Transitively consume the property from linked dependents.
Implement configuration-specific support by following the pattern
set out for compile definitions and includes in cmQtAutoGenerators.
Implement support for origin-tracking with CMAKE_DEBUG_TARGET_PROPERTIES.
This is motivated by the needs of KDE, which provides a separate
translation system based on gettext instead of the Qt linguist
translation system. The Qt uic tool provides command line options
for configuring the method used to translate text, and to add an
include directive to the generated file to provide the method.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.frameworks/7930/focus=7992
Implement the interface to provide the uic options as a usage-requirement
on the KI18n target, as designed for KDE.
As an INTERFACE_LIBRARY has no direct link dependencies, we can
short-circuit in cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator and
in cmGlobalGenerator::CheckLocalGenerators.
As they do not generate any output directly, any generate- or install-
related code acn also be short-circuited. Many of the local generators
already do this.
Because only INTERFACE related properties make sense on INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets, avoid setting other properties, for example via defaults.

Since cmTarget::SetMakefile already forces CMP0022 to NEW for such
targets we need no special handling.

Resolve conflicts in
Tests/RunCMake/CMP0022/CMP0022-WARN-empty-old-stderr.txt
Tests/RunCMake/CMP0022/RunCMakeTest.cmake
by taking the side from the 'policy-CMP0022-fixes' branch.
Since cmTarget::ComputeLinkInterface is called separately for each
"head" target that links a target, the warning we produce when
CMP0022 is not set could be repeated. Add explicit logic to allow
the warning to appear at most once. Multiple copies of the warning
for the same target are almost always identical and therefore
redundant. In the rare case that two copies of the warning are
different, the second can appear in a future run after the first
is fixed.
The CMP0022 NEW behavior is that the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property
exactly defines the link interface. The plain target_link_libraries
signature says linking is transitive by default, so it should populate
the property.
Teach the target_link_libraries plain signature to populate the
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES regardless of the CMP0022 setting. Refactor
the cmTarget::ComputeLinkInterface checks that warn when the policy is
not set to compare the new property to either the explicitly set old
link interface properties or the link implementation fallback for all
linkable target types, not just static libraries.
This fixes a regression in 2.8.12.0 that caused target_link_libraries to
not implement transitive linking in the plain signature once the policy
CMP0022 is set to NEW.
This has follow-on effects for other methods and classes. Further
work on making the use of const cmTarget pointers common can be
done, particularly with a view to generate-time methods.
It only generates a default constructed SourceEntry for each
cmSourceFile.
this->Internal->SourceEntries[sf];
in cmTargetTraceDependencies::Trace has the same effect, and is called
early in generation-time for each source file anyway.

