We use response files to list object files for the MSVC linker. The
linker complains if any response file is greater than 128K, so we split
the object file lists into multiple response files.
Previously generation of object file lists for linker and cleaning
command lines was duplicated for library and executable target
generators. This combines the implementations.
This clarifies documentation of the find_* commands' PATH_SUFFIXES
option. The option adds paths with the suffixes but does not remove the
paths without the suffixes.
In cmFindBase we were searching all path suffixes appended to all paths
before considering the paths without any suffixes. Instead we should
consider each path with and without suffixes before moving to the next
path. See issue #7783.
This adds a missing default constructor to cmListFileContext that makes
sure the line number is initialized to zero. A zero line number will
indicate a generated context.
Applying patch provided in issue #7797.
Fixes to man-pages:
- Character '-' must be espaced as '\-'
- Surround preformatted text with '.nf' and '.fi' to adjust filling
- Give every page a NAME section for indexing by mandb
- Pass the man page filename without extension to .TH in its header
Also added a title to the HTML header.
These changes refactor cmLocalGenerator methods Convert and
ConvertToOutputForExisting to support references inside the build tree
using relative paths. After this commit, all tests pass with Makefile
generators when relative paths are enabled by default. See issue #7779.
The build rule to run the resource compiler on Windows with a Makefiles
generator should include the placeholder to add the definition flags.
See issue #7769.
The cmMakefile::DefineFlagsOrig ivar was created to help preserve the
old DEFINITIONS property behavior now that definitions are moved from
DefineFlags to the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS directory property. This fixes
propagation of the original value into subdirectories.
This adds a SOURCES option to ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET, enabling users to
specify extra sources for inclusion in the target. Such sources may not
build, but will show up in the IDE project files for convenient editing.
See issue #5848.
After creating a utility target with AddUtilityCommand, return a pointer
to the cmTarget instance so the caller may further modify the target as
needed.
