The VS version we generate in the .sln header is used by VS when opening
the file through Windows Explorer and possibly elsewhere. Fix our
generators to use version strings known to VS to avoid a drop-down box.
For VS 10, since commit 4f96af44 (Fix VS 10 .sln files for Windows
Explorer, 2009-10-22) we use "Visual Studio 2010" instead of just
"Visual Studio 10". This is correct except that for the Express edition
we need "Visual C++ Express 2010".
For VS 11, since commit f0d66ab4 (VS11: Fix comment generated at the top
of *.sln files, 2011-10-20) we use "Visual Studio 11" in the .sln header
but the preferred value is "Visual Studio 2012" (just as the first
commit mentioned above fixed for VS 10). Also for the Express edition
we need "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop".
The API for retrieving per-config COMPILE_DEFINITIONS has long
existed because of the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> style
properties. Ensure that the provided configuration being generated
is also used to evaluate the generator expressions
in cmTarget::GetCompileDefinitions.
Both the generic COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and the config-specific
variant need to be evaluated with the requested configuration. This
has the side-effect that the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS does not need to
be additionally evaluated with no configuration, so the callers can
be cleaned up a bit too.
In some languages the compiler may need to know the path of the final
target file for which an object is being compiled. Honor the <TARGET>
placeholder for compilation rules to support such cases.
Note that this cannot work with OBJECT library targets because the final
target path is not known during compilation (there can even be more than
one final target).

The commit d2536579 (Automoc: fix regression #13667, broken build in
phonon, 2012-11-19) changed Automoc to try to re-add the Qt header dir
if it was stripped out as an implicit include from the moc command
line. When invoking a compiler, those directories are stripped out
because they are built-in, but for moc, there are no built-in directories.
The follow-up commit acc22400 (Automoc: get include dirs without
stripping implicit include dirs off, 2012-12-07) went further by not
removing the implicit include dirs, if they were specified specifically
by the user.
This had the remaining problem that the implicit include dirs appeared
in a different order of precedence for moc compared to the compiler.
Resolve that by stripping out the include dirs, where specified for
the moc command line to, and then appending them at the end. Note that
the order of the appended implicit include directories is the order
they are specified in the CMAKE_CXX_IMPLICIT_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, not
the order specified by the user.

If there is a Qt 5.0.3 release, it may or may not contain the patch
that fixes this issue.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.releasing/882
Just use the workaround until 5.1.0 which certainly will contain the
fix. Don't use the workaround before Qt 5.0.0.
We can't find both preprocessing expressions at once, because then
the BUILD_INTERFACE will always be favored if both are present, even
if INSTALL_INTERFACE appears first.
This was affecting the behavior of install(EXPORT) because the
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES contained entries like
/foo/include;$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:/bar/include>
As the INSTALL_INTERFACE always evaluates to '0', it always needs
to be preprocessed properly.

Commit 79568f95 (automoc: Add source file to target early to set the

to the target, which allows the link language to be determined.
However, this bypassed the check for the availability of Qt itself.
At build-time the automoc file could not be generated because the moc
tool was not available to create it.
The solution is to only add the automoc file to the target if Qt is
found.

If the absolute install(EXPORT) destination for the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
used during configuration is under (/usr)?/lib(64)? then assume the
current build is for a system package installation instead of a
relocatable distribution. Generate an absolute path for _IMPORT_PREFIX
in the target exports file instead of generating code to compute the
value relative to the file location. This is necessary for
distributions implementing a move to /usr such as:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:usrlib
"All files in the /lib directory have been moved to /usr/lib and now
/lib is a symlink to usr/lib."
The relative path computation is not reliable because the targets file
could be installed through cross-prefix a symlink and loaded without it
or vice versa.
A similar change was made for package configuration file generation by
commit d4774140 (configure_package_config_file: force absolute paths for

Commit a1c4905f (Use the link information as a source of compile
definitions and includes., 2013-02-12) introduced the use of link
information as the source of target properties via the TARGET_PROPERTY
generator expression. This generator expression has a strict
interpretation of a valid target name and emits a fatal error for
invalid names.
Ensure that only targets with names valid for use with TARGET_PROPERTY
or targets which are determined by generator expressions are processed
by it. This means that at worst, invalid target names do not participate
in the transitive evaluation of properties, but the validation
generator expression can be extended where needed to resolve that.

As of commit 1da75022 (Don't include generator expressions in
old-style link handling., 2012-12-23), such entries are not
included in the LinkLibraries member. Generator expressions in
LinkLibraries are not processed anyway, so port to the new way
of getting link information.
In the case of input like
foo$<1:bar>
the preGenex should be 'foo'. In that case, the search for a ';'
will not find one, and there is no preceding input to process as a
non-genex list.
Previously, the result of 'splitting' such a string would instead
be a vector containing the same string two times.