Only valid target names or generator expressions may appear in

Other content like link flags should still be added to that property
(wrapped in config-specific generator expressions), but not wrapped
in LINK_ONLY. Otherwise undue warnings would be issued for the
policy CMP0022.
The LINK_ONLY expression only has an effect for actual target
names anyway, so there is no logical deficit.
The source files are already processed by cmQtAutomoc to look for
moc includes, so extend that to also look for ui_ includes and
find corresponding .ui files to process.
This replaces the need to invoke qt4_wrap_ui().
As the ui files are not likely to be part of the SOURCES of the
target, store the options associated with them separately in the
cmMakefile for querying during the autogen run.
When using the boost MPL library, one can set a define to increase
the limit of how many variadic elements should be supported. The
default for BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE is 20:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/limit-vector-size.html
If the foo library requires that to be set to 30, and the independent
bar library requires it to be set to 40, consumers of both need to set
it to 40.
add_library(foo INTERFACE)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 30)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
target_compile_definitions(foo INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)
add_library(bar INTERFACE)
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 40)
# Technically the next two lines are redundant, but as foo and bar are
# independent, they both set these interfaces.
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
target_compile_definitions(bar INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)
add_executable(user)
target_link_libraries(user foo bar)
Because the TARGET_PROPERTY reads the boost_mpl_vector_size property
from the HEAD of the dependency graph (the user target), and because
that property appears in the COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX of
the dependencies of the user target, the maximum value for it is
chosen for the compile definition, ie, 40.
There are also use-cases for choosing the minimum value of a number.
In Qt, deprecated API can be disabled by version. Setting the
definition QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0 disables no deprecated
API. Setting it to 0x501000 disables API which was deprecated before
Qt 5.1 etc.
If two dependencies require the use of API which was deprecated in
different Qt versions, then COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MIN can be
used to ensure that both can compile.
Otherwise, in the string case, we would get a null pointer instead
of the implied empty string. That will become relevant when the
comparison result is used.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
Other warnings for the same policy already have similar output since
commit 81d2793e (Add differing target property content to policy CMP0022
warning, 2013-09-11).
Introduce a policy to control the behavior.
The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a
double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport
test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.
The result is that the depends of the target are created.
So,
add_library(somelib foo.cpp)
add_library(anotherlib EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL foo.cpp)
add_library(extra EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL foo.cpp)
target_link_libraries(anotherlib extra)
add_library(iface INTERFACE)
target_link_libraries(iface INTERFACE anotherlib)
Executing 'make iface' will result in the anotherlib and extra targets
being made.
Adding a regular executable to the INTERFACE of an INTERFACE_LIBRARY
will not result in the executable being built with 'make iface' because
of the logic in cmComputeTargetDepends::AddTargetDepend.
So far, this is implemented only for the Makefile generator. Other
generators will follow if this feature is possible for them.
Make INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets part of the all target by default.
Test this by building the all target and making the expected library
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL.
Drop all DefineProperty calls for non-chained properties. Drop the
documentation from the chained ones. The documentation for all
properties is now in Help/prop_*/*.rst files.
These checks want to know if named target properties are builtin, which
is now known by checking the Help/prop_tgt directory. (Previously the
check could be confused by a define_property call in the project.)
The final location and name of a build-target is not determined
until generate-time. However, reading the LOCATION property from
a target is currently allowed at configure time. Apart from creating
possibly-erroneous results, this has an impact on the implementation
of cmake itself, and prevents some major cleanups from being made.
Disallow reading LOCATION from build-targets with a policy. Port some
existing uses of it in CMake itself to use the TARGET_FILE generator
expression.
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.
6931999 VS6: Add some delimiting between error message and content.
d1a5f12 cmTarget: Fix typo in comment.
961c0ba Fix comments to match the code.
7cca50c Remove unused include.
We populate and maintain a vector of structs to keep track of
backtraces already, so no need to populate the Properties container
additionally.
For completeness, it is necessary to remove the condition for
populating the vector for only valid library names and generator
expressions. That condition is now determined when evaluating the
generator expressions.
Exclude Ninja and Xcode from the CMP0021 test
They do not behave the same as the makefile generator with
relative paths.
Don't overwrite the header file for in-source builds.
With this, projects can enable MACOSX_RPATH by default, but still have
a way to install libraries with no install name dirs into locations
such as /usr/local/lib by setting INSTALL_NAME_DIR="".
* 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.
Add a new signature to help populate INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES and
LINK_LIBRARIES cleanly in a single call. Add policy CMP0023 to control
whether the keyword signatures can be mixed with uses of the plain
signatures on the same target.
It accepted an optional argument to test for equality, but no way
to get the linker language of a particular target.
TARGET_PROPERTY provides this flexibility and STREQUAL provides
the necessary API for equality test.

Unlike other target properties, this does not have a corresponding

This allows propagation of system attribute on include directories
from link dependents.
Drop the "vsProjectFile" argument from cmTarget::TraceDependencies. It
appears to be the modern equivalent to a hunk added in commit ba68f771
(...added new custom command support, 2003-06-03):
+ name = libName;
+ name += ".dsp.cmake";
+ srcFilesToProcess.push(name);
but was broken by refactoring at some point. The current behavior tries
to trace dependencies on a source file named the same as a target, which
makes no sense. Furthermore, in code of the form
add_executable(foo foo.c)
add_custom_command(OUTPUT "${somewhere}/foo" ... DEPENDS foo)
the "vsProjectFile" value "foo" matches source "${somewhere}/foo.rule"
generated to hold the custom command and causes the command to be added
to the "foo" target incorrectly.
Simply drop the incorrect source file trace and supporting logic.

