The Ninja generator and Visual Studio generators are special-cased for the
QtAutogen feature. In order to reduce the number of custom targets, the Visual
Studio generators prefer to create custom commands instead, and in order to
create appropriate Ninja files, generated rcc files are listed as byproducts.
This requires the use of the GetConfigCommonSourceFiles API of the
cmGeneratorTarget for those generators when initializing the autogen target.
The initializer method is called from Compute() after the cmGeneratorTarget
objects are created, however the initialization of the object directory occurs
later in the InitGeneratorTargets method. That means that the resulting object
locations are computed incorrectly and cached before the object directory is
determined, so the generated buildsystem can not find the object files.
The initialization of the object directory was split from the creation of
cmGeneratorTarget instances in commit 0e0258c8 (cmGlobalGenerator: Split
creation of generator object from initialization., 2015-07-25). The motivation
for the split was to do only what is essential to do early in cases where
cmGeneratorTargets need to be created at configure-time. That is required for
the purpose of implementing policies CMP0024 and CMP0026, and for
try_compile(LINK_LIBRARIES). However, the split was not really necessary.
Compute the object directory in the cmGeneratorTarget constructor instead.
The QtAutogen unit test already tests the use of TARGET_OBJECTS with AUTOMOC,
and that test already passes on Ninja. The reason it already passes is that
the QtAutogen target also uses the AUTORCC feature, and specifies several qrc
files in its SOURCES. Later in the Compute algorithm (after the
InitGeneratorTargets call), the rcc files are determined and target->AddSource
is called. The AddSource call clears the previously mentioned cache of source
files, causing it to be regenerated when next queried, this time taking account
of the object directory.
Extend the test suite with a new target which does not make use of AUTORCC with
qrc files so that the test added alone would break without the fix in this
commit.
Use it instead of the similar cmMakefile API. It is necessary to
know that the Configure step is completely done, not just that one
particular cmMakefile is finished configuring.
Prior to commit 611220f7 (cmTarget: Use reliable test for CMP0024 and CMP0026
OLD., 2015-07-25), this was determined by checking whether cmGeneratorTargets
exist yet, which happens after the Configure step.
Classify .manifest sources separately, add dependencies on them, and
pass them to the MS manifest tool to merge with linker-generated
manifest files.

The storage of a pointer means that the ownership and lifetime are
externally determined, which is harder to reason about. It also imposes
API constraints, requiring APIs to return references to backtraces.
This pointer storage was introduced in commit v3.1.0-rc1~425^2~3 (genex:
remove the need for backtraces, 2014-05-23). As backtraces are now cheap
to copy around, just do that instead.
XAML files are by default of type Page in the vcxproj and can be

latter paths were not normalized too. Normalize them and add a test

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.
Teach cmGeneratorTarget to classify .pfx files as package

Teach cmGeneratorTarget to extract .appxmanifest sources separately.
Teach cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator to write them with the
AppxManifest tool in .vcxproj files. This will allow us to detect
whether the project provides an application manfiest explicitly.
Since commit v3.0.0-rc1~174^2~1 (cmTarget: Fix system include annotation
propagation, 2014-01-01) the cmGeneratorTarget::IsSystemIncludeDirectory
method needs to collect all targets that might provide
INTERFACE_(|SYSTEM)_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES for the current target. We now
have cmTarget::GetLinkImplementationClosure to provide this, so use it.
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.
Create a cmLinkImplItem class derived from cmLinkItem so more
information can be added to link implementation entries than link
interface entries. Convert the LinkImplementation Libraries member to
hold it. Update client sites accordingly.
Instead of storing just the string names in these structures, lookup any
target associated with each item and store its cmTarget pointer. Use
the cmLinkItem class to hold the name and pointer together. Update
client sites to use the pre-stored lookup result instead of looking up
the target name again.
Create a cmTarget::LookupLinkItems helper method to handle the lookup.
Since lookups are now moving from cmComputeLinkDepends::AddLinkEntries
to cmTarget::LookupLinkItems, move use of CheckCMP0004 to the latter.
This drops use of CheckCMP0004 from entries added for _LIB_DEPENDS
variables by cmComputeLinkDepends::AddVarLinkEntries, but I do not
think that use was intentional originally anyway.
In cmTarget, cmGeneratorTarget, and cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator, fix
target name lookups to occur in the cmMakefile context of the target
that referenced the name, not the current 'head' target. The context
matters for imported targets because they are directory-scoped instead
of globally unique. We already do this in cmComputeLinkDepends and
cmComputeTargetDepends.
Extend the InterfaceLibrary test with an example covering this behavior.
Many of the 'head' arguments added by commit v2.8.11~289^2~1 (Make
linking APIs aware of 'head' target, 2013-01-04) turned out not to be
needed. The "link implementation" of a target never needs to be
computed with anything but itself as the 'head' target (except for
CMP0022 OLD behavior because then it is the link interface).
Remove the unused 'head' target paths. Add "internal" versions of
cmTarget::GetDirectLinkLibraries and GetLinkImplementationLibraries
to support the CMP0022 OLD behavior without otherwise exposing the
'head' target option of these methods.
The AddSource method accepts one file and tries to avoiding adding
it to the sources-list of the target if it already exists. This
involves creating many cmSourceFileLocation objects for matching
on existing files, which is an expensive operation.
Avoid the searching algorithm by appending the new sources as one
group. Generate-time processing of source files will ensure
uniqueness.
Add a new AddTracedSources for this purpose. The existing
AddSources method must process the input for policy CMP0049, but
as these source filenames come from cmSourceFile::GetFullPath(),
we can forego that extra processing.
This reverses the decision in commit d38423ec (cmTarget: Add a
method to obtain list of filenames for sources., 2014-03-17). The
cmSourceFile based API is preferred because that avoids creation of
many cmSourceFileLocation objects for matching strings, and the
result is cached by cmTarget.
Avoid calling GetSourceFiles with the same result container multiple
times when tracing target dependencies. The result from the previous
configuration is cached and used later otherwise.
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.
When config-specifig generator expressions are supported, a target
may have SOURCES:
src1.cpp $<$<CONFIG:Debug>:src2.cpp> $<$<CONFIG:Release>:src3.cpp>
and computation in cmTargetTraceDependencies would add each of the
src2.cpp and src3.cpp sources back to the target without a
config-guard. That would make the sources be used later when
generating the buildsystem, regardless of the configuration.
Avoid calling AddSource on the target with the result of the
GetSourceFiles call.
Add a ComputeObjectMapping method to compute the object
names. It takes mapping to populate as an out-parameter so
that it can be extended in the future with parameters
relevant to generator expression evaluation.
Remove the supporting cmGeneratorTarget::AddObject method. It is
no longer needed as the container member is populated directly.
The ComputeObjectMapping method is called whenever objects are
requested from the cmGeneratorTarget. Because the Xcode generator
makes no such request, explicitly invoke the method from that
generator so that the logic of checking for bad sources in object
libraries is executed.
In a follow-up, the UseObjectLibraries usage may be replaced by a
true generator expression evaluator for TARGET_OBJECTS. That
will require generators to use cmGeneratorTarget::GetExternalObjects
which is not currently the case for Xcode and VS generators.
Rely on evaluation in cmCustomCommandGenerator for the generators.
When tracing target dependencies, depend on the union of dependencies
for all configurations.
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.
Implement a Visitor to hold the sequence of source file tests
for populating outputs. Use VS 6 and 7 workaround from Brad
King for lack of partial template specialization and function
template specialization capabilities.
This will make it possible to use context dependent generator
expressions to determine the sources of a target.
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.
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.
