The cmGlobalGenerator::ResolveLanguageCompiler method, invoked only by
Makefile generators, contains code originally added by commit v2.4.0~796
(..., add new generators for msys and mingw, 2005-12-22) to compute the
full path to the compiler and save the result back into the cache value.
Since then the CMakeDetermine*Compiler modules have learned to resolve
the full path to the compiler and save it in CMake*Compiler.cmake files
configured in the build tree. The value of CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER in the
cache is now only for reference of what the user originally specified.
The full path is now available in a normal variable of the same name,
and this is used by project code and the generators.
When the user specifies -DCMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER=name on the command-line
of an existing build tree that uses a Makefile generator, it is first
stored in the cache with an uninitialized type. Then later when
ResolveLanguageCompiler updates the cache entry and sets the type to
FILEPATH, cmMakefile::AddCacheDefinition does CollapseFullPath on the
"name" and ends up with something like "$PWD/name" which is unlikely to
be correct. Furthermore, cmMakefile::AddCacheDefinition proceeds to
remove the normal variable of the same name, so the value originally
saved in CMake<LANG>Compiler.cmake is ignored and the generators use the
wrong path to the compiler.
Resolve this by dropping the code from ResolveLanguageCompiler that
touches the cache value of CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER. As explained above it
is no longer needed anyway.
Make the virtual 'Generate' method protected. Make 'DoGenerate'
the main entry point to generation. This gives cmGlobalGenerator
a chance to do some early operations before the individual
generator-specific implementations take over.
Add a cmGlobalGenerator::SetSystemName virtual method. Call it from
cmGlobalGenerator::EnableLanguage as soon as CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is known.
This will give generators a chance to adapt themselves to the target
system. Pass the cmMakefile instance to the method so that the
generator can update it accordingly. Return early from EnableLanguage
if SetSystemName returns false.
Delay use of CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET until the CMakeSystem.cmake
file has been configured and loaded during the first project() or
enable_language() command. This gives the toolchain file named by
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE a chance to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET. This
point is still early enough to set the generator toolset prior to
the initialization of any languages that might use the toolset.
The cmake::GeneratorToolset member variable remains an indication
of what was specified by the -T option or loaded from the cache.
It does not need to be updated based on the toolchain file setting.
The cmMakefile::TryCompile can still pass cmake::GeneratorToolset
into the inner instance because the try-compiled project will do
platform and language initialization using the CMakeSystem module
configured for the outer project.
Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test with cases that use a
toolchain file to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET.
Teach set_property and get_property an "INSTALL" property type to be
associated with install-tree file paths. Make the properties available
to CPack for use during packaging. Add a "prop_inst" Sphinx domain
object type for documentation of such properties.
Create a Modules/CMakeSystemSpecificInitialize.cmake module loaded after
CMakeSystem.cmake but before per-language initialization. Use it to
load an optional Platform/<os>-Initialize.cmake module. This will be
useful to do per-platform initialization that does not depend on the
language and use the results when enabling specific languages.

...
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.
Add a ComputeObjectMapping method to compute the object
names. It takes mapping to populate as an out-parameter so
that it can be extended in the future with parameters
relevant to generator expression evaluation.
Remove the supporting cmGeneratorTarget::AddObject method. It is
no longer needed as the container member is populated directly.
The ComputeObjectMapping method is called whenever objects are
requested from the cmGeneratorTarget. Because the Xcode generator
makes no such request, explicitly invoke the method from that
generator so that the logic of checking for bad sources in object
libraries is executed.
In a follow-up, the UseObjectLibraries usage may be replaced by a
true generator expression evaluator for TARGET_OBJECTS. That
will require generators to use cmGeneratorTarget::GetExternalObjects
which is not currently the case for Xcode and VS generators.
These policies are triggered by the use of a particular compiler rather
than outdated CMake code in a project. Avoid warning in every project
that enables a language by not displaying the policy warning by default.
Add variable CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN> to control the warning
explicitly; otherwise enable the warning with --debug-output or --trace.
This breaks with strict policy convention because it does not provide
developers with any warning about the behavior change by default.
Existing projects will continue to build without a warning or change in
behavior. When a developer changes the minimum required version of
CMake in a project to a sufficiently high value (3.0), the project will
suddenly get the new compiler id and may break, but at least the
breakage comes with a change to the project rather than the version of
CMake used to build it.
Breaking strict policy convention is worthwhile in this case because
very few projects will be affected by the behavior change but every
project would have to see the warning if it were enabled by default.
Implement it in terms of the ComputeObjectFilenames virtual method
on the local generators.
Remove the reimplementation from the global generators which are
now all functionally identical.
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.
Implement a Visitor to hold the sequence of source file tests
for populating outputs. Use VS 6 and 7 workaround from Brad
King for lack of partial template specialization and function
template specialization capabilities.
This will make it possible to use context dependent generator
expressions to determine the sources of a target.
In a follow-up, the list of sources will become dependent on
the config, so check for existence in cmTarget::GetSourceFiles
instead of up-front with cmGlobalGenerator::CheckTargets().
When using link_directories() and including CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR,
one can end up with duplicate RPATHs in the binary which
install_name_tool cannot fix without corrupting the binary.
Also, the cmake_install.cmake file has been fixed to correctly
handle these generator specific variables.
Introduce policy CMP0047 to control resetting the id for
compatibility.
De-duplicate content in the QNX platform file by including the GNU
one. QNX is a form of GNU platform.
Do not clear CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_${lang}_FLAGS variables. They
are populated again later by the Compiler/GNU.cmake file anyway.
Modify the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_OBJECT variable only when the QCC
compiler id is in use, and the language is CXX. Use the QNX
recommended flag for QCC instead of the gcc compatible -x flag.
Populate new module files to handle system includes and depfiles
when using the QCC compiler.
Remove code which unsets the system include and depfiles related
variables. When a GNU driver is used instead of the QCC one, the
appropriate flags will be used. These variables were previously
cleared for lowest-common-denominator compatibility with both
drivers.
