The Config and IMPORTED_ variants may also contain generator
expressions.
If 'the implementation is the interface', then the result of
evaluating the expressions at generate time is used to populate
the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property.
1) In the case of non-static libraries, this is fine because the
user still has the option to populate the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
with generator expressions if that is what is wanted.
2) In the case of static libraries, this prevents a footgun,
enforcing that the interface and the implementation are really
the same.
Otherwise, the LINK_LIBRARIES could contain a generator
expression which is evaluated with a different context at build
time, and when used as an imported target. That would mean that the
result of evaluating the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property for
a static library would not necessarily be the 'link implementation'.
For example:
add_library(libone STATIC libone.cpp)
add_library(libtwo STATIC libtwo.cpp)
add_library(libthree STATIC libthree.cpp)
target_link_libraries(libtwo
$<$<STREQUAL:$<TARGET_PROPERTY:TYPE>,STATIC_LIBRARY>:libone>)
target_link_libraries(libthree libtwo)
If the LINK_LIBRARIES content was simply copied to the
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES, then libthree links to libone, but
executables linking to libthree will not link to libone.
3) As the 'implementation is the interface' concept is to be
deprecated in the future anyway, this should be fine.
This allows a dependee to inform a target that it should have its
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property set to ON, or OFF. The value of
the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property, if set, must be consistent
with any INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE properties on dependees.
Add a test covering the consistency checks on platforms where they run.
This new method checks that the property FOO on a target is consistent
with the INTERFACE_FOO properties of its dependees. If they are not the
consistent, an error is reported. 'Consistent' means that iff the
property is set, it must have the same boolean value as all other
related properties.
Previously we kept direct link dependencies in OriginalLinkLibraries.
The property exposes the information in the CMake language through the
get/set_property commands. We preserve the OriginalLinkLibraries value
internally to support old APIs like that for CMP0003's OLD behavior, but
the property is now authoritative. This follows up from commit d5cf644a
(Split link information processing into two steps, 2012-11-01).
This will be used later to populate the link interface properties when
exporting targets, and will later allow use of generator expressions
when linking to libraries with target_link_libraries.
Also make targets depend on the (config-specific) union of dependencies.
CMake now allows linking to dependencies or not depending on the config.
However, generated build systems are not all capable of processing
config-specific dependencies, so the targets depend on the union of
dependencies for all configs.
The 'head' is the dependent target to be linked with the current target.
It will be used to evaluate generator expressions with proper handling
of mapped configurations and is used as the source target of properties.
This requires that memoization is done with a key of a pair of target
and config, instead of just config, because now the result also depends
on the target. Removing the memoization entirely is not an option
because it slows cmake down considerably.
Use cmComputeLinkInformation::GetFrameworkPaths to get the list of
framework paths needed by the linker. Drop the now unused framework
information from the old-style cmTarget link dependency analysis.
The ComputePDBOutputDir added by commit 3f60dbf1 (Add
PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and PDB_NAME target properties, 2012-09-25) falls
back to the current binary directory instead of the target output
directory as before. When no PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY property is set we
instead should fall back to the target output directory where .pdb files
used to go before the new property was added.

