We recognize .def source files and map them to the /DEF:<file> option in
the MSVC tools. Previously this worked only for shared libraries. This
commit cleans up the implementation and makes it work for executables
too. See issue #9613.
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.
Some vendor tools convert PDB file names given on the command line to
lower-case before creating the file. When CMake places a mixed-case PDB
file name into the build system, the file does not exist the first time
and it is written with mixed case. After the first build though the
native tool has created a lower-case version of the file. If CMake does
CollapseFullPath again, the file exists so the actual-case lookup gets
the lower-case name. This causes the build files to change so the
project rebuilds.
The solution is to avoid calling CollapseFullPath for files generated by
the build. In the case of PDB files we already construct them from
paths that have been collapsed, so we can just skip the call altogether.
See issue #9350.
This teaches the makefile generators to always pass the configuration
name to the cmTarget::GetDirectory method. Later this will allow
per-configuration target output directories, and it cleans up use of the
current API.
This member stores the build configuration for which Makefiles are being
generated. It saves repeated lookup of the equivalent member from
cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3, making code shorter and more readable.
This cleans up the Makefile generator's progress rule code. Instead of
keeping every cmMakefileTargetGenerator instance alive to generate
progress, we keep only the information necessary in a single table.
This approach keeps most of the code in cmGlobalUnixMakefileGenerator3,
thus simplifying its public interface.
This creates global property RULE_MESSAGES which can be set to disbale
per-rule progress and action reporting. On Windows, these reports may
cause a noticable delay due to the cost of starting extra processes.
This feature will allow scripted builds to avoid the cost since they do
not need detailed information anyway. This replaces the RULE_PROGRESS
property created earlier as it is more complete. See issue #8726.
This creates global property RULE_PROGRESS which can be set to disbale
per-rule progress reporting. On Windows, progress reports may cause a
noticable delay due to the cost of starting an extra process. This
feature will allow scripted builds to avoid the cost since they do not
need detailed progress anyway. See issue #8726.
The <target>_EXPORTS macro defined for object files when built in a
shared library <target> should be put in the <DEFINES> make rule
replacement and not <FLAGS>. Also, it should honor the platform
variable CMAKE_<LANG>_DEFINE_FLAG. See issue #8107.
This defines global, directory, and target properties
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE, RULE_LAUNCH_LINK, and RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM. Their
values specify 'launcher' command lines which are prefixed to compile,
link, and custom build rules by Makefile generators.
This gives the cmTarget instance for which custom command rules are
being generated to cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3::AppendCustomCommands.
It will be useful in the future.
The recent change to avoid expanding rule variables in informational and
'cd' commands broke the logical order in generation of preprocess and
assembly rules. This corrects the order.
Previously the makefile generator would expand rule variables even on
its progress and echo commands for object compilation rules (but not for
link rules). This fixes the implementation to only expand rule
variables on user-specified rules.
This simplifies computation of custom command rule hashes to hash
content exactly chosen as the custom commands are generated.
Unfortunately this will change the hashes of existing build trees from
earlier CMake versions, but this is not a big deal. The change is
necessary so that in the future we can make optional adjustments to
custom command lines at generate time without changing the hashes every
time the option is changed.
We use response files to list object files for the MSVC linker. The
linker complains if any response file is greater than 128K, so we split
the object file lists into multiple response files.
Previously generation of object file lists for linker and cleaning
command lines was duplicated for library and executable target
generators. This combines the implementations.
These changes refactor cmLocalGenerator methods Convert and
ConvertToOutputForExisting to support references inside the build tree
using relative paths. After this commit, all tests pass with Makefile
generators when relative paths are enabled by default. See issue #7779.
- The rule hash should use only commands specified by the user.
- No make output (echo and progress) rules should be included.
- No outputs or dependencies need be included. The native build tool
will take care of them.
- In CMake 2.4 custom commands would not rebuild when rules changed.
- In CMake 2.6.0 custom commands have a dependency on build.make
which causes them to rebuild when changed, but also when any
source is added or removed. This is too often.
- We cannot have a per-rule file because Windows filesystems
do not deal well with lots of small files.
- Instead we add a persistent CMakeFiles/CMakeRuleHashes.txt file
at the top of the build tree that is updated during each
CMake Generate step. It records a hash of the build rule for
each file to be built. When the hash changes the file is
removed so that it will be rebuilt.
- Allows make rules to be created with no dependencies.
- Such rules will not re-run even if the commands themselves change.
- Useful to create rules that run only if the output is missing.
- Place the built library in foo.framework/Versions/A/foo
- Do not create unused content symlinks (like PrivateHeaders)
- Do not use VERSION/SOVERSION properties for frameworks
- Make cmTarget::GetDirectory return by value
- Remove the foo.framework part from cmTarget::GetDirectory
- Correct install_name construction and conversion on install
- Fix MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION under Xcode to use the
Versions/<version> directory for frameworks
- Update the Framework test to try these things
- Use a response file when enabled by
CMAKE_<LANG>_USE_RESPONSE_FILE_FOR_OBJECTS
- Enable for C and CXX with cl (MSVC)
- Enable for Fortran with ifort (Intel Fortran)
- Fixes repeated rebuild of bundles by Makefile generators
- Add special rules to copy sources to their
MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION bundle directory
- Remove MacOSX_Content language hack
- Remove EXTRA_CONTENT property
- Remove MACOSX_CONTENT
- Remove corresponding special cases in object names
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
- Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
- Include soname of shared libraries in import information
- Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
- Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
- Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
- Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
- Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
- Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
- Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
- Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
- Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
- Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends
