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.
The Borland-built CTest binary has trouble running many instances of
itself in parallel, making the test unreliable. No particular recent
change appears to be the culprit and the failure is not reliably
reproducible. Just silence the failure for now by skipping the test.
* 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.
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.
If the CTest make program is not msbuild we find the msbuild
corresponding to the current test generator. In the case of
VS 12 search for the msbuild it provides.
Even with the NMake Makefiles generator, it is not able to properly
clean up after the test.

Internal cmake changing into directory: C:/Dashboards/My Tests/CMake-nmake10-x64-continuous/Tests/WarnUnusedCliUnused
Error: cmake execution failed
CMake Error: Error: generator : NMake Makefiles
Does not match the generator used previously: Visual Studio 10
Either remove the CMakeCache.txt file or choose a different binary directory.
It is common to specify a CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE and get a warning
for using it despite it not being used.
The WarnUnusedCliUnused test relies on the warning being emitted
each time cmake is run on an existing build. That behavior is changed
by this patch to warn only on the first invokation of CMake, and not
on subsequent invokations (because the variable is in the cache with
the same value). For that test, a clean target is added which clears
the cache and cause the warning to be emitted each time.
As the Ninja generator does not support the feature needed to test
this, it is not tested with that generator.
Checkout [1] as an example of the test failures. In that particular cases, the
failures is caused by the plus sign in the path being pass unescaped
(buildd-cmake_2.8.9-1~bpo60+1-armel-3Lvkef) to the regexp.

In Qt 5.1, Qt5::Core has a INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION property
of '5', and since CMake 2.8.11, Qt4::QtCore has an
INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION of '4'. This was introduced in
commit 4aa10cd6 (FindQt4: Set the INTERFACE_QT_MAJOR_VERSION for
Qt4::QtCore, 2013-03-16), to produce an error if Qt 4 and Qt 5
are erroneously used by the same target. This can also be used
however to determine the Qt major version, and therefore the
particular moc executable to use during automoc steps. This means
that targets in a single buildsystem can use a selection of Qt 4
and Qt 5, and still take advantage of the CMAKE_AUTOMOC feature
without conflicting.

Add support to maintain designer functionality for Visual Studio C++
Windows Forms projects. Also add a test project showing how to use
the CMakeLists.txt file and, when successfully configured, will allow
use of the designer for the included form.
This allows the ctest_build command's TARGET option to name a target
in a subdirectory and still build properly with msbuild.
Add test case covering use of ctest_build() with such a TARGET.
Add test covering cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand for VS
solutions with MSBuild and building a target defined in a subdirectory
and not part of ALL.
In particular, this checks that CTest's use of select() has a sufficient
file descriptor set size limit (FD_SETSIZE) to handle many child
processes at the same time. Running 20 tests requires more than 64
descriptors, the Cygwin default that we override.
Since commit e03f83f3 (ProcessorCount test: fix path to cmsysTestsCxx
executable, 2013-01-24) the directory references a target that is not
built when BUILD_TESTING is OFF. It makes no sense to add tests without
BUILD_TESTING anyway.
While at it, use add_subdirectory instead of subdirs to add CMakeTests.
Commit 79568f95 (automoc: Add source file to target early to set the
linker language, 2013-02-20) changed automoc initialization to a two
step process. In the first step, the generated source file was added
to the target, which allows the link language to be determined.
However, this bypassed the check for the availability of Qt itself.
At build-time the automoc file could not be generated because the moc
tool was not available to create it.
The solution is to only add the automoc file to the target if Qt is
found.
Extend the Module.ExternalData test to cover a DATA{} reference whose
name contains a space. Skip the case when the native build tool does
not support spaces.
Some make tools do not support spaces inside the source tree paths.
Decide early whether to add tests that depend on support for spaces so
we can use the result in a decision for any test.
All ctest --build-and-test invocations require the options
--build-generator ${CMAKE_GENERATOR}
--build-makeprogram ${CMAKE_TEST_MAKEPROGRAM}
to be passed and have consistent values, except for a few special cases.
Collect the generator options in a variable instead of repeating the
options everywhere explicitly.

Run the test with the ctest --build-noclean option. The test
CMakeLists.txt file already uses file(REMOVE_RECURSE) to clean out
downloaded data anyway. Some file removed by "msdev ... /clean" causes
CMake to re-run in the middle of the build step and file(REMOVE_RECURSE)
wipes out already-generated files.
The test added by commit e378ba5f (Add CTestLimitDashJ test, 2012-12-26)
crashes with CTest compiled by Borland 5.8. There seems to be interaction
among the large number of internal ctest runs. It is probably related to
the undiscovered underlying issue mentioned in commit 32478069 (CTest:
Prevent creation of unbounded number of tests in ctest, 2012-12-18) when
fixing the symptom covered by the CTestLimitDashJ test.
Add --force-new-ctest-process to avoid the crash. Further investigation
will still be needed to identify the true problem.
Add a Module.ExternalData test to verify data retrieval and test
argument DATA{} references.
Add a RunCMake.ExternalData test to verify error handling and automatic
transformation of a raw data to a content link and staged object.
This means for example, that consumers can use:
target_link_libraries(foo ${QT_QTGUI_LIBRARIES})
instead of also needing to specify all 'public' dependencies:
target_link_libraries(foo ${QT_QTGUI_LIBRARIES} ${QT_QTCORE_LIBRARIES} )
when using the IMPORTED targets. Also populate the
IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES property so CMake can help the linker
find shared library dependencies.
Add a test that verifies that when ctest -j 4 is called, at most, 4 tests
are executed at any one time.
The test works by running the same script as each of 100 tests. And then setting
up test properties for DEPENDS, RUN_SERIAL, PROCESSORS and COST in order to get
the tests to run in a semi-deterministic ordering, even in parallel. The script
writes a file, sleeps for a bit, and then deletes the file. In the meantime, it
counts files that currently exist, and emits output that triggers a test failure
if the count of files is ever greater than 4.
Prior to the commit that fixed bug #12904, this would result in a failed test
because the output of some of the tests would indicate that more than 4 tests
were running simultaneously.
Now that this issue is resolved, this test will help guarantee that it stays
resolved moving forward.
