Extend the write_compiler_detection_header interface to allow
specifying a location for supplementary files, and getting the
list of resulting files as a variable.
Re-run if the input file changes or if the output file is removed.
This only works with the Makefile generators currently. The limitation
of the Ninja generator is tracked as issue #15256. The IDE
generators will need larger refactoring as they currently rely on
being able to determine the depends and output files at the start of
generate-time, which is too early for the file(GENERATE) case.
A common idiom in CMake-based build systems is to have custom commands
that generate files not listed explicitly as outputs so that these
files do not have to be newer than the inputs. The file modification
times of such "byproducts" are updated only when their content changes.
Then other build rules can depend on the byproducts explicitly so that
their dependents rebuild when the content of the original byproducts
really does change.
This "undeclared byproduct" approach is necessary for Makefile, VS, and
Xcode build tools because if a byproduct were listed as an output of a
rule then the rule would always rerun when the input is newer than the
byproduct but the byproduct may never be updated.
Ninja solves this problem by offering a 'restat' feature to check
whether an output was really modified after running a rule and tracking
the fact that it is up to date separately from its timestamp. However,
Ninja also stats all dependencies up front and will only restat files
that are listed as outputs of rules with the 'restat' option enabled.
Therefore an undeclared byproduct that does not exist at the start of
the build will be considered missing and the build will fail even if
other dependencies would cause the byproduct to be available before its
dependents build.
CMake works around this limitation by adding 'phony' build rules for
custom command dependencies in the build tree that do not have any
explicit specification of what produces them. This is not optimal
because it prevents Ninja from reporting an error when an input to a
rule really is missing. A better approach is to allow projects to
explicitly specify the byproducts of their custom commands so that no
phony rules are needed for them. In order to work with the non-Ninja
generators, the byproducts must be known separately from the outputs.
Add a new "BYPRODUCTS" option to the add_custom_command and
add_custom_target commands to specify byproducts explicitly. Teach the
Ninja generator to specify byproducts as outputs of the custom commands.
In the case of POST_BUILD, PRE_LINK, and PRE_BUILD events on targets
that link, the byproducts must be specified as outputs of the link rule
that runs the commands. Activate 'restat' for such rules so that Ninja
knows it needs to check the byproducts, but not for link rules that have
no byproducts.
Teach the add_custom_command and add_custom_target commands a new
USES_TERMINAL option. Use it to tell the generator to give the command
direct access to the terminal if possible.
The evaluation files must be known before cmTargetTraceDependencies
attempts to find them, but we must actually generate the files after
cmTargetTraceDependencies, as that can add to target SOURCES. The
limitation is that the generated output name must not depend on the
SOURCES of a target if the generated file is used by that target.
Mark the output files as GENERATED so that trace dependencies does
not expect them to already exist in the filesystem.
Move the invokation of ForceLinkerLanguage in the Generate logic
to after the generated file names are known. ForceLinkerLanguage
tries to determine the sources of a target (in order to determine
an already-known language) and otherwise fails to get information
about the generated file.
Test that the output of file(GENERATE) can be used as a target source
file and that accessing the target SOURCES in the name of the output
file is an error. Accessing the TARGET_OBJECTS would be a similar
error if it was legal to use that generator expression in this
context. That is not currently possible and is a different error
condition, so test the current error output as a reminder to change
the expected output if that becomes possible in the future. Test
that generated rule files resulting from cmTargetTraceDependencies
appear in the SOURCES generated in the output file.

In the case of:
-DCACHE_VARS=-DEXTERNAL_PROJECT_CMAKE_ARG:BOOL=TRUE
the variable is parsed out as:
CACHE_VARS=-DEXTERNAL_PROJECT_CMAKE_ARG
because the parser allows '=' in the variable name. Disallow such a name
on the command line.
Given that you have a foobar that identifies itself as 1.2.3 from now on a
find_package(foobar 1.2 EXACT)
will succeed, as 1.2.3 will now be considered as being 1.2. Until now this was
only the case for version 1.2.0.
Unlike with Unix Makefiles generator modifying compiler paths was not
protected with Ninja generator. It was possible to modify them in the
cache without the expected effect on the generated solution. Also
activate corresponding tests with Ninja.

Define the 'cmake -A' option to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
without having to spell out the whole variable name. We choose
the name '-A' for "platform" because '-P' is already taken, and
in the common use case the "platform" is actually an architecture
(e.g. x64).
Teach the RunCMake test infrastructure to use -A to pass the generator
platform. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case to
verify that the -A option cannot be repeated.
For VS generator names that do not specify the platform name, read
CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM to get it.
Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case covering
use of the x64 platform when the test generator is a Visual Studio
generator whose name does not specify a platform.
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_PLATFORM and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.
Add a RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test to cover basic use cases for the
option. Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM is empty by default, and
that it is rejected when the generator does not support a user setting.
The lexer changes in commit v3.0.0-rc1~495^2 (Add Lua-style long
brackets and long comments to CMake language, 2013-08-06) accidentally
left out matching '[' as a single character in an unquoted argument.
Add a lexer rule to match it and extend the RunCMake.Syntax test to
cover this case.
After calls to ProcessSourceItemCMP0049, check for an empty return
string to detect a failure instead of trusting GetErrorOccuredFlag.
The latter could have been left from a preceding non-fatal error.
Extend the RunCMake.Configure test to cover a case that exposed this
problem.
The generator name is "Xcode", not "XCode". Fix this typo. Explicitly
exclude the SubDirSpaces test on Xcode because it does not work. Also
tell the RunCMake.File_Generate test when Xcode is not multi-config so
it can exlcude the OutputConflict case.

Fix cmTarget::GetSourceFiles to set EvaluateForBuildsystem on the
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:...,INTERFACE_SOURCES> generator expression so that
the $<TARGET_OBJECTS> generator expression is allowed within an
INTERFACE_SOURCES value.
Extend the InterfaceLibrary test to cover this case. Extend the
RunCMake.TargetObjects test to cover failure of $<TARGET_OBJECTS>
when used through $<TARGET_PROPERTY:...,INTERFACE_SOURCES> in a
non-buildsystem context.
Loosen this restriction on OBJECT libraries to allow source files of any
name to be generated by custom commands or listed for reference in IDE
projects so long as they would not affect linking of a normal library.
Update the rejection message to be more specific about the looser
restriction.
Extend the ObjectLibrary test to cover a ".cmake" file generated by a
custom command in an OBJECT library.
Use the AddInterfaceEntries helper to avoid duplication. In
TargetPropertyEntry, replace the TargetName string member with a
reference to the full cmLinkImplItem that produced the entry. This is
possible because the cmLinkImplItem is available in AddInterfaceEntries
(it was not available in GetIncludeDirectories). Having the full
cmLinkImplItem allows processIncludeDirectories to implement CMP0027 OLD
behavior without repeating the target name lookup.
Update the RunCMake.CompatibleInterface test DebugProperties case
expected output for the new order of the messages.