This reverts commit 987e12e2f9.
GenerateTargetManifest is called by the global generator before it
creates the generator targets, so we can't move it to cmGeneratorTarget
yet.
Removing the Process() API and removing the parameters from the
constructor will allow cmGeneratorExpressions to be cached and evaluated
with multiple configs for example, such as when evaluating target
properties. This requires the creation of a new compiled representation
of cmGeneratorExpression. The cmListFileBacktrace remains in the
constructor so that we can record where a particular generator
expression appeared in the CMakeLists file.
The POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property documentation states that its
default value depends on whether SHARED or MODULE is given to the
add_library call. Since these are options to the add_library command we
should document on the command how they affect the property.
While at it, add a missing space to the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
property documentation.
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a
variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not
exclusive to them. Refactor generation of these flags to use new
purpose-specific platform variables
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE
Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries. Add a new
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and
default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior.
Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to
allow easy global configuration in projects.
Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new
approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely. We must
leave it set in case projects reference the value. Furthermore, if a
project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new
value to be used. Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with
projects that modify this platform variable.
Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get
meaningful results.
Add a boolean target property NO_SONAME which may be used to disable
soname for the specified shared library or module even if the platform
supports it. This property should be useful for private shared
libraries or various plugins which live in private directories and have
not been designed to be found or loaded globally.
Replace references to <CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SONAME_${LANG}_FLAG> and
hard-coded -install_name flags with a conditional <SONAME_FLAG> which is
expanded to the value of the CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SONAME_${LANG}_FLAG
definition as long as soname supports is enabled for the target in
question. Keep expanding CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SONAME_${LANG}_FLAG in
rules in case third party projects still use it. Such projects would
not yet use NO_SONAME so the adjacent <TARGET_SONAME> will always be
expanded. Make <TARGET_INSTALLNAME_DIR> NO_SONAME aware as well. Since
-install_name is soname on OS X, this should not be a problem if this
variable is expanded only if soname is enabled.
The Ninja generator performs rule variable substitution only once
globally per rule to put its own placeholders. Final substitution is
performed by ninja at build time. Therefore we cannot conditionally
replace the soname placeholders on a per-target basis. Rather than
omitting $SONAME from rules.ninja, simply do not write its contents for
targets which have NO_SONAME. Since 3 variables are affected by
NO_SONAME ($SONAME, $SONAME_FLAG, $INSTALLNAME_DIR), set them only if
soname is enabled.
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.
This library type can compile sources to object files but does not link
or archive them. It will be useful to reference from executable and
normal library targets for direct inclusion of object files in them.
Diagnose and reject the following as errors:
* An OBJECT library may not be referenced in target_link_libraries.
* An OBJECT library may contain only compiling sources and supporting
headers and custom commands. Other source types that are not normally
ignored are not allowed.
* An OBJECT library may not have PRE_BUILD, PRE_LINK, or POST_BUILD
commands.
* An OBJECT library may not be installed, exported, or imported.
Some of these cases may be supported in the future but are not for now.
Teach the VS generator that OBJECT_LIBRARY targets are "linkable" just
like STATIC_LIBRARY targets for the LinkLibraryDependencies behavior.

Define variable CMAKE_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES to initialize the
value of this property when a target is created. This allows authors
to write
set(CMAKE_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES "")
to disable transitive linking to implementation dependencies of shared
libraries on platforms where it is possible.
Make it a static method instead of an array. It is safer for the
type checking and if we add a new target type we will be warned to add
a case to the switch.
Caveats apply: only valid when not overriding default value for output
dir *and* there is a CMAKE_XCODE_EFFECTIVE_PLATFORMS value.
For now, CMAKE_XCODE_EFFECTIVE_PLATFORMS must be defined in each
project, or in the cache for a build.
Code relying on value of LOCATION and similar properties may not
work if it depends on file existence on disk since CMake will not
evaluate $(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME). This feature is only enabled
for making it easier to build Xcode iOS projects where the developer
wants to be able to switch easily between simulator and device builds.
Define a "Fortran_FORMAT" target and source file property. Initialize

I also added usage of the new feature to an existing test. Although
it has no effect on the resulting Visual Studio projects, you can
verify that the VSResource test produces a non-empty globals section
in the generated .vcproj(x) files.
set_property() has APPEND, which creates a list. E.g. when

