Explain in the documentation for the legacy signature
target_link_libraries(foo bar)
that the other signatures like
target_link_libraries(foo LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES ...)
target_link_libraries(foo LINK_PRIVATE ...)
will set the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES target property and therefore make
libraries specified only by the legacy signature private.
These interface-related link-libraries properties are used to determine
the value of the other INTERFACE properties, so we were getting infinite
recursion and segfaults otherwise.

With similar reasoning to the parent commit, as downstreams, we can't
determine what $<CONFIG> generator expressions would be appropriate.
Upstream would have populated the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES with
config-specific generator expressions, possibly appropriate for
their DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS. In theory, if we would add include
directories for a DEBUG intent, we would have to match the upstream
configurations for that.
Rather than attempting to discover the appropriate configurations
at this time, simplify the feature instead. The use of IMPORTED targets
with these commands could still be added in the future if targets
would export their DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS somehow.
This reverts commit 9cfe4f1b76.
It turns out that correctly adding the content to
the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBARIES_<CONFIG> of an upstream target
from the buildsystem of a downstream project is not simple.
If upstream had added the INTERFACE content, the config-specific
properties would be determined by the DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS of
upstream.
As downstream, we don't have any information about what
the DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS of upstream were, so we can't determine
which configuration-specific properties to populate. The best we can do
is add it to all of them or add it to the ones downstream considers to
be DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS, neither of which is a good solution.
So, removing the porcelain API for that is the best approach. A human
can still determine which properties to populate and use
the set_property API to populate the desired properies.
Another solution to this would be for upstream targets to publish
what they consider DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS, but that can be added in
a future release.
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.
Otherwise, we get a separate IncludeDirectoriesEntry for each include,
and that causes unnecessary and confusing splitting in the output when
debugging the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property.
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
This new expression allows checking how a policy was set when a target
was created. That information is only recorded for a subset of policies,
so a whitelist is used.

the code reading them.

expressions as arguments.

In the implementation of "cmake -E cmake_link_script", skip lines from
the input file that are empty or contain only whitespace. Do not try to
run a child with no command line.
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.
Now that we're processing a LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES string, it
can contain targets. Make sure they are extracted for
namespacing purposes.
This needs to be restricted to strings which can actually have
targets named in them. For example, this is not done for
INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS, because even if there is a target
named 'foo', the string 'foo' in that property means that '-Dfoo'
will be set when compiling.

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.
This makes
set(CMAKE_BUILD_INTERFACE_INCLUDES ON)
add the equivalent of
set_property(TARGET tgt APPEND PROPERTY
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR};${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}>
)
to every target.
If the headers are in CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR, and the generated headers
are in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR, this is a convenient way to build a target
bar, which depends on foo, just by using target_link_libraries() and adding
the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES to the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the target
being linked. There will be more-convenient porcelain API to consume the
property in the future.
This makes it possible to use:
target_link_libraries(foo LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES bar)
where foo is an IMPORTED target. Other tll() signatures are not
allowed.
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.

Since commit 9a6ff950 (Fix for bug where VS2010 did not use .obj files as
part of the build, 2011-04-01) and commit b291d9e7 (VS10: Fix external
objects generated outside target, 2012-03-19) we try to detect whether an
external object file is also a custom command output in the same target.
This is because VS10 includes .obj custom command outputs on the link line
by default.
VS 11 supports a "<LinkObjects ...>false</LinkObjects>" setting in custom
command rules to tell VS not to link the outputs. From the VS help:
Specify whether the Inputs and output files with specific extensions (.obj,
.lib, .res, .rsc) are passed to the linker.
Treat all external object files the same and add "<Object>" settings for them.
The member variable is checked to determine whether to call
HandleMissingTarget(). As that could be called during the loop in
the comming commits, ensure that it contains all targets being
exported.
Constructs such as these are an error as they are direct self-references:
set_property(TARGET foo APPEND PROPERTY
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES $<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
set_property(TARGET foo APPEND PROPERTY
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES $<TARGET_PROPERTY:INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
However, this is an indirect self-reference in a cycle, and not an error:
set_property(TARGET foo APPEND PROPERTY
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES $<TARGET_PROPERTY:bar,INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
set_property(TARGET bar APPEND PROPERTY
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES $<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
The TARGET_NAME expression, which requires a literal, provides
target names. $<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop> also provides target
names in the cases where tgt is a literal, so that TARGET_NAME is
not needed then in addition.
This is for specifying INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES relevant to the build-location
or the install location for example:
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
"$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR};${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}>"
"$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include>"
)
A 'bar' target can then use:
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
"$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>"
)
and it will work whether foo is in the same project, or an imported target
from an installation location, or an imported target from a build location
generated by the export() command.
Because the generator expressions are only evaluated at build-time, these
new expressions are equivalent to the ZeroNode and OneNode.
The GeneratorExpression test is split into parts. Some shells can't run
the custom command as it is getting too long.
Xcode and VS <= 7.1 will not build targets that have no source files