afc9243 Add an overload of cmIDEOptions::AddDefines taking a vector of strings.
d95651e Overload cmLocalGenerator::AppendDefines to add a list.
Use constructs similar to those for COMPILE_OPTIONS. This is a little
different because there is a command to remove_definitions(), so
we can't populate the equivalent target property until generate-time
in cmGlobalGenerator.
Use preprocessor loops and add a unit test for the appropriate
policies. All policies whose value is recorded at target creation
time should be part of this list.
Always populate the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES for interface
entries. Don't populate the old interface properties
matching (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?
if CMP0022 is NEW.
Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is now populated by
the target_link_libraries when operating on a static library,
make an equivalent change which populates the property with
the same value when the old link_libraries() command is used. This
silences the policy warning in that case.
This property is generated only for targets which have recorded
policy CMP0022 as NEW, and a compatibility mode is added to
additionally export the old interfaces in that case too.
If the old interfaces are not exported, the generated export files
require CMake 2.8.12. Because the unit tests use a version which
is not yet called 2.8.12, temporarily require a lower version.
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.
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.
This has been requested, along with a patch, by Shaun Williams
in http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13788 .
It adds a global property AUTOMOC_TARGETS_FOLDER, which can
be used to group the automoc targets together in a folder e.g.
in Visual Studio.
Alex
This command is similar to add_definitions, in that it affects
the compile options of all targets which follow it. The implementation
is similar to the implementation of the include_directories command,
in that it is based on populating a COMPILE_OPTIONS directory property
and using that to initialize the same property on targets.
Unlike the include_directories command however, the add_compile_options
command does not affect previously defined targets. That is, in
the following code, foo will not be compiled with -Wall, but bar
will be:
add_library(foo ...)
add_compile_options(-Wall)
add_library(bar ...)
dc1d025 OS X: Add test for rpaths on Mac.
8576b3f OS X: Add support for @rpath in export files.
00d71bd Xcode: Add rpath support in Xcode generator.
94e7fef OS X: Add RPATH support for Mac.
RPATH support is activated on targets that have the MACOSX_RPATH
property turned on.
For install time, it is also useful to set INSTALL_RPATH to help
find dependent libraries with an @rpath in their install name.
Also adding detection of rpath conflicts when using frameworks.
This fixes bug #13797.
The kinds of changes applied in 373faae5 for frameworks are now
applied to CFBundle. The prefix and suffix for CFBundles are
now handled in cmTarget::GetFullNameInternal.
This corresponds to the g++ and clang++
option -fvisibility-inlines-hidden on linux. On Windows with MinGW,
this corresponds to -fno-keep-inline-dllexport. That option is
not supported by clang currently.
This is initialized by CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET. The target
property is used as the operand to the -fvisibility= compile option
with GNU compilers and clang.
They can't be used when evaluating link libraries, but they can be
used for include directories and compile definitions. Later they can
be used for compile options.
Make handling of directory separators consistent between
non-bundle and bundle code.
Remove xcode specific flag from cmTarget when getting install_name.
Add (more) consistent convenience functions in cmTarget to get
directories inside of bundles and frameworks to add files to.
This refactor also fixes bug #12263 where frameworks
had the wrong install name when SKIP_BUILD_RPATH.
Also make install_name for frameworks consistent between Makefile
and Xcode generator.
This allows for example, the buildsystem to use names like 'boost_any'
instead of the overly generic 'any', and still be able to generate
IMPORTED targets called 'boost::any'.
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 $<TARGET_PROPERTY:...> will not be evaluated with an empty
target.
Maintain a target's internal list of usage requirement include
directories whenever the LINK_LIBRARIES property is set by either
target_link_libraries or set_property.
The MS tools create two types of PDB files as explained here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.71%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.80%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.90%29.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yd4f8bd1%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
One is created by the compiler (/Fd) and the other by the linker (/pdb).
The two options should not specify the same file. Split them up.
In the VS IDE generators, simply drop ProgramDataBaseFileName to
take the VS default "/Fd$(IntDir)vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion).pdb".
In the Makefile generators, set "/Fd" on the compile line to be
the directory containing object files (with a trailing slash the
compiler will add the "vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion).pdb" filename
automatically). Drop the /Fd option from the exe link command
line and add "/pdb" instead (already done for dll linking).
Update these rules for both MSVC and Intel tools.
Drop support for PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and PDB_NAME in STATIC
libraries because the generated .pdb files are only from /Fd
and not real linker-generated .pdb files. Update documentation to
clarify that the PDB_* properties are only for linker .pdb files.
This regresses the PDBDirectoryAndName test for STATIC libraries.
Since it is not clear at this time what should be done for STATIC
library .pdb files, comment out the relevant portion of the test
and leave a TODO comment.
We can do this check only if the TargetName is non-empty, which means
that we're evaluating INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES from a linked
dependency which was set using target_link_libraries.
It is possible to have relative paths in INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES already
in CMake 2.8.10.2, so that part will require a policy to fix.
It is considered an error if the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES contains
a directory which does not exist, which indicates a programmer error
by the upstream, or a packaging error.
One of the RunCMake.CompatibleInterface tests also needs to be updated
due to this change. Non-existant includes were used in the test, but
are not needed.
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.
Rename the variable added by commit 9ce1b9ef (Add
CMAKE_BUILD_INTERFACE_INCLUDES build-variable, 2012-11-25) to
CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR_IN_INTERFACE to be more consistent with the
existing CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR variable.