This is similar in spirit to commit e48d8420 (Cache context-independent
includes on evaluation., 2013-02-03), but it is needed since commit
a1c4905f (Use the link information as a source of compile definitions
and includes., 2013-02-12), which changed how includes and defines
are determined. As they are now determined through the link interface,
we need to cache the result of evaluating them through that.
In the case of the includes, the result was already being cached
and then immediately disposed. Store the result as a member variable
instead to make use of the caching.
We should also check whether the INTERFACE_ variant of a property
is being read, and in the case of the compile definitions, we should
test the _<CONFIG> suffixed variants. That is already available
through the use of the methods.
This way, we use the ALREADY_SEEN optimization when evaluating
the includes of a target in 'external' generator expressions, ie, those
used in a add_custom_command invokation, as opposed to evaluating the
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of a target itself via GetIncludeDirectories.
This means that we can use expressions of the form
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>
to get a list of the interface include directories of foo, including
those coming from dependencies.
We can't have a test of a target which has a single include directory in
its INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES because the shell on the MSYS platforms transforms
a single include directory to include a prefix, which is not what the test
expects. We test a target with two directories instead as a means to
test a target with no link dependencies.
Before this patch, the following is reported falsely as a self-reference:
target_link_libraries(empty2 LINK_PUBLIC empty3)
target_link_libraries(empty3 LINK_PUBLIC empty2)
add_custom_target(...
-DINCLUDES=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:empty2,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>
)
The reason is that the existing code assumed that all reading of
include directories would be done through cmTarget::GetIncludeDirectories()
and would therefore be initialized with a DagChecker. That is not the case
if reading the property with an 'external' generator expression.
There is a test for this since commit 8e756d2b (Tolerate cycles in
shared library link interfaces (#12647), 2012-01-12), so make sure
it continues to pass, even as we require no self-references in new
INTERFACE_ property generator expressions.
In commit bed6c388 (VS,Xcode: Remove unused CMAKE_GENERATOR_* variables,
2013-02-19) we removed this variable among others from the VS generator
claiming they were all not used. In fact the Fortran compiler detection
module CMakeDetermineFortranCompiler.cmake uses CMAKE_GENERATOR_FC even
for the Visual Studio IDE generators because it does not use the full
IDE compiler id detection like the C and C++ language files do.
Imported targets are re-exported so that they can be used by the
try_compile generated code with target_link_libraries.
This makes the use of the cmake_expand_imported_targets macro
obsolete. The macro is not able to expand the generator expressions
which may appear in the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES content.
Instead it just sees them as 'not a target'.
Previously, GetIncludeDirectories was called before calling
target->AddSourceFile(mocCppSource). Since commit a1c4905f (Use the
link information as a source of compile definitions and
includes., 2013-02-12), the include directories are determined by
the link information.
Valid link information requires that the linker language can be
determined, which depends on the source files languages and the
dependent targets languages. In the case of the no_link_languages
target in the unit test, there are no dependencies and the additional
source file no_link_languages_automoc.cpp is added to the target
at generate-time. That file can be used to determine the linker
language, but it must be added to the target before calling
GetIncludeDirectories.
Instead of generating a whole bunch of repeated if-statements
now a foreach()-loop is generated in the targets-file.
Also now a comment is inserted in the generated file if no
targets from other export sets are used, so if somebody looks
at the file he can see whether the information about missing
imported targets has been generated or not.

SublimeClang is a optional plugin to SublimeText and I felt it

Since commit e015df7d (...delete CMakeFiles directory when cache is
deleted, 2006-02-20) we deleted the files in the CMakeFiles directory
when deleting CMakeCache.txt in order to reset the build tree to a fresh
state. This allowed commit fd33bf93 (fix for bug 6102, allow users to
change the compiler, 2007-12-13) to delete CMakeCache.txt when the user
changes the compiler and CMakeFiles/CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake and other
platform information files would go with it to allow a fresh start.
Then commit 7195aca5 (Make platform information files specific to the
CMake version, 2012-08-24) moved the platform information files to a
subdirectory e.g. CMakeFiles/<version>/CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake where
<version> is the current CMake version. This causes the compiler change
logic to fail to remove all old compiler information. Then on the next
configuration CMake<lang>Compiler.cmake would set CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILER
back to the old value and re-trigger the compiler change logic. This
causes an infinite loop of cache deletion and compiler reset.
Fix this simply by teaching cmCacheManager::DeleteCache to remove the
entire CMakeFiles directory recursively whenever it removes an existing
CMakeCache.txt. This fully resets the build tree to configure with a
fresh compiler.

