If the expression $<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> appears in the content
of a target property, the target that prop is read from is
the 'head target' of the expression. In contexts such as evaluating
the content of a target property during generation, such
as INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, the 'head target' is the one on which the
initial request was made.
If evaluating a generator expression which is not a target property
content, the target must be explicitly specified. Such contexts
include add_custom_command and file(GENERATE). The content might
then look like
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop>
However, as there is no HeadTarget set, any generator expressions
evaluated as part of reading prop from tgt which do not specify
the tgt directly report an error.
Modify the logic of the TARGET_PROPERTY generator expression so
that in such contexts, the 'head target' is set to the appropriate
target which was first encountered.
In commit 2bc22bda (Xcode: Add frameworks search paths from link
dependeny closure, 2012-12-07) we made framework search paths from the
link closure conditional on target type, skipping it on STATIC and
OBJECT library targets that do not actually link. However, the
framework search paths also influence the compile lines (-F options) so
we need them for all target types. The Makefile generator already does
this, as did the Xcode generator prior to the above-mentioned commit.
This property should come from the content of the property itself,
plus the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the link *implementation*.
In contrast, when the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES is evaluated for
a target, the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the link *interface*
is used.
Similar logic applies for the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS target properties.
If the propertyName is already an INTERFACE_ variant of the property,
ie, the expression is similar to
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>
then the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the link *interface* of foo
is used.
However, if the propertyName is not an INTERFACE_ variant, and the
interfacePropertyName is, ie, the expression is similar to:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>
then the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the link *implementation*
of foo is used.
This will be used to process transitive components of properties
which depend on linked targets. Currently only the link interface
of the target can be used as the source of the linked targets, but
in the next commit it will be possible to use the link implementation
as the source of link targets.
This commit does not change the semantics of the code.
Commit e65ef08b (try_compile: Fix quoting of libraries in generated
CMakeLists.txt, 2013-05-24) added quoting to entries specified in
the LINK_LIBRARIES. However, if the input entries contain whitespace
padding, that quoted whitespace causes an error in the generated
CMakeLists.txt at target_link_libraries.
Strictly, it is an error to have space separated entries in the
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES, as it was never properly handled by
CMakeExpandImportedTargets even prior to commit 236133e7 (Handle
targets in the LINK_LIBRARIES of try_compile., 2013-02-09). However,
it is causing a regression in KDE code which tests the next branch.
Allocate a buffer large enough to hold the input path when removing a
trailing slash. Use a local stack buffer when it is large enough and
fall back to heap allocation otherwise.
Since commit 0d46e9a0 (Store includes from the same include_directories
call together., 2013-01-20) we accidentally use such entries. Fix the
code to drop them instead. Update the IncludeDirectories test to cover
this case.

Since commit 236133e7 (Handle targets in the LINK_LIBRARIES of
try_compile, 2013-02-09) libraries passed to the new LINK_LIBRARIES
option of try_compile are not quoted inside the generated CMakeLists.txt
file. Quote the library names so they re-parse correctly when loaded by
CMake to configure and generate the test project.

dea1df4 Memoize usage requirement include directories in a config-specific map
26dba6a Fix include dir propagation from conditionally linked targets
b8259c3 Centralize maintenance of usage requirement include directories
Commit 42ebb188 (Memoize includes and defines from interface libraries.,
2013-02-22) introduced caching of the includes. Fix the memoization to
be configuration-specific so that we do not accumulate entries across
multiple evaluations in a multi-config generator.
Generator expressions, including configuration-specific expressions may
be used as link libraries of targets. The old-style keywords of
target_link_libraries are handled in terms of new generator expressions.
However, the generator expressions expect target names to be valid
against a regular expression, whereas target_link_libraries does not
require validation. In generator expression constructed without any
action from the user we need to ensure that only valid expressions are
generated. Ensure that strings which are not valid target names are not
used in generator expressions which validate the argument.
Code like
target_link_libraries(B debug A)
generates usage requirement references such as "$<$<CONFIG:DEBUG>:A>".
When cmTarget::GetIncludeDirectories uses such references it generates
expressions like:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:$<$<CONFIG:DEBUG>:A>,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>
When the conditions are false such references evaluate as an empty
string and the expression fails with an error such as:
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> expression requires a non-empty target name.
Fix this by teaching cmTarget::GetIncludeDirectories to wrap the above
expression inside a conditional:
$<$<BOOL:$<$<CONFIG:DEBUG>:A>>:...>
so that $<TARGET_PROPERTY:...> will not be evaluated with an empty
target.
Maintain a target's internal list of usage requirement include
directories whenever the LINK_LIBRARIES property is set by either
target_link_libraries or set_property.
Re-word the documentation to make clear that CMake integrates usage
requirements during generation and not synchronously during
configuration or execution of target_link_libraries.