Avoid GCC warning

added by commit c6a8e4c7 (The link interface of MODULE libraries is
empty, 2011-03-09).
MODULE libraries cannot be linked into other libraries and executables
(just like executables without ENABLE_EXPORTS). Set the MODULE target
link interface to be empty. This allows such targets to be installed in
an EXPORT set without including all their private implementation
dependencies.
Commit afd7d4ca (Add target property LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC, 2008-01-31)
defined a property to ensure that static runtime libraries get selected.
Add a property to specify that all libraries whose type is unknown, such
as "-lm", should be assumed static. Furthermore it assumes that an
option such as "-static" is also used so that no initial -Bstatic is
needed.
Although the LOCATION property is for compatibility with CMake 2.4, the
LOCATION_<CONFIG> property is modern. However, if a project reads it
and sets location-altering properties later the behavior is undefined.
See parent commit for details.
Reading the LOCATION target property currently locks down the result and
ignores any later changes to properties that affect it. This may or may
not be expected and may or may not be the behavior in earlier versions
of CMake. The property is documented as provided only for compatibility
with CMake 2.4 and alternative interfaces are now available for all
originally envisioned use cases. We want to discourage its use without
outright deprecating it. Add documentation to explicitly state that
reading the property before other properties are set is undefined.

The soname generation code was compile-time selected instead of runtime
selected. The result is that a Mac-compiled cmake used to cross-compile
Mac -> Unix generates an soname of the form libfoo.x.y.so instead of

