These policies should be checked at the call site that tries to access
the LOCATION or SOURCES property, not the directory scope containing the
target. Thread the caller context through cmTarget::GetProperty to use
for checking the policy setting and emitting a diagnostic with proper
backtrace.
Extend the RunCMake.CMP0026 and RunCMake.CMP0051 tests with
cross-directory cases.

Commit b8af2011 (cmTarget: Fix listing of source files at
configure-time., 2014-04-13) refactored a GetObjectLibrariesCMP0026
method out of GetLanguages. In flight, a conditional use of a target
if available was changed to an assert-available.
This code is only used to read the LOCATION property at configure
time, when the link information is incomplete, and not all targets
are defined, so the assert is inappropriate, even though it can lead
to incorrect information being generated. CMP0026 warns about the
potentially incorrect information anyway.
8d0b1cca Features: FATAL_ERROR on compilers with no recorded features.
447fbb3f Tests: Execute compile features tests unconditionally.
597bb72e Tests: Run RunCMake.target_compile_features unconditionally.
Users of the new target_compile_features command are expected to
check the existence of the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_FEATURES variable before
attempting to use it to require features.
When the primary source tree path named by a DATA{} reference does not
exist, produce an AUTHOR_WARNING instead of a FATAL_ERROR. This is
useful when writing a new DATA{} reference to a test reference output
that has not been created yet. This way the developer can run the test,
manually verify the output, and then copy it into place to provide the
reference and eliminate the warning.
If the named source tree path is expected to be a file but exists as a
directory, we still need to produce a FATAL_ERROR.
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.
Allow directories in the source tree or build tree only if the
install tree is a subdirectory of the source tree or build tree,
as appropriate.
Re-use the test files in the RunCMake.include_directories test
to run in multiple scenarios. Bump the required CMake version
in the test to 3.0 to ensure that the new policy warnings are
emitted correctly.
This can be used to set the compiler features required by particular
targets. An error is issued at CMake time if the compiler does not
support the required feature. If a language dialect flag is required
by the features used, that will be added automatically.
Base the target_compile_features command on cmTargetPropCommandBase. This
gives us 'free' handling of IMPORTED, ALIAS, INTERFACE, non-compilable
and missing targets.
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.
Record the availability of this feature for GNU 4.8 on (UNIX AND
NOT APPLE) only. In the future, availability can be recorded for
earlier GNU, for other platforms and for other compilers. Initially
the affected configurations are as restricted as possible to allow
for easy testing while extending the features vector in only one
dimension.
The error message when using the set_property API directly is not
very good, but follow up commits will provide origin debugging of
the property and a target_compile_features command which will
provide a configure-time backtrace when possible.
This will allow decoupling the name of the test from the name and
location of the source file under test, which means one source
file can be used for multiple tests.
Rename the PARENT_SCOPE test in RunCMake.set to not use a keyword
of the if() command as a file name. As the filename is now used
with an if condition, this causes a conflict.

Disallow the use of config-specific source files with

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), $(CURRENT_ARCH) etc. To avoid generating
content which is not usable in other contexts, report an error if
there is an attempt to use it in other contexts.
This commit may be reverted in the future if a solution to the
above difference is implemented.
Remove use of UseObjectLibraries from Makefile and Ninja generators. It
is not needed now because those generators use GetExternalObjects
which already contains the objects from object libraries.
The VS10 generator calls both the UseObjectLibraries and the GetExternalObjects
methods. Ensure that duplicates are not created by skipping objects
from object libraries in handling of GetExternalObjects.
Similarly, fix VS6, VS7 and Xcode object handling by skipping
external objects from OBJECT_LIBRARY usage as appropriate.
The error message in the BadSourceExpression1 test is now reported
by the generator expression evaluator, so it has different text.
Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH, and CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH
cache and environment variables to extend PKG_CONFIG_PATH before calling
pkg-config.
In each of the path in these variables it searches for lib/pkgconfig.
Then, depending on the system, it searches for
lib/${CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE}/pkgconfig (debian) or for
lib64/pkgconfig (other 64 bit unixes). If any of these path is found,
it is appended to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH enviromnent variable.
Add two new arguments to the pkg_check_module and pkg_search_module
macro, NO_CMAKE_PATH and NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH. The new signature
are therefore:
pkg_check_modules(<PREFIX> [REQUIRED] [QUIET]
[NO_CMAKE_PATH] [NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
<MODULE> [<MODULE>]*)
pkg_search_module(<PREFIX> [REQUIRED] [QUIET]
[NO_CMAKE_PATH] [NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH]
<MODULE> [<MODULE>]*)
By default, if CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED_VERSION is 3.1 or later (in
order to keep compatibility with the previous behavior), or if
PKG_CONFIG_USE_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is set, the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH,
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH, and CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH cache and environment
variables will be added to pkgconfig search path.
The NO_CMAKE_PATH and NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH arguments disable this
behavior for the cache variables and the environment variables,
respectively, similarly to the find_package() command.
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.