The GNU compiler front-ends on AIX invoke the linker with flags of the
form "-L/path/to/gnu/runtime/lib" to tell ld where to find the language
runtime libraries. They depend on the default libpath behavior
documented in "man ld" to add the -L paths also to the runtime libpath
so the dynamic loader can find the language runtime libraries. This
differs from platforms whose linkers have distinct -rpath flags that
non-system compilers can use to tell the dynamic loader where to find
their language runtime libraries.
Since commit 96fd5909 (Implement linking with paths to library files,
2008-01-22) CMake always passes "-Wl,-blibpath:" followed by any
project-defined RPATH plus "/usr/lib:/lib" in order to explicitly set
the runtime libpath and avoid getting all the project -L paths in the
runtime libpath. The explicit libpath prevents the GNU compiler runtime
library -L paths from being placed in the libpath and then the dynamic
loader fails to find the language runtime libraries.
CMake already detects the implicit link directories for each language
since commit 07ea19ad (Implicit link info for C, CXX, and Fortran,
2009-07-23). Add the implicit link directories to the explicit runtime
libpath for GNU compilers on AIX to fix this use case.
This reverts commit 2c3654c3de.
The removal of some tests added in commit 77cecb77 (Add includes and compile
definitions with target_link_libraries., 2012-11-05) are also squashed
into this commit.
This is a partial revert of commit 77cecb77 (Add includes and compile
definitions with target_link_libraries., 2012-11-05).
As the interface includes and defines are now determined by the link
closure, there is no need to populate the corresponding properties
explicitly.
After evaluating the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, of a target in a
generator expression, also read the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of
its link interface dependencies.
That means that code such as this will result in the 'user' target
using /bar/include and /foo/include:
add_library(foo ...)
target_include_directories(foo INTERFACE /foo/include)
add_library(bar ...)
target_include_directories(bar INTERFACE /bar/include)
target_link_libraries(bar LINK_PUBLIC foo)
add_executable(user ...)
target_include_directories(user PRIVATE
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:bar,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
Also process the interface include directories from direct link
dependencies for in-build targets.
The situation is similar for the INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS. The
include directories related code is currently more complex because
we also need to store a backtrace at configure-time for the purpose
of debugging includes. The compile definitions related code will use
the same pattern in the future.
This is not a change in behavior, as existing code has the same effect,
but that existing code will be removed in follow-up commits.
Since commit 34c882a9 (Allow VS 7 project Rebuild and Solution Rebuild to
work, 2007-11-10) we use a "CMakeFiles/generated.stamp" and some
associated files in the build tree to avoid re-running CMake when the
inputs have not changed but VS has cleaned the outputs it knows about.
When we do not really need to re-run we restore the generated.stamp file.
The non-re-run case can happen in multiple targets in parallel in VS >= 10
so we must restore the file atomically to avoid races. Write the stamp
file to a random temporary name and then atomically rename it to the real
stamp file.

Since commit fd33bf93 (fix for bug 6102, allow users to change the
compiler, 2007-12-13) we keep an internal ;-list of language compiler
variable and value pairs. Preserve empty values on expansion to ensure
that the key/value pairing remains consistent.
This is needed in the case that Automoc is used, as that calls
GetIncludeDirectories, which may cache the resulting include dirs
too early in the generate step.
Also, because the automoc step is so early, we can't cache the
include directories at that point. At that point the build interface
of all dependencies are not populated yet, so we'd be caching the
includes before appending the build interface. Only start caching
when we're definitely generating the buildsystem. At that point, the
includes should be stable.
We still need to invoke AppendBuildInterfaceIncludes
in the GlobalGenerator because the build interface includes affect
mostly the dependencies of targets (such as the automoc targets),
rather than the targets themselves, so the build interface needs
to be appended for all targets before generation is done.
The ctest_configure command already reads the CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR
variable to get the value for the cmake -G option. Read new variable
CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET for -T.
The "ctest --build-and-test" mode already has "--build-generator" to
specify the -G option to CMake. Add a "--build-generator-toolset" option
to specify the -T value.
Implement generator toolset selection (cmake -T) for VS >= 10 by setting
the PlatformToolset. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test case to
verify CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET when the generator supports -T.
Since commit 485a940e (VS: Simplify MSVC version reporting, 2012-08-23)
all MSVC version information is detected during the compiler id step
from the actual compiler invoked by generated build systems rather than
hard-coded in VS generators. Therefore we can set the PlatformToolset
in VS >= 10 project files and support toolsets from other VS versions.
Reject the option by default. It will be implemented on a per-generator
basis. Pass the setting into try_compile project generation. Add cache
entry CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.
Add a RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test to cover basic "-T" option cases.
Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET is empty without -T, that -T is
rejected when the generator doesn't support it, and that two -T options
are always rejected.
This tracking was added during the development of commit 042ecf04
(Add API to calculate link-interface-dependent bool properties
or error., 2013-01-06), but was never used.
It was not necessary to use the content because what is really
useful in that logic is to determine if a property has been implied
to be null by appearing in a LINK_LIBRARIES genex.
I think the motivating usecase for developing the feature of
keeping track of the targets relevant to a property was that I
thought it would make it possible to allow requiring granular
compatibility of interface properties only for targets which
depended on the interface property. Eg:
add_library(foo ...)
add_library(bar ...)
add_executable(user ...)
# Read the INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE from bar, but not
# from foo:
target_link_libraries(user foo $<$<TARGET_PROPERTY:POSTITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE>:bar>)
This obviously doesn't make sense. We require that INTERFACE
properties are consistent across all linked targets instead.
We need to make sure expressions which evaluate TARGET_PROPERTY:TYPE
multiple times for example get the correct result each time, and
not an empty string instead.
As INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS are now possible, we can have
situations like this:
add_library(foo ...)
add_library(bar ...)
target_link_libraries(foo bar)
target_compile_definitions(bar INTERFACE SOME_DEF)
The INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS of bar determine how foo should be
compiled, and if they change, foo should be rebuilt.
Additionally, as of commit d1446ca7 (Append the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
from the Makefile to all targets., 2012-09-17), we don't need to
read definitions from the makefile if we read them from the target,
so also de-duplicate the cached info.
The DependInfo for INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES is already handled
correctly.
Remove the old "nocwd" behavior that attempts to provide the "--help"

