Add a `VS_STARTUP_PROJECT` directory property to specify the project
that should be placed first in the `.sln` file so that it will be
selected as the default startup project.

Refactor cmGlobalVisualStudioGenerator::TargetCompare to store the name of
the target that should come first instead of hard-coding "ALL_BUILD".
Update client sites to specify "ALL_BUILD" when ordering for .sln files
and an empty string otherwise (in cases when "ALL_BUILD" should not be
encountered anyway).
Drop the VS >= 7 generator's global Configurations member and instead
lookup configurations using cmMakefile::GetConfigurations where needed.
This avoids accumulating all CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES values ever
encountered by a project() or enable_language() command and allows
the final value to be used in each directory. We don't officially
support per-directory CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES values but we certainly
should not generate configurations not in the final value in the top
level directory.
Revert commit v3.2.0-rc1~165^2 (Encoding: Write Visual Studio solution
file with BOM, 2014-12-26). The BOM breaks the VS IDE version selector
when loading the .sln from Windows Explorer.
When configured to use UTF-8 internally, add a UTF-8 BOM
to generated .sln files for Visual Studio to correctly
handle them.
Otherwise, some versions of Visual Studio will read them
as ANSI encoded files.
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.
Drop the "Modules/CMakeVS*FindMake.cmake" files. Override the
cmGlobalGenerator::FindMakeProgram method for VS generators to use their
internal APIs to locate the build tool. Set the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM as a
normal variable for use by project code, but do not cache it. This will
allow CMake and CTest to select the proper tool at build time.
Since we do not need the information about the target architecture
we can use the PlatformName only to specify the this information.
This also removes setting of the MSVC_*_ARCHITECTURE_ID variable
which is not required, because this variable gets set by the
compiler detection code in CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_CHECK().

Teach Windows-cl.cmake to use CMAKE_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_VERSION to set the
"MSVC##" and MSVC_VERSION variables. It no longer needs the IDE generator
to dictate the version or to detect the version by running the
command-line tool for NMake and Ninja generators. Drop configuration of
CMakeCPlatform.cmake and CMakeCXXPlatform.cmake from Windows-cl.cmake.in
because all the results it saved are now cheap to compute every time.
Move the Version member to the top cmLocalVisualStudioGenerator class
and set it consistently for instances created by all the global
generator versions. Use an enumeration type with values scaled by a
factor of 10 so we can handle VS 7.1 without out-of-order numbers.
VS 7.1 support for SuppressStartupBanner was broken by commit 25116a3c
(Fix CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE for VS10 vcxproj files, 2011-10-11) because
it assumed comparison of VS version numbers works. Now it does.
If a .sln file refers to a project file with a leading ".\", as in
".\foo.vcxproj" instead of just "foo.vcxproj" or a full path then
msbuild behaves strangely. Whenever target foo is built as a dependency
of another target, msbuild brings multiple configurations up to date
instead of just the requested configuration!
Avoid a leading ".\" in project file references to avoid this behavior.
This alternative fix to that attempted by commit 57e71533 (Avoid msbuild
idiosyncrasy that builds multiple configs, 2010-12-10) avoids use of
full path project file references which vcbuild does not support.
This work was started from a patch by Thomas Schiffer.
Thanks, Thomas!
See the newly added documentation of the FOLDER target
property for details.
Also added global properties, USE_FOLDERS and
PREDEFINED_TARGETS_FOLDER. See new docs here, too.
By default, the FOLDER target property is used to organize
targets into folders in IDEs that have support for such
organization.
This commit adds "solution folder" support to the Visual
Studio generators. Currently works with versions 7 through
10.
Also, use the new FOLDER property in the ExternalProject
test and in the CMake project itself.
The cmGlobalVisualStudio71Generator::WriteProjectDepends method no
longer uses its 'dspname' parameter. Leave off the name to avoid the
unused parameter warning. Later we should refactor the method to avoid
passing the argument altogether.
Commit 438a7e2f (Fix utility dependencies for static libraries in VS
generators, 2007-04-04) implemented utility-only dependencies between
linkable targets by introducing an intermediate non-linkable target.
We convert a dependency of the form
foo -> bar
to the form
foo -> bar_UTILITY -> bar
to prevent foo from including bar on its link line. Previously we added
the extra "_UTILITY" targets explicitly among the project targets before
dependency analysis was performed. Now we generate them separately at
the last moment so that cmGlobalGenerator need not be aware of them.
Compute VS target dependencies in cmGlobalVisualStudioGenerator when the
main global dependency analysis is done. Use these results in each of
the VS generators instead of duplicating the analysis.
