Restore support for the undocumented <CONFIG>_LOCATION target property
removed by commit v3.0.0-rc1~175^2 (cmTarget: Remove support for
<CONFIG>_LOCATION property, 2013-12-30) as part of the CMP0026 OLD
behavior.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
When given a non-NULL configuration the GetLocation returned the
location for the given configuration. When given a NULL configuration
the GetLocation method returned a location with the build-system
placeholder for the configuration name. Split the latter use case out
into a separate GetLocationForBuild method and update call sites
accordingly.
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.
Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties. Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important. Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.
Add a cmTarget::CompileInfo struct to hold per-configuration information
about the compilation settings in a target. This is different than
cmTarget::OutputInfo because it applies to any targets that can compile
sources even if they do not link or archive.
Replace calls to GetLinkInformation with calls to a method to get only
the target closure, not the link languages etc. The replaced calls
are used while evaluating generator expressions only. This makes
transitive generator expression evaluation independent from
the languages of a target. In a follow-up topic, it will be possible
to make the languages depend on generator expression evaluation, via
evaluation of the SOURCES and INTERFACE_SOURCES target properties.
Because the order of entries is not the same as the final link line,
the order of debug output is different in the RunCMake.CompatibleInterface
test, because the BOOL_PROP7 target property is evaluated first. Adjust
the test to account for that new order.
For the OLD CMP0022 behavior, we need to treat the implementation
as the interface when computing the interface libraries. Make it
possible to do that without computing the link languages by adding
a new GetLinkImplementationLibraries method. Extend the existing
GetLinkImplementation method to populate the languages if the
libraries have already been computed and cached.
Change GetTransitivePropertyTargets to invoke GetLinkInterfaceLibraries
instead of GetLinkInterface. This is key, as it is a method called
by cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator.
Change the cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator to invoke
GetLinkImplementationLibraries instead of GetLinkImplementation.
When evaluating the SOURCES property, we will need to be able to access
the link libraries without accessing the link languages, as the languages
depend on the SOURCES.
Arrange the logic so that the part which deals with libraries only is
at the top. In a follow-up commit, this will be split into two methods.
Ensure that the explanatory CMP0022 comment is only present in one
location.
The callers already skip non-targets, so unify the target search.
Change supporting functions to accept a container of targets instead
of strings where possible.
In a follow-up, the list of sources will become dependent on
the config, so check for existence in cmTarget::GetSourceFiles
instead of up-front with cmGlobalGenerator::CheckTargets().
It accepts a before parameter but is never called with before=true.
compile definitions are sorted by std::set, so it wouldn't make sense
to allow user sorting.
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.
Direct users of IMPORTED targets treat INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
as SYSTEM, after commit a63fcbcb (Always consider includes from IMPORTED
targets to be SYSTEM., 2013-08-29). It was intended that transitive
use of an IMPORTED target would have the same behavior, but that
did not work. The implementation processed only direct dependencies
in cmTarget::FinalizeSystemIncludeDirectories.
Implement transitive evaluation of dependencies by traversing the
link interface of each target in the link implementation.
There is no need to allow EXCLUDE_* properties, because an
INTERFACE_LIBRARY has no direct build output.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES are relevant only to static
libraries.
VERSION is relevant only to the filename of direct build outputs,
which INTERFACE_LIBRARY does not have.