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property., 2012-09-18), it is possible to use
generator expressions with the include_directories command.
As that command can also have a SYSTEM argument, ensure that the
result of using that argument with generator expressions gives a
sane result.

The commit 18a3195a ('Keep track of INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES as a vector
of structs.', 2012-11-19) moved the handling of includes from
cmGeneratorTarget to cmTarget, but in the process introduced this
bug.
link.exe has problems with very very long lines in rsp files too.
Use $in_newline instead of $in variable for rspcontent which
separates the arguments with a newline instead of a simple space
and was specially made for this purpose.
Since commit d46d8df0 (Re-implemented cmGeneratedFileStream to look like a
real stream and replace the destination file atomically, 2004-11-03) our
RenameFile implementation tries to deal with MoveFile not replacing
read-only files. In order to avoid the Get/SetFileAttributes pair we used
stat to test for existence of the destination file. This has a race in
which the destination could be created between the test for existence and
the MoveFile call.
Remove the stat call and use GetFileAttributes to detect whether the file
exists. This shortens the race but does not eliminate it. Use a loop to
try multiple times in case we lose the race. While at it, drop Win9x
support and always use MoveFileEx.
Generator expressions whose output depends on the configuration
now record that fact. The GetIncludeDirectories method can use
that result to cache the include directories for later calls.
GetIncludeDirectories is called multiple times for a target
for each configuration, so this should restore performance for
multi-config generators.
While porting boost to use these features, the generation step took
too long (several minutes before I stopped it). The reason was that
the boost libraries form a large interdependent mesh. The libraries
list their dependencies in their INTERFACE such as:
$<LINKED:boost::core>;$<LINKED:boost::config>;$<LINKED:boost::mpl>
As boost::core already depends on the boost::config libraries, that
expression has no impact on the end-content, as it is removed after
the generation step. There is no DAG issue though, so the generator
expression evaluation would fully evaluate them. In the case of the
config library, it also depends on the core library, so all depends
are followed through that again, despite the fact that they've just
been evaluated. After this patch, the evaluation skips libraries if
they have already been seen via depends or directly in the content.
This patch keeps track of targets whose INTERFACE has been consumed
already. The INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS properties
are whitelisted because repeated content will be stripped out later
during generation. For other properties now and in the future, that
may not be the case.
This establishes that linking is used to propagate usage-requirements
between targets in CMake code. The use of the target_link_libraries
command as the API for this is chosen because introducing a new command
would introduce confusion due to multiple commands which differ only in
a subtle way.
This is both a short form of using a TARGET_DEFINED expression
together with a TARGET_PROPERTY definition, and a way to strip
non-target content from interface properties when exporting.
Projects set interface requirements upstream, and existing
downstreams use of target_link_libraries will consume those interfaces.
This can create a backward compatibility concern as the result may
be changing the order of include directories of downstreams, or another
side-effect of using the INTERFACE properties.
Provide a way for them to emulate the behavior of a version-based
policy in the config file.
Both commit 8a37ebec (Add the target_include_directories command,
2013-01-01) and commit fc61a7a7 (Add the target_compile_definitions
command, 2013-01-08) added command implementations deriving from the new
cmTargetPropCommandBase class. Fix cmTypeMacro declarations of the
inheritance relationship.
