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.
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.
Teach the WriteGroup method return true if a group or any of its
children have source files. Have children write their output to a
temporay cmOStringStream. Add it to the real output only if not empty.

Since commit 328c0f65 (Simplify cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator source
classification, 2012-03-19) the VS 10 generator uses the
cmGeneratorTarget source classification instead of directly getting the
list of source files from the target. This accidentally dropped the
CMakeLists.txt files from generated projects because they are added too
late for cmGeneratorTarget.
All generator-specific source files must be added to targets prior to
cmGeneratorTarget construction. Refactor addition of the CMakeLists.txt
files with CMake re-run custom commands to take place before normal
generation begins, and therefore early enough to be included in the
cmGeneratorTarget classification.
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.
Treat OBJECT libraries as STATIC libraries. The VS project file format
provides no way to avoid running the librarian so hide the resulting
.lib away next to the object files as it should never be referenced.
The object files will be left behind for reference by other targets
later.
Implement cmGlobalGenerator::ComputeTargetObjects in the VS generator
to pre-compute all the object file names. Use the results during
generation instead of re-computing it later.

group calculation now that it is not needed for computing object names.
Remove partial implementation added by commit ca0230a3 (check in initial
conv library stuff, 2007-02-16) since it was never finished. It does
not make sense for multi-configuration generators since no specific
build configuration is processed at CMake time.
Eliminate callers of cmMakefile::GetIncludeDirectories.
All callers of GetIncludeDirectories should go through the local generator
object.
Only the local generator calls cmTarget::GetIncludeDirectories directly.
For Visual Studio using the Preprocessor Define _SBCS. This behavior
is similar to the way that _UNICODE and _MBCS work already.
Added tests to confirm this behavior.
Commit 1be4b6f4 (Order VS local generator Version ivar values
consistently, 2011-11-10) fixed the Version ivar of the VS 10 local
generator by setting it correctly to 10 instead of leaving it at 7.
This broke generation of .vfproj files for the Intel Fortran plugin to
VS 10 by mixing VS 9 and 10 formats together in one file. Teach the
local generator to pretend the Version is 9 for Intel Fortran targets.
Move the Version member to the top cmLocalVisualStudioGenerator class
and set it consistently for instances created by all the global
generator versions. Use an enumeration type with values scaled by a
factor of 10 so we can handle VS 7.1 without out-of-order numbers.
VS 7.1 support for SuppressStartupBanner was broken by commit 25116a3c
(Fix CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE for VS10 vcxproj files, 2011-10-11) because
it assumed comparison of VS version numbers works. Now it does.
As Dave Cole pointed out the previous commit only checked for 10.x and 12.x.
11.0 was accounted for, but 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 were not. This patch
should make it work for those versions as well. I did a web check and there
are 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 versions from Intel. I assume if 12.x uses
11.0 as the version in the .vfproj file, then all of the 11.x versions would
as well.
The intel compiler for 12.0 and 12.1 are known to expect the file version
to be 11.0 in the .vfproj file. For 10.x it should be 9.10. Prior to
this fix 12.0 and 10.1 were the only values checked. If those did not match
the actual version of intel was put in the vfproj file causing an error
about future version load attempt in the IDE.
Define a "Fortran_FORMAT" target and source file property. Initialize
the target property from a "CMAKE_Fortran_FORMAT" variable. Interpret
values "FIXED" and "FREE" to indicate the source file format. Append
corresponding flags to the compiler command line.

Makes VS 7, 8 and 9 generators consistent with the VS 10

For custom commands in VS2010 Fortran projects the INTDIR variable
is different than in the rest of the solution because Intel
fortran still uses the old VS project files even in VS2010. So,
we replace $(Configuration) directly in the project files. I have also
added a FortranOnly test that tests this feature and is run on any
generator that has Fortran abilities.
Thanks to Pau Garcia i Quiles for the inspiration for the patch.
I've tweaked it a bit compared to what's in the bug tracker: this
commit does not allow empty global variable names.
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.
The Intel Fortran plugin forgets to create the output directory into
which it will write a DLL's import library. Utilize the fix added by

and generalized by commit 764ac980 (Generalize exe implib dir creation

262da91 Prohibit space in HOME value for VSMidl test.
13caaa3 VS10: Finish Midl support (#11461)
This commit addresses all of the following:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8165http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10687http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11311http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11461
With this commit, the midl support for VS10 is as
complete as midl support ever was for VS9 and earlier.
The VSMidl test should run on all Visual Studio
generator based dashboards.
CMake no longer sends C++ compiler /D flag values
to the midl compiler in Visual Studio generated
projects. I think if we want to add that in the
future, we should add a way to pass midl compiler
specific flags and perhaps an optional way to add
in the C++ definitions, too. For now, not sending
them along gets past the immediate problem wherein
idl files in a CMake VS generated project just didn't
work at all.
The VSMidl test added in this commit was inspired by
the patch attached to 8165.
The test had to be modified such that it will run in
a directory whose name contains no spaces. There is an
existing bug filed against VS10's midl asking Microsoft
to fix that problem. But for now, the test added in this
commit works by copying the source directory to a location
that avoids spaces in the directory names.

