Treat OBJECT libraries as STATIC libraries. The VS project file format
provides no way to avoid running the librarian so hide the resulting
.lib away next to the object files as it should never be referenced.
The object files will be left behind for reference by other targets
later.
Implement cmGlobalGenerator::ComputeTargetObjects in the VS generator
to pre-compute all the object file names. Use the results during
generation instead of re-computing it later.

Simplify cmLocalVisualStudioGenerator::ComputeObjectNameRequirements to
loop over the original vector of source files instead of recursively
traversing source groups just to find the same files. Drop from
cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::ComputeObjectNames temporary source
group calculation now that it is not needed for computing object names.
Eliminate callers of cmMakefile::GetIncludeDirectories.
All callers of GetIncludeDirectories should go through the local generator
object.
Only the local generator calls cmTarget::GetIncludeDirectories directly.
For Visual Studio using the Preprocessor Define _SBCS. This behavior
is similar to the way that _UNICODE and _MBCS work already.
Added tests to confirm this behavior.
An implementation ;-separated list parsing was added by commit a1f976ce
(VS: Add support for three new project properties, 2011-11-23) and again
by commit 9e01aefd (VS: Add support for WinRT project properties,
2012-02-03). Refactor both instances to use ExpandListArgument.
VS_WINRT_EXTENSIONS: Boolean property that correspond to "Enable
Tailored Features" in Visual Studio 11 IDE.
VS_WINRT_REFERENCES: Semicolon-delimited list of *.winmd references to
add to the project, which creates a new <ItemGroup>.
VS_GLOBAL_PROJECT_TYPES: A string containing UUIDs to embed in the
Visual Studio project file under <ProjectTypes>.
VS_GLOBAL_KEYWORD: Allows specification of a keyword like "ManagedCProj"
instead of the default "Win32Proj", under <Keyword>
VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES: Semicolon-delimited list of .NET references to add
to the project, which creates a new <ItemGroup>.

Move the Version member to the top cmLocalVisualStudioGenerator class
and set it consistently for instances created by all the global
generator versions. Use an enumeration type with values scaled by a
factor of 10 so we can handle VS 7.1 without out-of-order numbers.
VS 7.1 support for SuppressStartupBanner was broken by commit 25116a3c
(Fix CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE for VS10 vcxproj files, 2011-10-11) because
it assumed comparison of VS version numbers works. Now it does.
Use expected values for the UseOfMfc xml element in
VS 10 .vcxproj files.
CMAKE_MFC_FLAG=1 maps to "Static"
CMAKE_MFC_FLAG=2 maps to "Dynamic"
all other values map to "false"
Thanks to Randy Schott and McBen for their patches which
served as inspiration and motivation for getting this done.

For custom commands in VS2010 Fortran projects the INTDIR variable
is different than in the rest of the solution because Intel
fortran still uses the old VS project files even in VS2010. So,
we replace $(Configuration) directly in the project files. I have also
added a FortranOnly test that tests this feature and is run on any
generator that has Fortran abilities.
8555c2b Look for VCExpress as a possible build tool as well as devenv.
ed0075b Use relative paths for custom command inputs.
38368d5 Revert "With very long file names, VS 2010 was unable to compile files."
8cd66dc Use devenv instead of msbuild for vs2010.
For source files we use full paths. This allows for longer directory
names with VS2010. However, the use of full paths causes the GUI
to not display the custom commands.
In cmMakefile.cxx GetCMakeCFGInitDirectory is replaced with
GetCMakeFilesDirectory for .rule files. In some cases with
external projects, that directory will not exist. With vs10
the .rule files must exist or the rule will run with every build.
This fix creates the path that the .rule file is in. In addition,
it is now a CMake error if the .rule file can not be created.
For VS2010 if a precompiled .obj file was the output of a custom commad,
it was used as part of the build. If it was not, then VS did not
use it as part of the build. This commit updates the test to check
for this issue, and fixes the problem. This fixes bugs #0011891 and
At some point in the past VS 2010 failed some tests with custom commands when
relative paths were not used. It seems that those problems have been fixed.
However, the relative paths apparently are appended to the current working
directoy before vs accesses the file. So, with a long path, relative paths
cause it to create a combined path that is too long.
Thanks to "McBen <viertelvor12@gmx.net>" for the patch.

we have a push check for first and last name, and do not

To get rc defines to work in the VS10 IDE requires \" when
constructing PreprocessorDefinitions strings. This is different
than defines for cl.
Also, per-file rc defines were not being generated. Fix that, too.
WriteCLSources should skip source files with "obj" extensions
since WriteObjSources has already written them into the vcxproj
file. Likewise, WriteGroupSources should skip source files with
"obj" extensions to avoid receiving "item ... already exists under
the filter" project-load-time error messages from Visual Studio.

13caaa3 VS10: Finish Midl support (#11461)
This commit addresses all of the following:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8165http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10687http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11311http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11461
With this commit, the midl support for VS10 is as
complete as midl support ever was for VS9 and earlier.
The VSMidl test should run on all Visual Studio
generator based dashboards.
CMake no longer sends C++ compiler /D flag values
to the midl compiler in Visual Studio generated
projects. I think if we want to add that in the
future, we should add a way to pass midl compiler
specific flags and perhaps an optional way to add
in the C++ definitions, too. For now, not sending
them along gets past the immediate problem wherein
idl files in a CMake VS generated project just didn't
work at all.
The VSMidl test added in this commit was inspired by
the patch attached to 8165.
The test had to be modified such that it will run in
a directory whose name contains no spaces. There is an
existing bug filed against VS10's midl asking Microsoft
to fix that problem. But for now, the test added in this
commit works by copying the source directory to a location
that avoids spaces in the directory names.

8c7b19d Only run resource test for MSVC compilers.
753e208 Disable incremental testing for this test, it crashes vs9 linker.
16e7d4b Add flags to resource builds on vs 2010 with a test.
In vs2010 a bad project file could be generated if a .c or .cxx file
was marked with HEADER_FILE_ONLY, if it was in a library that contained
both c and c++ code. This fixes the error in the code, and adds a test
for this case.
The Express Edition does not come with 64-bit tools, but one can install
the "Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1" to get them. Detect this case and
check for the SDK. If found, set PlatformToolset to use the SDK tools.
Otherwise, fail with a concise and informative error.
VS10 uses MSBuild underneath. The <Message></Message> CDATA are just
appended to "echo" and executed as a single command. Encode the message
such that it can be passed to echo. Convert newlines to tabs since they
cannot be printed this way.
In targets with no non-header files the linker language cannot be
determined. Since the target project file cannot be generated at all in
this case, give up as soon as it is detected. Otherwise the generation
code may try to run with uninitialized information.
The original implementation of this generator accidentally used
"$(Configuration)/" for source-specific object file names. Correct it
to use "$(IntDir)/" just like the generators for all previous VS
versions. The target-wide output directory is "$(IntDir)/" already.
VS2010 uses IntDir as the location for writing log files for
what happens during custom build steps. With no IntDir settings,
all ExternalProject usage within the same CMakeLists.txt file
would result in multiple utility targets all trying to use the
same custom build log files.
With parallel builds, they would try to use them simultaneously
and result in file access errors, preventing the builds from
completing successfully.
Now each utility target has its own IntDir setting, and so, its
own custom build rule log files.
