Define a new 'CMAKE_CONFIGURE_DEPENDS' directory property that projects
can use to specify input files to the CMake configuration process.
Extend the RunCMake.Configure test to verify that the build system
re-runs CMake when this input changes.
Most callers already have a std::string, on which they called c_str() to pass it
into these methods, which internally converted it back to std::string. Pass a
std::string directly to these methods now, avoiding all these conversions.
Those methods that only pass in a const char* will get the conversion to
std::string now only once.
The include_directories() and add_compile_options() commands
should not append to the corresponding target property for IMPORTED
targets. This is already the case for add_definitions().
As an INTERFACE_LIBRARY has no direct link dependencies, we can
short-circuit in cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator and
in cmGlobalGenerator::CheckLocalGenerators.
As they do not generate any output directly, any generate- or install-
related code acn also be short-circuited. Many of the local generators
already do this.
Because only INTERFACE related properties make sense on INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets, avoid setting other properties, for example via defaults.
Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources.
Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and
cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this
information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods.
Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs.
Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the
executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself,
leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the
location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source
tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the
source tree.
Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build
tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the
install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set
of executables are available in one directory.
9c87d9c Add automatic rcc invocation for Qt.
84218e1 Add automatic uic invocation for Qt.

...
The source files are already processed by cmQtAutomoc to look for
moc includes, so extend that to also look for ui_ includes and
find corresponding .ui files to process.
This replaces the need to invoke qt4_wrap_ui().
As the ui files are not likely to be part of the SOURCES of the
target, store the options associated with them separately in the
cmMakefile for querying during the autogen run.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
Teach the CMake language parser to recognize Lua-style "long bracket"
arguments. These start with two '[' separated by zero or more '='
characters e.g. "[[" or "[=[" or "[==[". They end with two ']'
separated by the same number of '=' as the opening bracket. There is no
nesting of brackets of the same level (number of '='). No escapes,
variable expansion, or other processing is performed on the content
between such brackets so they always represent exactly one argument.
Also teach CMake to parse and ignore "long comment" syntax. A long
comment starts with "#" immediately followed by an opening long bracket.
It ends at the matching close long bracket.
Teach the RunCMake.Syntax test to cover long bracket and long comment
cases.
Drop all DefineProperty calls for non-chained properties. Drop the
documentation from the chained ones. The documentation for all
properties is now in Help/prop_*/*.rst files.
With our modern development workflow it is less likely a property will
be added to C++ code without documentation. This mode only existed to
support the DocTest which had very limited coverage of the properties
anyway.
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.
In buggy code like
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/out.h
MAIN_DEPENDENCY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/out.h.in
...)
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/out.h
...)
that has more than one rule to generate the same output CMake has always
used the first rule. However, since commit 2268c41a (Optimize custom
command full-path dependency lookup, 2013-08-06) we update the map from
output to cmSourceFile for every rule generating an output, effectively
keeping the last command instead of the first.
Fix this regression by checking for each map update if the output
already has an entry. If so, keep only the original entry. The VS 8
generator triggers this with a special case for generate.stamp rules
that differ between ZERO_CHECK and normal targets, so do not warn for
now. Leave a TODO comment for warning in the future.
Since commit ad502502 (cmMakefile: Track configured files so we can
regenerate them, 2013-06-18) cmMakefile::ConfigureFile records the
configured file as an output file generated by CMake. The intention is
that for make and ninja we can re-run CMake when one of the files it
generates goes missing. However, files configured temporarily in
CMakeTmp directories by Check* modules do not live past the CMake
invocation.
We have to also track input files to the configure command. In theory
the input to a configure command could it self be a file that is going
to be deleted later (output from a custom command or configure_file).

Teach cmMakefile::FinalPass to stop tracking files that don't
exist after we are finished generation.

For now "Quoted" and "Unquoted" remain the only types.
In the common case of custom command dependencies specified via full
path optimize the implementation of GetSourceFileWithOutput using a
(hash) map. This is significantly faster than the existing linear
search. In the non-full-path case fall back to the existing linear
suffix search.
* The ALIAS name must match a validity regex.
* Executables and libraries may be aliased.
* An ALIAS acts immutable. It can not be used as the lhs
of target_link_libraries or other commands.
* An ALIAS can be used with add_custom_command, add_custom_target,
and add_test in the same way regular targets can.
* The target of an ALIAS can be retrieved with the ALIASED_TARGET
target property.
* An ALIAS does not appear in the generated buildsystem. It
is kept separate from cmMakefile::Targets for that reason.
* A target may have multiple aliases.
* An ALIAS target may not itself have an alias.
* An IMPORTED target may not have an alias.
* An ALIAS may not be exported or imported.

Teach cmMakefile::ConfigureFile to skip tracking files with "CMakeTmp"
in their path, just like cmCoreTryCompile::TryCompileCode does to
avoid adding dependencies on temporary source files. In the future
we will need a more general filter to avoid recording as CMake
outputs any files that do not exist at the end of generation.
It accepted an optional argument to test for equality, but no way
to get the linker language of a particular target.
TARGET_PROPERTY provides this flexibility and STREQUAL provides
the necessary API for equality test.

property of another target.

Use constructs similar to those for COMPILE_OPTIONS. This is a little
different because there is a command to remove_definitions(), so
we can't populate the equivalent target property until generate-time
in cmGlobalGenerator.
Entries from the cmMakefile are processed and maintained similarly
to other include directories. The include_directories(SYSTEM)
signature affects all following targets, and all prior targets
in the same makefile.
Currently when a configured file is removed from the build directory,
running the build command will not regenerate the file. Now detect
this and will rerun cmake properly when a user issues the build
command.
