The storage of a pointer means that the ownership and lifetime are
externally determined, which is harder to reason about. It also imposes
API constraints, requiring APIs to return references to backtraces.
This pointer storage was introduced in commit v3.1.0-rc1~425^2~3 (genex:
remove the need for backtraces, 2014-05-23). As backtraces are now cheap
to copy around, just do that instead.
XAML files are by default of type Page in the vcxproj and can be
overriden by setting the VS_XAML_TYPE property. The .cpp and .h file
of the same name are automatically added as depending on the XAML file.
New VSXaml test builds a basic XAML WindowsStore 8.1 app with VS2013.
Custom command path normalization added in commit v3.1.0-rc1~471^2
(add_custom_command: Normalize OUTPUT and DEPENDS paths, 2014-05-28)
broke use of OBJECT_DEPENDS to bring in custom commands because the
latter paths were not normalized too. Normalize them and add a test
case.

The evaluation files must be known before cmTargetTraceDependencies
attempts to find them, but we must actually generate the files after
cmTargetTraceDependencies, as that can add to target SOURCES. The
limitation is that the generated output name must not depend on the
SOURCES of a target if the generated file is used by that target.
Mark the output files as GENERATED so that trace dependencies does
not expect them to already exist in the filesystem.
Move the invokation of ForceLinkerLanguage in the Generate logic
to after the generated file names are known. ForceLinkerLanguage
tries to determine the sources of a target (in order to determine
an already-known language) and otherwise fails to get information
about the generated file.
Test that the output of file(GENERATE) can be used as a target source
file and that accessing the target SOURCES in the name of the output
file is an error. Accessing the TARGET_OBJECTS would be a similar
error if it was legal to use that generator expression in this
context. That is not currently possible and is a different error
condition, so test the current error output as a reminder to change
the expected output if that becomes possible in the future. Test
that generated rule files resulting from cmTargetTraceDependencies
appear in the SOURCES generated in the output file.
Teach cmGeneratorTarget to classify .pfx files as package
certificate key files. Teach cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator
to write them as PackageCertificateKeyFile in .vcxproj files.

Teach cmGeneratorTarget to extract .appxmanifest sources separately.
Teach cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator to write them with the
AppxManifest tool in .vcxproj files. This will allow us to detect
whether the project provides an application manfiest explicitly.
Since commit v3.0.0-rc1~174^2~1 (cmTarget: Fix system include annotation
propagation, 2014-01-01) the cmGeneratorTarget::IsSystemIncludeDirectory
method needs to collect all targets that might provide
INTERFACE_(|SYSTEM)_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES for the current target. We now
have cmTarget::GetLinkImplementationClosure to provide this, so use it.
Loosen this restriction on OBJECT libraries to allow source files of any
name to be generated by custom commands or listed for reference in IDE
projects so long as they would not affect linking of a normal library.
Update the rejection message to be more specific about the looser
restriction.
Extend the ObjectLibrary test to cover a ".cmake" file generated by a
custom command in an OBJECT library.
Create a cmLinkImplItem class derived from cmLinkItem so more
information can be added to link implementation entries than link
interface entries. Convert the LinkImplementation Libraries member to
hold it. Update client sites accordingly.
Instead of storing just the string names in these structures, lookup any
target associated with each item and store its cmTarget pointer. Use
the cmLinkItem class to hold the name and pointer together. Update
client sites to use the pre-stored lookup result instead of looking up
the target name again.
Create a cmTarget::LookupLinkItems helper method to handle the lookup.
Since lookups are now moving from cmComputeLinkDepends::AddLinkEntries
to cmTarget::LookupLinkItems, move use of CheckCMP0004 to the latter.
This drops use of CheckCMP0004 from entries added for _LIB_DEPENDS
variables by cmComputeLinkDepends::AddVarLinkEntries, but I do not
think that use was intentional originally anyway.
In cmTarget, cmGeneratorTarget, and cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator, fix
target name lookups to occur in the cmMakefile context of the target
that referenced the name, not the current 'head' target. The context
matters for imported targets because they are directory-scoped instead
of globally unique. We already do this in cmComputeLinkDepends and
cmComputeTargetDepends.
