS.
This evaluation requires the presence of cmGeneratorTarget objects
since commit bf98cc25 (Genex: Evaluate TARGET_OBJECTS as a normal
expression., 2014-02-26).
Ensure that we don't attempt to evaluate the TARGET_OBJECTS generator
expression at configure-time, as can happen if CMP0024 or CMP0026
are OLD. Use old-style parsing of the source item to extract
object target names in that case.
Avoid calling GetProperty("SOURCES") to bypass warnings from CMP0051.
Refactor existing logic in GetLanguages which is similar in intent to
the new GetSourceFiles code.
The AddSource method accepts one file and tries to avoiding adding
it to the sources-list of the target if it already exists. This
involves creating many cmSourceFileLocation objects for matching
on existing files, which is an expensive operation.
Avoid the searching algorithm by appending the new sources as one
group. Generate-time processing of source files will ensure
uniqueness.
Add a new AddTracedSources for this purpose. The existing
AddSources method must process the input for policy CMP0049, but
as these source filenames come from cmSourceFile::GetFullPath(),
we can forego that extra processing.
Computing the language involves computing the source files, which
is an expensive operation. It requires calling
cmMakefile::GetOrCreateSource many times, which involves creating
and matching on many cmSourceFileLocation objects.
Source files of a target may depend on the head-target and the
config as of commit e6971df6 (cmTarget: Make the source files depend
on the config., 2014-02-13). The results are cached for each context
as of commit c5b26f3b (cmTarget: Cache the cmSourceFiles in
GetSourceFiles., 2014-04-05).
Each target in the build graph causes language computation of all
of its dependents with itself as the head-target. This means that
for 'core' libraries on which everything depends, the source files
are computed once for every transitive target-level-dependee and
the result is not cached because the head-target is different. This
was observed in the VTK buildsystem.
Short circuit the computation for targets which have a source-list
that is independent of the head-target. If the source-list has
already been computed and the generator expression evaluation
reports that it was context-independent, return the only source-list
already cached for the target. Reset the short-circuit logic when
sources are added and when the link libraries are re-computed.
Extend the interface of the target_compile_features command with
PUBLIC and INTERFACE keywords. Populate the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property if they are set. Consume the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property from linked dependent targets to determine the final
required compiler features and the compile flag, if needed.
Use the same pattern of origin-debugging which is used for other
build properties.
Use the contents of it to upgrade the CXX_STANDARD target property,
if appropriate. This will have the effect of adding the -std=c++11
compile flag or other language specification on GNU when that is
needed for the feature.
Avoid calling GetSourceFiles with the same result container multiple
times when tracing target dependencies. The result from the previous
configuration is cached and used later otherwise.
Avoid calling AddSource for each src filename. That involves
checking each entry for uniqueness and creating a separate
generator expression for each one.
Instead, add a single entry for the list of sources. The source
files are passed through a uniqueness filter at generate-time, so
duplicates don't matter so much.

Extend the cmGeneratorExpressionDAGChecker with an interface
returning the name of the top target. Use that to determine
when there is a DAG violation, as required by the RunCMake.Languages
tests.
Disallow the use of config-specific source files with
the Visual Studio and Xcode generators. They don't have
any way to represent the condition currently.
Use the same common-config API in cmQtAutoGenerators. While
it accepts config-specific files, it doesn't have to support
multiple configurations yet.
Loop over the configs in cmTargetTraceDependencies
and cmGlobalGenerator::WriteSummary and consume all source
files.
Loop over the configs in cmComputeTargetDepends and compute the
object library dependencies for each config.
The output of this expression may contain macros for IDEs to replace
such as $(Configuration), $(CURRENT_ARCH) etc. To avoid generating
content which is not usable in other contexts, report an error if
there is an attempt to use it in other contexts.
This commit may be reverted in the future if a solution to the
above difference is implemented.
Remove use of UseObjectLibraries from Makefile and Ninja generators. It
is not needed now because those generators use GetExternalObjects
which already contains the objects from object libraries.
The VS10 generator calls both the UseObjectLibraries and the GetExternalObjects
methods. Ensure that duplicates are not created by skipping objects
from object libraries in handling of GetExternalObjects.
Similarly, fix VS6, VS7 and Xcode object handling by skipping
external objects from OBJECT_LIBRARY usage as appropriate.
The error message in the BadSourceExpression1 test is now reported
by the generator expression evaluator, so it has different text.
This will allow the strings to contain generator expressions.
At this point, generator expressions are still not part of the
SOURCES property when it is read.
Restore support for the undocumented <CONFIG>_LOCATION target property
removed by commit v3.0.0-rc1~175^2 (cmTarget: Remove support for
<CONFIG>_LOCATION property, 2013-12-30) as part of the CMP0026 OLD
behavior.
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.
When given a non-NULL configuration the GetLocation returned the
location for the given configuration. When given a NULL configuration
the GetLocation method returned a location with the build-system
placeholder for the configuration name. Split the latter use case out
into a separate GetLocationForBuild method and update call sites
accordingly.
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.
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.
Add a cmTarget::CompileInfo struct to hold per-configuration information
about the compilation settings in a target. This is different than
cmTarget::OutputInfo because it applies to any targets that can compile
sources even if they do not link or archive.