On OS X we pass -DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0025=NEW to all tests.
Once tests start using cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0) then
CMake will warn that CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0025 is unused.
These warnings are not part of the expected test output and can
cause such tests to fail. Pass --no-warn-unused-cli to each test
cmake invocation to tell it not to produce these warnings.

84e5f5a0 cmTarget: Move SourceFileFlags to cmGeneratorTarget.
Replace calls to GetLinkInformation with calls to a method to get only
the target closure, not the link languages etc. The replaced calls
are used while evaluating generator expressions only. This makes
transitive generator expression evaluation independent from
the languages of a target. In a follow-up topic, it will be possible
to make the languages depend on generator expression evaluation, via
evaluation of the SOURCES and INTERFACE_SOURCES target properties.
Because the order of entries is not the same as the final link line,
the order of debug output is different in the RunCMake.CompatibleInterface
test, because the BOOL_PROP7 target property is evaluated first. Adjust
the test to account for that new order.
There are some corner cases in variable expansion which would be nice to
capture before going and rewriting the variable expansion code. The
majority of these are related to configuring files and strings with '@'
in them in conjunction with @ONLY being specified. Another is testing
for '(' usage inside of ENV variable references based on whether it is
quoted or not.
This has to be tested separately from the invalid_signature test because
target sources are evaluate at a later time, and earlier errors in the
invalid_signature test cause early exit.
Enable the C and CXX languages only in the test cases that really need
them. In the failure cases we do not get far enough to really use the
languages, so skip enabling them.

7e142c5a project: Manage VERSION variables
16d040c9 project: Add optional LANGUAGES keyword
00007dcc Help: Format project command and variable documentation
Teach the project() command to set variables
{PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}
holding the project version number and its components. Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.
Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project(). Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.
Suggested-by: Alex Neundorf <neundorf@kde.org>
Teach the project() command to recognize an optional "LANGUAGES"
keyword after the project name and prior to the list of languages.
Do not allow multiple copies of the keyword. If the keyword is
specified and no languages are listed, imply NONE.
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.
Define a new 'CMAKE_CONFIGURE_DEPENDS' directory property that projects
can use to specify input files to the CMake configuration process.
Extend the RunCMake.Configure test to verify that the build system
re-runs CMake when this input changes.
Extend the RunCMake.Configure with a case to verify that the CMake
configuration process does not immediately re-run the first time that
the generated build system is invoked.
The logic added by commit ffc0b5e4 (Overwrite the symlink if it already
exists, 2007-02-15) does not recognize and remove existing broken links
before replacing them. Improve the logic to remove any existing
destination file or link (but not directory). On failure, report an
error message explaining why the existing path could not be removed or
the new one could not be created.
Add a RunCMake.CommandLine test to cover 'cmake -E' cases. Start with
test cases covering 'cmake -E create_symlink' behavior on UNIX platforms.
Add a 'run_cmake_command' function that can be used by tests to run a
given command-line and check the results rather than always running a
CMake configuration process. This can be used in the future to test
'cmake -E' for example.

As a new feature it does not need to participate in CMP0024.
Store cmExportBuildFileGenerator instances which correspond to the
export(EXPORT) signature in a second map which does not own the
pointers. This avoids the need to add cmExportBuildFileGenerator
and dependencies to the bootstrap system.
Test that it is an error to read a number-compatible property to
determine the link implementation. An alternative would be to
consider the value to be "0", however, that is too arbitrary
given the use-cases of this feature. Values from this feature may
be used in setting a define, where "0" may have special or invalid
meaning and should be explicit.
If the dependent target sets the property to boolean false, ensure
that that appears in the debug report. Previously, the report
output contained whether the property was consistent among dependencies,
displaying 'TRUE', instead of the content of the property, which may
be 'FALSE'.
Return a std::pair from the consistentProperty method. This makes
it possible to make the return value for string types easier to
reason about. The return value of consistentProperty was previously
set to an empty static string to emulate a 'true' value for the caller
in commit 816b4a8a (cmTarget: Make consistentProperty
return consistent content., 2013-10-22). The pair makes the
consistency result properly typed.
Don't refer to 'both', but a 'mixture'. List all compatible interface
property types possible.
Add another test for a mixture of three compatibilities.
Teach the export command to handle export sets defined by invocations
of install(TARGETS ... EXPORT foo). This makes maintenance of targets
exported to both the build tree and install tree trivial.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

Extend the RunCMake.CMP0037 test to cover these cases.
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.
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.

Split the test cases covering spaces and colons into separate units.
Run the space cases everywhere. Disable the colon cases where they

No Makefile generator on Windows can generate targets with ':'

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.
Resolve conflict in Source/cmTarget.cxx by integrating the changes to
the internal copy constructor from both sides. Also resolve a logical
conflict by dropping the special case for INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets.
Since cmTarget::SetMakefile already forces CMP0022 to NEW for such
targets we need no special handling.
Resolve conflict in Source/cmTargetLinkLibrariesCommand.h by dropping
the documentation change. We will make the same change in the new
location of the same documentation in a separate commit.
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.
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