Commit a1c4905f (Use the link information as a source of compile
definitions and includes., 2013-02-12) introduced the use of link
information as the source of target properties via the TARGET_PROPERTY
generator expression. This generator expression has a strict
interpretation of a valid target name and emits a fatal error for
invalid names.
Ensure that only targets with names valid for use with TARGET_PROPERTY
or targets which are determined by generator expressions are processed
by it. This means that at worst, invalid target names do not participate
in the transitive evaluation of properties, but the validation
generator expression can be extended where needed to resolve that.
As of commit 1da75022 (Don't include generator expressions in
old-style link handling., 2012-12-23), such entries are not
included in the LinkLibraries member. Generator expressions in
LinkLibraries are not processed anyway, so port to the new way
of getting link information.
This is similar in spirit to commit e48d8420 (Cache context-independent
includes on evaluation., 2013-02-03), but it is needed since commit
a1c4905f (Use the link information as a source of compile definitions
and includes., 2013-02-12), which changed how includes and defines
are determined. As they are now determined through the link interface,
we need to cache the result of evaluating them through that.
In the case of the includes, the result was already being cached
and then immediately disposed. Store the result as a member variable
instead to make use of the caching.
After evaluating the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, of a target in a
generator expression, also read the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of
its link interface dependencies.
That means that code such as this will result in the 'user' target
using /bar/include and /foo/include:
add_library(foo ...)
target_include_directories(foo INTERFACE /foo/include)
add_library(bar ...)
target_include_directories(bar INTERFACE /bar/include)
target_link_libraries(bar LINK_PUBLIC foo)
add_executable(user ...)
target_include_directories(user PRIVATE
$<TARGET_PROPERTY:bar,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
Also process the interface include directories from direct link
dependencies for in-build targets.
The situation is similar for the INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS. The
include directories related code is currently more complex because
we also need to store a backtrace at configure-time for the purpose
of debugging includes. The compile definitions related code will use
the same pattern in the future.
This is not a change in behavior, as existing code has the same effect,
but that existing code will be removed in follow-up commits.
This is needed in the case that Automoc is used, as that calls
GetIncludeDirectories, which may cache the resulting include dirs
too early in the generate step.
Also, because the automoc step is so early, we can't cache the
include directories at that point. At that point the build interface
of all dependencies are not populated yet, so we'd be caching the
includes before appending the build interface. Only start caching
when we're definitely generating the buildsystem. At that point, the
includes should be stable.
We still need to invoke AppendBuildInterfaceIncludes
in the GlobalGenerator because the build interface includes affect
mostly the dependencies of targets (such as the automoc targets),
rather than the targets themselves, so the build interface needs
to be appended for all targets before generation is done.
This tracking was added during the development of commit 042ecf04
(Add API to calculate link-interface-dependent bool properties
or error., 2013-01-06), but was never used.
It was not necessary to use the content because what is really
useful in that logic is to determine if a property has been implied
to be null by appearing in a LINK_LIBRARIES genex.
I think the motivating usecase for developing the feature of
keeping track of the targets relevant to a property was that I
thought it would make it possible to allow requiring granular
compatibility of interface properties only for targets which
depended on the interface property. Eg:
add_library(foo ...)
add_library(bar ...)
add_executable(user ...)
# Read the INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE from bar, but not
# from foo:
target_link_libraries(user foo $<$<TARGET_PROPERTY:POSTITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE>:bar>)
This obviously doesn't make sense. We require that INTERFACE
properties are consistent across all linked targets instead.

The commit 18a3195a ('Keep track of INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES as a vector
of structs.', 2012-11-19) moved the handling of includes from
cmGeneratorTarget to cmTarget, but in the process introduced this
bug.
Generator expressions whose output depends on the configuration
now record that fact. The GetIncludeDirectories method can use
that result to cache the include directories for later calls.
GetIncludeDirectories is called multiple times for a target
for each configuration, so this should restore performance for
multi-config generators.
6063fef Output include directories as LOG messages, not warnings.
aa66748 Specify the target whose includes are being listed.
d70204a Only output includes once after the start of 'generate-time' when debugging.
0d46e9a Store includes from the same include_directories call together.
During configure-time, GetIncludeDirectories may be called too, for example
if using the export() command. As the content can be different, it should
be output each time then.
The cache here needs to be cleared if GetLinkInformation is called
at configure-time, such as during an export().
The next commit does exactly that, and without this patch,
the LinkLanguage test would fail.
It is not necessary and the current state is unintentional. Before
this patch,
target_link_libraries(foo bar)
causes the LINK_LIBRARIES property of foo to contain
$<TARGET_NAME:bar>
instead of just
bar

Don't add generator expressions to variables which are used
for CMP0003, CMP0004, and the old-style _LIB_DEPENDS content. They
will not be evaluated when read anyway and would probably confuse
the code reading them.
This makes it legitimate to use target_link_libraries with generator
expressions as arguments.
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.
CMake does not automatically pass the Fortran module output directory
location to the module search path. Add a note to the documentation
that the location must also be specified by INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.