Avoid tracing dependencies of GLOBAL_TARGET targets. The build system
generators are not designed to handle any dependencies that may be
discovered. Global targets are only generated by CMake and never have
commands that reference targets built in the project anyway.
The exception is when building CMake itself there is a special case to
use the just-built "cmake" binary in the "install" target so that CMake
can replace itself on Windows. Even in this special case we do not want
to let the "install" target depend on the "cmake" target. Doing so
breaks cases like "make -j4 install".
Imported targets do not themselves build, but we can follow dependencies
through them to find real targets. This allows imported targets to
depend on custom targets that provide the underlying files at build
time.
Factor out reading of CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES and CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
into cmMakefile::GetConfigurations. Read the former only in
multi-config generators.
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.
Cygwin versions .dll files by putting the version number in the file
name. Our fix to issue #3571 taught CMake to do this, but it used the
VERSION target property. It is better to use the SOVERSION property
since that is the interface (rather than implementation) version.
Change based on patch from issue #10122.
We create per-configuration target properties to specify ARCHIVE,
LIBRARY, and RUNTIME output directories. The properties override the
generic properties for the <CONFIG> configuration:
ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY -> ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY -> LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY -> RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG>
For multi-configuration generators, the per-configuration subdirectory
normally appended to the generic output directory is not added to the
configuration-specific property values. This allows projects to set the
exact location at which binaries will be placed for each configuration.
See issue #9163.
The CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES variable works only as a global setting.
This commit defines target properties
OSX_ARCHITECTURES
OSX_ARCHITECTURES_<CONFIG>
to specify OS X architectures on a per-target and per-configuration
basis. See issue #8725.
The commit "Target copy ctor should copy internal state" created a new
cmTargetInternals constructor but failed to initialize a POD member that
the original constructor initializes. This commit fixes it.
Ideally we should never copy cmTarget instances, but it is a pain to
remove current uses of it. The pimplized portion of cmTarget has mostly
members that cache results, but some are part of the object state.
These should be copied in the copy ctor instead of re-initialized.
In cmTarget we compute the link implementation, link interface, and link
closure structures on-demand and cache the results. This commit teaches
cmTarget to invalidate results after a LINK_INTERFACE_* property changes
or a new link library is added. We also clear the results at the end of
the Configure step to ensure the Generate step uses up-to-date results.
In cmTarget::SetProperty and cmTarget::AppendProperty we check whether
changing the property invalidates cached information. The check was
duplicated in the two methods, so this commit moves the check into a
helper method called from both.
This method is called during ConfigureFinalPass on every target. It
gives each target a chance to do some final processing after it is known
that no more commands will affect it. Currently we just call the old
AnalyzeLibDependencies that used to be called directly.
This commit creates target and directory properties to enable the Intel
interprocedural optimization support on Linux. Enabling it adds the
compiler option '-ipo' and uses 'xiar' to create archives.
See issue #9615.
This creates cmTarget::GetFeature and cmMakefile::GetFeature methods to
query "build feature" properties. These methods handle local-to-global
scope and per-configuration property lookup. Specific build features
will be defined later.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
In each target we trace dependencies among custom commands to pull in
all source files and build rules necessary to complete the target. This
commit teaches cmTarget to save the inter-source dependencies found
during its analysis. Later this can be used by generators that need to
topologically order custom command rules.
In cmTarget we trace the dependencies of source files in the target to
bring in all custom commands needed to generate them. We clean up the
implementation to use simpler logic and better method names. The new
approach is based on the observation that a source file is actually an
input (dependency) of the rule that it runs (compiler or custom) even in
the case that it is generated (another .rule file has the rule to
generate it).
This teaches cmTarget to use a set of cmSourceFile pointers to guarantee
unique insertion of source files in a target. The order of insertion is
still preserved in the SourceFiles vector.
We create target property "LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY" and a per-config
version "LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY_<CONFIG>". It sets the number of
times a linker should scan through a mutually dependent group of static
libraries. The largest value of this property on any target in the
group is used. This will help projects link even for extreme cases of
cyclic inter-target dependencies.
We creates methods IsDLLPlatform() and HasImportLibrary(). The former
returns true on Windows. The latter returns whether the target has a
DLL import library. It is true on Windows for shared libraries and
executables with exports.
The commit "Consider link dependencies for link language" taught CMake
to propagate linker language preference from languages compiled into
libraries linked by a target. It turns out this should only be done for
some languages, such as C++, because normally the language of the
program entry point (main) should be used.
We introduce variable CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE_PROPAGATES to tell
CMake whether a language should propagate its linker preference across
targets. Currently it is true only for C++.
This factors the decision logic out of cmTarget::ComputeLinkClosure into
dedicated class cmTargetSelectLinker. We replace several local
variables with a single object instance, and organize code into methods.
Now that languages are part of the link interface of a target we need to
export/import the information. A new IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES
property and per-config IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES_<CONFIG>
property specify the information for imported targets. The export() and
install(EXPORT) commands automatically set the properties.
This teaches cmTarget to account for the languages compiled into link
dependencies when determining the linker language for its target.
We list the languages compiled into a static archive in its link
interface. Any target linking to it knows that the runtime libraries
for the static archive's languages must be available at link time. For
now this affects only the linker language selection, but later it will
allow CMake to automatically list the language runtime libraries.
The commit "Do not compute link language for LOCATION" was wrong. The
variables
CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX_Java
CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_Java
are used for building Java .jar files. This commit re-enables the
feature and documents the variables:
CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX_<LANG>
CMAKE_IMPORT_LIBRARY_PREFIX_<LANG>
CMAKE_IMPORT_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG>
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX_<LANG>
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG>
CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_PREFIX_<LANG>
CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_SUFFIX_<LANG>
CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX_<LANG>
CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG>
Instead of making separate, repetitive entries for the _<LANG> variable
documentation, we just mention the per-language name in the text of the
platform-wide variable documentation. Internally we keep undocumented
definitions of these properties to satisfy CMAKE_STRICT mode.
This passes the build configuration to most GetLinkerLanguage calls. In
the future the linker language will account for targets linked in each
configuration.
The LOCATION property requires the full file name of a target to be
computed. Previously we computed the linker language for a target to
look up variables such as CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX_<LANG>. This led
to locating all the source files immediately instead of delaying the
search to generation time. In the future even more computation will be
needed to get the linker language, so it is better to avoid it.
The _<LANG> versions of these variables are undocumented, not set in any
platform file we provide, and do not produce hits in google. This
change just removes the unused feature outright.
The new method centralizes loops that process raw OriginalLinkLibraries
to extract the link implementation (libraries linked into the target)
for each configuration. Results are computed on demand and then cached.
This simplifies link interface computation because the default case
trivially copies the link implementation.