Extend the InterfaceLibrary test with an example covering this behavior.
Many of the 'head' arguments added by commit v2.8.11~289^2~1 (Make
linking APIs aware of 'head' target, 2013-01-04) turned out not to be
needed. The "link implementation" of a target never needs to be
computed with anything but itself as the 'head' target (except for
CMP0022 OLD behavior because then it is the link interface).
Remove the unused 'head' target paths. Add "internal" versions of
cmTarget::GetDirectLinkLibraries and GetLinkImplementationLibraries
to support the CMP0022 OLD behavior without otherwise exposing the
'head' target option of these methods.
The AddSource method accepts one file and tries to avoiding adding
it to the sources-list of the target if it already exists. This
involves creating many cmSourceFileLocation objects for matching
on existing files, which is an expensive operation.
Avoid the searching algorithm by appending the new sources as one
group. Generate-time processing of source files will ensure
uniqueness.
Add a new AddTracedSources for this purpose. The existing
AddSources method must process the input for policy CMP0049, but
as these source filenames come from cmSourceFile::GetFullPath(),
we can forego that extra processing.
This reverses the decision in commit d38423ec (cmTarget: Add a
method to obtain list of filenames for sources., 2014-03-17). The
cmSourceFile based API is preferred because that avoids creation of
many cmSourceFileLocation objects for matching strings, and the
result is cached by cmTarget.
Avoid calling GetSourceFiles with the same result container multiple
times when tracing target dependencies. The result from the previous
configuration is cached and used later otherwise.
Disallow the use of config-specific source files with
the Visual Studio and Xcode generators. They don't have
any way to represent the condition currently.
Use the same common-config API in cmQtAutoGenerators. While
it accepts config-specific files, it doesn't have to support
multiple configurations yet.
Loop over the configs in cmTargetTraceDependencies
and cmGlobalGenerator::WriteSummary and consume all source
files.
Loop over the configs in cmComputeTargetDepends and compute the
object library dependencies for each config.
When config-specifig generator expressions are supported, a target
may have SOURCES:
src1.cpp $<$<CONFIG:Debug>:src2.cpp> $<$<CONFIG:Release>:src3.cpp>
and computation in cmTargetTraceDependencies would add each of the
src2.cpp and src3.cpp sources back to the target without a
config-guard. That would make the sources be used later when
generating the buildsystem, regardless of the configuration.
Avoid calling AddSource on the target with the result of the
GetSourceFiles call.
Add a ComputeObjectMapping method to compute the object
names. It takes mapping to populate as an out-parameter so
that it can be extended in the future with parameters
relevant to generator expression evaluation.
Remove the supporting cmGeneratorTarget::AddObject method. It is
no longer needed as the container member is populated directly.
The ComputeObjectMapping method is called whenever objects are
requested from the cmGeneratorTarget. Because the Xcode generator
makes no such request, explicitly invoke the method from that
generator so that the logic of checking for bad sources in object
libraries is executed.
In a follow-up, the UseObjectLibraries usage may be replaced by a
true generator expression evaluator for TARGET_OBJECTS. That
will require generators to use cmGeneratorTarget::GetExternalObjects
which is not currently the case for Xcode and VS generators.
Rely on evaluation in cmCustomCommandGenerator for the generators.
When tracing target dependencies, depend on the union of dependencies
for all configurations.
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
When given a non-NULL configuration the GetLocation returned the
location for the given configuration. When given a NULL configuration
the GetLocation method returned a location with the build-system
placeholder for the configuration name. Split the latter use case out
into a separate GetLocationForBuild method and update call sites
accordingly.
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.
Implement a Visitor to hold the sequence of source file tests
for populating outputs. Use VS 6 and 7 workaround from Brad
King for lack of partial template specialization and function
template specialization capabilities.
This will make it possible to use context dependent generator
expressions to determine the sources of a target.
The callers already skip non-targets, so unify the target search.
