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.
Replace the cmLocalGenerator GetCompileOptions method with an
AddCompileOptions method since all call sites of the former simply
append the result to a flags string anyway.
Add a "lang" argument to AddCompileOptions and move the
CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_REGEX filter into it. Move the call sites in each
generator to a location that has both the language and configuration
available. In the Makefile generator this also moves the flags from
build.make to flags.make where they belong.
Currently it only adds the contents of the COMPILE_FLAGS target
property, but it can be extended to handle a new COMPILE_OPTIONS
generator expression enabled property.
The API for retrieving per-config COMPILE_DEFINITIONS has long
existed because of the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> style
properties. Ensure that the provided configuration being generated
is also used to evaluate the generator expressions
in cmTarget::GetCompileDefinitions.
Both the generic COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and the config-specific
variant need to be evaluated with the requested configuration. This
has the side-effect that the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS does not need to
be additionally evaluated with no configuration, so the callers can
be cleaned up a bit too.
Commit 08cb4fa4 (Process generator expressions in the
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property, 2012-09-18) contained an incorrect
assumption that CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE was set on the makefile for each
generated configuration in multi-config generators. Fix that by making
the GetIncludeDirectories API depend on the config.
This way we don't need to check the definitions from the Makefile when
generating later, and can more easily add generator expressions.
Duplication is not a problem as the definitions are de-duplicated before
generating.
There is no need to do so. Be consistent with include directories and
ensure uniqueness.
This requires changing the API of the cmLocalGenerator::AppendDefines
method, and changing the generators to match.
The test unfortunately can't test for uniqueness, but it at least verifies
that nothing gets lost.
Teach cmMakefile::AddCustomCommandToOutput to return the cmSourceFile
instance to which the custom command is attached. Use the return value
instead of separately adding a .rule extension and searching for the
source. Mark CMake-generated .rule files explicitly with a property
instead of trusting the file extension.
Since commit 328c0f65 (Simplify cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator source
classification, 2012-03-19) the VS 10 generator uses the
cmGeneratorTarget source classification instead of directly getting the
list of source files from the target. This accidentally dropped the
CMakeLists.txt files from generated projects because they are added too
late for cmGeneratorTarget.
All generator-specific source files must be added to targets prior to
cmGeneratorTarget construction. Refactor addition of the CMakeLists.txt
files with CMake re-run custom commands to take place before normal
generation begins, and therefore early enough to be included in the
cmGeneratorTarget classification.
For now do not allow an OBJECT library to reference other object
libraries. Teach cmTarget::ComputeLinkImplementation to include the
languages of object libraries used by a target.
Treat OBJECT libraries as STATIC libraries. The VS project file format
provides no way to avoid running the librarian so hide the resulting
.lib away next to the object files as it should never be referenced.
The object files will be left behind for reference by other targets
later.
Implement cmGlobalGenerator::ComputeTargetObjects in the VS generator
to pre-compute all the object file names. Use the results during
generation instead of re-computing it later.

df19b9c VS6: Avoid _MBCS define when _SBCS is defined (#12189)
ba89e92 Visual Studio: Allow setting Single Byte Character Set (#12189)
Simplify cmLocalVisualStudioGenerator::ComputeObjectNameRequirements to
loop over the original vector of source files instead of recursively
traversing source groups just to find the same files. Drop from
cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::ComputeObjectNames temporary source
group calculation now that it is not needed for computing object names.
Remove partial implementation added by commit ca0230a3 (check in initial
conv library stuff, 2007-02-16) since it was never finished. It does
not make sense for multi-configuration generators since no specific
build configuration is processed at CMake time.
Eliminate callers of cmMakefile::GetIncludeDirectories.
All callers of GetIncludeDirectories should go through the local generator
object.
Only the local generator calls cmTarget::GetIncludeDirectories directly.
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.
The Intel Fortran plugin forgets to create the output directory into
which it will write a DLL's import library. Utilize the fix added by
commit f4b3bdc6 (Create an exe's implib output dir for VS, 2009-06-15)
and generalized by commit 764ac980 (Generalize exe implib dir creation
for VS, 2009-06-16). Create a pre-link rule to make the directory.
VS 6 forgets to create the output directory for a static library if it
differs from the intermediate files directory. We work around this VS
bug by creating a pre-link event on the library target to make the
directory.