Look for the "/threads", "/libs:dll", and "/dbglibs" flags and convert
them to the proper RuntimeLibrary attribute value in the IDE. This is
a 3-to-1 flag mapping and such needs special handling in the parser.
The SubSystem attribute value must be "subSystemConsole" or
"subSystemWindows", not "1" or "2". Commit 20f49730 (Reset
platform/compiler info status for each language, 2010-09-28) exposed
this bug by (correctly) passing the /libs:dll flag to the compiler,
which chokes the linker if a value for "/subsystem:" is not given.
I naively assumed in my previous commit that the Convert call
would correctly convert a relative path file name correctly
relative to the makefile's current output directory. It actually
converts it relative to the process's current working directory.
So it would be different depending on how you launched cmake-gui.
This commit ensures that the generated files are always the same
by starting with a full path to begin with, based on the makefile
GetCurrentOutputDirectory method.
This is especially important for the Visual Studio 10
generator and its quirky current working directory
behavior.
Also, emit more information about exactly what files are
out of date when cmakeCheckStampFile returns false.
The PDB file name for VCLinkerTool is specified by the xml attribute
"ProgramDatabaseFile", not "ProgramDataBaseFile" (note the lower-case
character 'b'). VS seems to cope with the incorrect capitalization but
the combination of VS 7.1 and Incredibuild does not. See issue #10614.
The Intel Fortran plugin to VS defines VFFortranCompilerTool as the
compiler tool. This commit fixes generated projects to use that tool
for per-source settings instead of VCCLCompilerTool. We were already
using it for target-wide compiler settings.
In VS 8 and greater this commit implements
add_dependencies(myexe mylib) # depend without linking
by adding the
LinkLibraryDependencies="false"
option to project files. Previously the above code would cause myexe to
link to mylib in VS 8 and greater. This option prevents dependencies
specified only in the solution from being linked. We already specify
the real link library dependencies in the project files, and any project
depending on this to link would not have worked in Makefile generators.
We were already avoiding this problem in VS 7.1 and below by inserting
intermediate mylib_UTILITY targets. It was more important for those
versions because if a static library depended on another library the
librarian would copy the dependees into the depender! This is no longer
the case with VS 8 and above so we do not need that workaround.
See issue #9732.
In Visual Studio project files we pass compiler flags to the whole
target based on the linker language, which works for MS tools and
combinations of C and C++. For the Intel Fortran plugin though the
generated .vfproj files should never contain C or C++ options.
We generate .vfproj files only for targets consisting only of Fortran
code. Now that the linker language is computed transitively through
linking it is possible that the linker language is C++ for an otherwise
Fortran-only project. This commit forces Fortran as the linker language
for the purpose of specifying target-wide flags in .vfproj files.
See issue #9719.
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.
The commit "Generate proper Intel Fortran project version" replaced the
hard-coded 9.10 value with a runtime registry lookup of the real
version. Version 10.1 actually uses project file format 9.10, so this
commit switches it back for that version. See issue #9169.
The Intel Visual Fortran compiler plugin for MS Visual Studio may be one
of several versions of the Intel compiler. This commit teaches CMake to
detect the plugin version and set the version number in .vfproj files.
See issue #9169.
CMake Makefile generators silently ignore missing CMakeLists.txt files
and just treat the source directory as if it had an empty input file.
This will be addressed with a new CMake Policy, but for now we make the
VS generator consistent with the Makefile generator behavior. The VS
generator will need to handle the OLD behavior of the policy anyway.
This passes the build configuration to most GetLinkerLanguage calls. In
the future the linker language will account for targets linked in each
configuration.
This method previously required the global generator to be passed, but
that was left from before cmTarget had its Makefile member. Now the
global generator can be retrieved automatically, so we can drop the
method argument.
Since utility targets have no main output files like executables or
libraries, they do not define an output directory. This removes a call
to cmTarget::GetDirectory from cmLocalVisualStudio{6,7}Generator for
such targets.
This moves creation of an executable's import library directory in VS
projects from the pre-build step to the pre-link step. It makes sense
to create the directory at the last moment.
In VS 7,8,9 executable targets we generate a build event to create the
output directory for the import library in case the executable marks
symbols with dllexport (VS forgets to create this directory). This
generalizes computation of the custom command line to support future use
with other VS versions.
If an executable marks symbols with __declspec(dllexport) then VS
creates an import library for it. However, it forgets to create the
directory that will contain the import library if it is different from
the location of the executable. We work around this VS bug by creating
a pre-build event on the executable target to make the directory.
In cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator we generate pre-build, pre-link, and
post-build events into project files. This refactors the generation
code for the three event types into a private EventWriter class to avoid
duplicate code.
When computing the maximum length full path to the build directory under
which object files will be placed, pass the actual path instead of just
its length. This will be useful for error message generation.
