The logic added by commit ffc0b5e4 (Overwrite the symlink if it already
exists, 2007-02-15) does not recognize and remove existing broken links
before replacing them. Improve the logic to remove any existing
destination file or link (but not directory). On failure, report an
error message explaining why the existing path could not be removed or
the new one could not be created.
Add a RunCMake.CommandLine test to cover 'cmake -E' cases. Start with
test cases covering 'cmake -E create_symlink' behavior on UNIX platforms.
73e9340 get_target_property: Error on non-existent target.
ab9f58f FindQt4: Ensure target exists before calling get_target_property.
37ebeb9 FindQt4: Fix use of get_target_property to use actual target name.
6aabb6a Genex: Use case-sensitive comparison for COMPILER_ID.
5bb53f6 cmTarget: Deprecate COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_ properties with a policy.
Revert the origin-tracking infrastructure from commit 98093c45 (QtAutoUic:
Add INTERFACE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS target property., 2013-11-20). Use the
compatibility-tracking for compatible strings instead.
If two different dependencies require different AUTOUIC_OPTIONS,
cmake will now appropriately issue an error.
Commit 66b290e7 (export(): Process the export() command at generate
time., 2012-10-06 ) refactored export() so that it could evaluate
strings at generate-time. This was intended for evaluating target
properties, but that commit also removed a check for target
existence at configure-time. Restore that check and add a test for
this case.
Diagnostics which check the sanity of exported include paths
previously skipped over any path containing a generator expression.
Introduce a policy to issue an error message in such cases.
The export files created in the OLD behavior are not usable, because
they contain relative paths or paths to the source or build location
which are not suitable for use on installation. CMake will report an
error on import.
Split the test cases covering spaces and colons into separate units.
Run the space cases everywhere. Disable the colon cases where they
are known to fail. This approach increases platform coverage for the
test and makes the known-failure logic as local as possible.
No Makefile generator on Windows can generate targets with ':'
in their name because the CMakeFiles/<target>.dir directory cannot
be created. Skip this part of the test on all Windows Make tools.
In certain scenarios, it is preferable to keep a 'dirty' install prefix
than to clear it, and to expect that content will not be found there.
Add a CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX variable that can be set to disable
searching the install prefix.
3e04946 Require CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to be found as a full path
6007f7c CMakeDetermineCompilerId: Always use compiler detected from IDE
332771c CMakeDetermine*Compiler: Remove temporary cache entry
All generators now support detection of the full path to the compiler, so
require it to be so. This will allow CMake<LANG>Information.cmake and
other logic to assume the full path to the compiler tool is available.
The Makefile generators already rejected CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER values
that did not name an existing compiler. Extend this error message to
all generators, make it occur as early as possible, and improve the
message with advice about how to set the compiler. If the full path to
the compiler is not known, finish enabling languages with a fatal error
so configuration does not continue.
For now, allow the RC language compiler to not be a full path. Later we
will need to detect the full path to "rc" under the VS IDE.
Add a RunCMake.CompilerNotFound test to cover failure cases.
Fix the RunCMake.CompilerChange test EmptyCompiler case to work
when configuration does not continue past enable_language.
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.
Add cmCommand::Disallowed helper to check the setting of a policy that
disallows the command. Add a RunCMake.DisallowedCommands test
placeholder. Add a Help/policy/DISALLOWED_COMMAND.txt file for
inclusion by each policy document to avoid duplication of the common
text.
Add a string(CONCAT) command to simply concatenate input arguments
together. This will be useful for combining strings from different
quoting syntaxes. Add a RunCMake.string test covering these cases.
Introduce a policy to control the behavior.
The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a
double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport
test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.
The final location and name of a build-target is not determined
until generate-time. However, reading the LOCATION property from
a target is currently allowed at configure time. Apart from creating
possibly-erroneous results, this has an impact on the implementation
of cmake itself, and prevents some major cleanups from being made.
Disallow reading LOCATION from build-targets with a policy. Port some
existing uses of it in CMake itself to use the TARGET_FILE generator
expression.
By default, the message is not issued. If CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED
is on, the message is fatal. If CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED is on, the
message is a warning.
Previously if headers required to check if a struct has a member can be
compiled with C++ compiler only, the check would fail because the C
compiler fails. As a consequence, the result variable would be set to
false, even if the struct has that particular member.
Teach CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER to accept a new optional argument LANGUAGE
that allows one to explicitly set the compiler to use. The new
signature is therefore:
CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER (<struct> <member> <header> <variable>
[LANGUAGE <language>])
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.
Test basic unquoted and quoted argument parsing cases including failure
on an unterminated string and an unterminated command invocation. Also
cover arguments not separated by any spaces, which is accidentally
allowed by the current parser.
* 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.
First, it prevents a NULL dereference and second it reiterates that
targets without languages are not supported by CMake.
Add a RunCMake.ExportWithoutLanguage test exporting a library without a
languages.
Add a new signature to help populate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES and
LINK_LIBRARIES cleanly in a single call. Add policy CMP0023 to control
whether the keyword signatures can be mixed with uses of the plain
signatures on the same target.
3e30d9e TLL: Don't populate old link interface if CMP0022 is NEW.
574fec9 Export: Generate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property on targets.
d0a76ea Introduce the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property.
ddde61c Introduce the LINK_ONLY generator expression.
5aa9731 GenexEval: Add abstracted access to link interface for a target.
Use preprocessor loops and add a unit test for the appropriate
policies. All policies whose value is recorded at target creation
time should be part of this list.
When CMake reports failure to configure a project, especially when the
toolchain does not initialize properly, the true reason may be clear
from reading the CMakeFiles/CMake(Output|Error).log files. Advise users
to look at these files if they exist when configuration fails.
Add RunCMake.Configure test to check that the log files are mentioned
when configuration fails.
This property replaces the properties which
match (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?, and is enabled
for IMPORTED targets, and for non-IMPORTED targets only with a policy.
For static libraries, the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is
also used as the source of transitive usage requirements content.
Static libraries still require users to link to all entries in
their LINK_LIBRARIES, but usage requirements such as INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS can be restricted to only
certain interface libraries.
Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is populated unconditionally,
we need to compare the evaluated result of it with the link implementation
to determine whether to issue the policy warning for static libraries. For
shared libraries, the policy warning is issued if the contents of
the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property differs from the contents of the
relevant config-specific old LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property.
This is initialized by CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET. The target
property is used as the operand to the -fvisibility= compile option
with GNU compilers and clang.
