Create target property WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS to automatically
generate a module definition file from MS-compatible .obj files and give
it to the linker in order to export all symbols from the .dll part of a
SHARED library.
Remove the general infrastructure for these additional platform
definitions and hard-code the only two special cases that used
it. They are only for historical reasons so no new such cases
should be added.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Drop the "Modules/CMakeVS*FindMake.cmake" files. Override the
cmGlobalGenerator::FindMakeProgram method for VS generators to use their
internal APIs to locate the build tool. Set the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM as a
normal variable for use by project code, but do not cache it. This will
allow CMake and CTest to select the proper tool at build time.
This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be
used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce
that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used
with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties
matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for
this target type.
The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator
expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target,
but with the additional restriction that it may not contain
double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED
or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13.
An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library.
At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the
buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may
be added as a feature in a later commit.
The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja
generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes
related to that.
Since we do not need the information about the target architecture
we can use the PlatformName only to specify the this information.
This also removes setting of the MSVC_*_ARCHITECTURE_ID variable
which is not required, because this variable gets set by the
compiler detection code in CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_CHECK().
Teach Windows-cl.cmake to use CMAKE_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_VERSION to set the
"MSVC##" and MSVC_VERSION variables. It no longer needs the IDE generator
to dictate the version or to detect the version by running the
command-line tool for NMake and Ninja generators. Drop configuration of
CMakeCPlatform.cmake and CMakeCXXPlatform.cmake from Windows-cl.cmake.in
because all the results it saved are now cheap to compute every time.
Since commit 328c0f65 (Simplify cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator source
classification, 2012-03-19) the VS 10 generator uses the
cmGeneratorTarget source classification instead of directly getting the
list of source files from the target. This accidentally dropped the
CMakeLists.txt files from generated projects because they are added too
late for cmGeneratorTarget.
All generator-specific source files must be added to targets prior to
cmGeneratorTarget construction. Refactor addition of the CMakeLists.txt
files with CMake re-run custom commands to take place before normal
generation begins, and therefore early enough to be included in the
cmGeneratorTarget classification.
This library type can compile sources to object files but does not link
or archive them. It will be useful to reference from executable and
normal library targets for direct inclusion of object files in them.
Diagnose and reject the following as errors:
* An OBJECT library may not be referenced in target_link_libraries.
* An OBJECT library may contain only compiling sources and supporting
headers and custom commands. Other source types that are not normally
ignored are not allowed.
* An OBJECT library may not have PRE_BUILD, PRE_LINK, or POST_BUILD
commands.
* An OBJECT library may not be installed, exported, or imported.
Some of these cases may be supported in the future but are not for now.
Teach the VS generator that OBJECT_LIBRARY targets are "linkable" just
like STATIC_LIBRARY targets for the LinkLibraryDependencies behavior.
Add cmGeneratorTarget::ObjectDirectory member to hold the value. In
ComputeTargetObjects set the value to the full path to the target object
directory including any necessary placeholder for the configuration
name.
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.
VS 7.1 and below have 2 behaviors that make the cmComputeTargetDepends
result difficult to use for solution-level dependencies. Update the
method cmGlobalVisualStudioGenerator::ComputeTargetDepends to document
the behaviors and work around them. Commit 1a0c166a (Store direct
dependencies in solutions for VS >= 8, 2010-08-20) isolated VS >= 8 from
this computation so those versions should be unaffected.
This change removes the last use of cmTarget::GetLinkLibraries for
purposes other than backward compatibility with legacy interfaces
(export_library_dependencies, VS 6 custom .dsp templates). Now the
cmComputeTargetDepends results are used for all generators so global
target dependency computation is fully centralized.
This work was started from a patch by Thomas Schiffer.
Thanks, Thomas!
See the newly added documentation of the FOLDER target
property for details.
Also added global properties, USE_FOLDERS and
PREDEFINED_TARGETS_FOLDER. See new docs here, too.
By default, the FOLDER target property is used to organize
targets into folders in IDEs that have support for such
organization.
This commit adds "solution folder" support to the Visual
Studio generators. Currently works with versions 7 through
10.
Also, use the new FOLDER property in the ExternalProject
test and in the CMake project itself.
Commit 438a7e2f (Fix utility dependencies for static libraries in VS
generators, 2007-04-04) implemented utility-only dependencies between
linkable targets by introducing an intermediate non-linkable target.
We convert a dependency of the form
foo -> bar
to the form
foo -> bar_UTILITY -> bar
to prevent foo from including bar on its link line. Previously we added
the extra "_UTILITY" targets explicitly among the project targets before
dependency analysis was performed. Now we generate them separately at
the last moment so that cmGlobalGenerator need not be aware of them.
Compute VS target dependencies in cmGlobalVisualStudioGenerator when the
main global dependency analysis is done. Use these results in each of
the VS generators instead of duplicating the analysis.
In VS 6, 7, and 7.1 solutions we implement
add_dependencies(myexe mylib) # depend without linking
by creating an intermediate mylib_UTILITY target with dependencies
myexe -> mylib_UTILITY -> mylib
to avoid linking myexe to mylib. Previously these extra targets were
only added to the solution files in an ancestor directory of that
defining mylib. For example, in the project:
# CMakeLists.txt
project(TOP)
add_subdirectory(A)
add_subdirectory(b)
# A/CMakeLists.txt
add_library(mylib ...)
# B/CMakeLists.txt
project(B)
add_executable(myexe ...)
add_dependencies(myexe mylib)
the solution for TOP would have mylib_UTILITY but the solution for B
would not even though it pulls in mylib through the dependency. This
commit fixes solutions generated in other directories so that any
solution that has mylib will get mylib_UTILITY also.
See issue #9568.
