Add WindowsSDKDesktopARMSupport to the .vcxproj to avoid 'error MSB8022:
Compiling Desktop applications for the ARM platform is not supported.'
from VS.
Append %(IgnoreSpecificDefaultLibraries) to any user-specified
libraries so that the system-default list of libraries to ignore
is honored even when the user specifies more.
Create a WriteHeaderSource method to handle writing of sources
classified by cmGeneratorTarget as header files. This will be
useful to add special VS-specific handling for some headers.
Create a WriteExtraSource method to handle writing of sources not
classified by cmGeneratorTarget for any particular purpose. This
will be useful to add special VS-specific handling for some sources.
In cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator, add missing cmVS10EscapeXML
calls around paths to source and object files, custom command
dependencies and outputs, and platform name/version values.
Some FlagMap entries are ;-lists. Store values as vector<string> so
that individual values may contain ';' characters. Delay the
construction of the final ;-list until writing to the VS project file.
With this approach the generated file may contain ;-separated values
that contain encoded ';' characters.
Make blocks adding MS-tool-specific options conditional on a
new "MSTools" boolean member of cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.
Hard-code the member to true for now to preserve existing behavior.
Teach the VS >= 10 generator to honor flags other than -I and -D
in the CMAKE_RC_FLAGS[_<CONFIG>] variable. Place them within the
ResourceCompile .vcxproj element under AdditionalOptions.
Also add a rudimentary flag map to map '-n' to 'NullTerminateStrings'.
Run cmparseMSBuildXML.py on cl.xml, lib.xml, and link.xml to generate
our flag tables:
python cmparseMSBuildXML.py -x ".../MSBuild/Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V140/1033/cl.xml" > cmVS14CLFlagTable.h
python cmparseMSBuildXML.py -x ".../MSBuild/Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V140/1033/lib.xml" > cmVS14LibFlagTable.h
python cmparseMSBuildXML.py -x ".../MSBuild/Microsoft.Cpp/v4.0/V140/1033/link.xml" > cmVS14LinkFlagTable.h
Fix up the declaration names at the top of each file. Finally, teach
cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator to select the version of the table
matching the version of VS.

Factor a WriteMSToolConfigurationValues helper method out of the
cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteProjectConfigurationValues method
to isolate the configuration settings specific to MS tools.
The cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::ComputeClOptions method is
only called when the target type compiles, so do not duplicate
that check in the implementation.
When a binary output file is to have no extension, the TargetExt
element in the vcxproj cannot be left empty because VS will choose
a default extension. Instead use "." because the Windows filesystem
will treat that as an empty extension.
In cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator, convert the static functions
currently used to lookup the flag table for each tool into class
methods. This avoids passing the this->LocalGenerator member and
gives the methods access to other information that may be useful
in the future.
As explained in cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteSource comments,
VS tools append relative paths to the current directory, e.g.
c:\path\to\current\dir\..\..\..\relative\path\to\source.c
and fail if this is over 250 charaters or so. Previously we used a full
path only if no relative path could be constructed with a leading "../"
sequence that does not escape the source or build tree. This means that
long relative paths can be generated when the build tree is inside the
source tree, and can cause build failures due to the above path
concatenation problem.
Teach cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::ConvertPath to ask the Convert
method to honor CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS. This will cause it to use
full paths by default but still give users the option of getting the
relative paths when possible.

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.
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.
Until now the cmCustomCommandGenerator was used only to compute the
command lines of a custom command. Generalize it to get the comment,
working directory, dependencies, and outputs of custom commands. Update
use in all generators to support this.
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.
In VS <= 9 we already convert include paths to use backslashes
but the conversion was left out of the VS >= 10 generator.
Add the conversion now for consistency. VS 11 and 12 now require
it because they mistakenly interpret forward-slash options that
happen to occur in paths:

As an INTERFACE_LIBRARY has no direct link dependencies, we can
short-circuit in cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator and
in cmGlobalGenerator::CheckLocalGenerators.
As they do not generate any output directly, any generate- or install-
related code acn also be short-circuited. Many of the local generators
already do this.
Because only INTERFACE related properties make sense on INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets, avoid setting other properties, for example via defaults.