Change supporting functions to accept a container of targets instead
of strings where possible.
Most callers already have a std::string, on which they called c_str() to pass it
into these methods, which internally converted it back to std::string. Pass a
std::string directly to these methods now, avoiding all these conversions.
Those methods that only pass in a const char* will get the conversion to
std::string now only once.
Direct users of IMPORTED targets treat INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
as SYSTEM, after commit a63fcbcb (Always consider includes from IMPORTED
targets to be SYSTEM., 2013-08-29). It was intended that transitive
use of an IMPORTED target would have the same behavior, but that
did not work. The implementation processed only direct dependencies
in cmTarget::FinalizeSystemIncludeDirectories.
Implement transitive evaluation of dependencies by traversing the
link interface of each target in the link implementation.
Define a custom ordering functor to deterministically and strictly
order the cmTarget* key. Otherwise the order would be dependent on
runtime pointer values, which breaks assumptions of some generators.
The functor orders first by target name, and then by directory. Multiple
global targets may have the same name, such as edit_cache, but their
directory differentiates them.
638843a Remove the Location member from cmTarget.
90ef1cf Move GenerateTargetManifest to cmGeneratorTarget.
25f1df3 Split CreateGeneratorTargets into two methods.
Unlike other target properties, this does not have a corresponding
non-INTERFACE variant.
This allows propagation of system attribute on include directories
from link dependents.
Entries from the cmMakefile are processed and maintained similarly
to other include directories. The include_directories(SYSTEM)
signature affects all following targets, and all prior targets
in the same makefile.
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.
Following from the discussion here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/3615/focus=5170
(Re: Generator expressisons in target properties, 26 Oct 12:10)
we can't split cmTarget API for linking into cmGeneratorTarget. In
the future we will probably also need to move the include and compile
definitions API back to cmTarget so that it can be used by export().
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 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.
Header files listed in a target's PUBLIC_HEADER or similar properties
are marked as OS X Framework content. Refactoring performed by
commit 11d9b211 (Add cmGeneratorTarget to represent a target during generation, 2012-03-07)
commit 45c2f932 (Simplify cmMakefileTargetGenerator using cmGeneratorTarget, 2012-03-07)
commit 328c0f65 (Simplify cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator source classification, 2012-03-19)
and related commits accidentally removed such files from treatment as
normal header files by the VS generator (generators other than Makefiles
and Xcode). Move handling of such files out of cmGeneratorTarget and
back to cmMakefileTargetGenerator. The central cmGeneratorTarget
classification will always treat them as header or extra sources.
Commit 328c0f65 (Simplify cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator source
classification, 2012-03-19) introduced the first use of source
classification from cmGeneratorTarget (which originated as Makefile
generator logic) in a Visual Studio generator for handling of header
files. Fix classification of header files to match known header
extensions instead of only the HEADER_FILE_ONLY property. Make it
consistent with the "Header Files" source group.
Refactoring by commit 11d9b211 (Add cmGeneratorTarget to represent a
target during generation, 2012-03-07) and commit 45c2f932 (Simplify
cmMakefileTargetGenerator using cmGeneratorTarget, 2012-03-07) preserved
behavior introduced by commit 7740ccd1 (some cleanup of the makefile
generator, 2006-02-14) that favored the IgnoreFile extension test over
the availability of a known compilation language associated with a
source file. If a source is not marked as HEADER_FILE_ONLY and has a
known language extension or an explicit LANGUAGE property it should be
treated as that language. The LANGUAGE source file property
documentation says so.
Combine WriteCLSources and WriteObjSources into a single method. Use
the cmGeneratorTarget source classification to simplify tool selection
for each source file. Extend the classification to handle .idl files.
Necessary for the Xcode generator, in which the CMakeLists.txt
files are added as sources merely for convenient access, without
any associated custom command.
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.
Some per-target information and logic is common to all generators.
Some of that information is currently stored in cmTarget but that
should be reserved for the configure step. Create a class to hold
per-target information for generators. On construction classify
sources from the target and store them in separate members. This
classification is already implemented separately in each generator.