Previously we hard-coded a list of implicit framework directories but
did not account for CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT or for changes to the list across
OS X versions. Instead we should automatically detect the framework
directories for the active toolchain.
The parent commit added the "-Wl,-v" option to ask "ld" to print its
implicit directories. It displays a block such as:
Framework search paths:
/...
Parse this block to extract the list of framework directories.
Detection may fail on toolchains that do not list their framework
directories, such as older OS X linkers. Always treat the paths
<sdk>/Library/Frameworks
<sdk>/System/Library/Frameworks
<sdk>/Network/Library/Frameworks # Older OS X only
/System/Library/Frameworks
as implicit. Note that /System/Library/Frameworks should always be
considered implicit so that frameworks CMake finds there will not
override the SDK copies.
Refactoring in commit 8d674e78 (Ninja: move -LIBPATH behind -link
option, 2012-09-26) accidentally added code that overwrites the
framework search path flags on each iteration instead of appending.
Change '=' to '+=' to fix it. This affects Makefile and Ninja
generators.
Extend documentation for CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES to
explain how it is used by CMake and how it can be influenced by
environment variables.

f0d9385 Makefile: Use modern link information for framework search paths
2bc22bd Xcode: Add frameworks search paths from link dependeny closure (#13397)
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.
This should finally fix#13667 and #13762.
Instead of adding special handling to guess whether implicit include dirs
may have been removed, simply make it possible to query the include dirs
without removing the implicit ones.

The Xcode generator produces FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS from:
(1) Include directories of the form /path/to/Foo.framework become
-F/path/to so '#include <Foo/H>' can find H in the framework.
(2) Linked frameworks of the form /path/to/Foo.framework become
-F/path/to -framework Foo so the linker can find the framework.
Originally commit 82bb6fae (add framework support to FIND_FILE,
2005-12-27) added these and used the (then current) old-style link
dependency analysis results to get the frameworks. Later a second
setting was added by commit 2ed6191f (add initial xcode framework stuff,
2007-05-08) to transform -F/path/to linker options produced by the old
link line generation into entries appended to FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS.
Then commit 96fd5909 (Implement linking with paths to library files,
2008-01-22) updated the second setting to directly use the results of
full modern link dependency analysis, but forgot to remove the use of
old-style link results from the original setting location.
The two settings worked together for a while, with the second one
appending to the first. Then commit f33a27ab (Generate native Xcode 3.0
and 3.1 projects, 2009-06-29) changed the internal representation format
produced by the first setting but did not update the second setting to
append to the new representation. As a result, if the first setting
added any paths (usually via the old-style link analysis) then the
second setting containing the modern link analysis results would not be
applied at all.
Fix this by removing use of the old-style link analysis results.
Replace it using the modern link dependencies and remove the second
setting altogether. Now all values for FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS are
collected in one place so no special append logic is needed.
Historically CMake has always expanded ${} variable references in the
values given to include_directories(), link_directories(), and
link_libraries(). This has been unnecessary since general ${}
evaluation syntax was added to the language a LONG time ago, but has
remained for compatibility with VERY early CMake versions.
For a long time the re-expansion was a lightweight operation because it
was only processed once at the directory level and the fast-path of
cmMakefile::ExpandVariablesInString was usually taken because values did
not have any '$' in them. Then commit d899eb71 (Call
ExpandVariablesInString for each target's INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES,
2012-02-22) made the operation a bit heavier because the expansion is
now needed on a per-target basis. In the future we will support
generator expressions in INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES with $<> syntax, so the
fast-path in cmMakefile::ExpandVariablesInString will no longer be taken
and re-expansion will be very expensive.
Add policy CMP0019 to skip the re-expansion altogether in NEW behavior.
In OLD behavior perform the expansion but improve the fast-path
heuristic to match ${} but not $<>. If the policy is not set then warn
if expansion actually does anything. We expect this to be encountered
very rarely in practice.
Eliminate the platform difference in calling stat. We call stat normally
in other places in the CMake code base just fine. Works everywhere we
work. Will hopefully also fix the Borland Continuous dashboard failure
that is occurring with respect to correctly measuring the modification
time of a freshly generated file.
...revealed by the Nightly dashboard runs last night.
Use "size_t" instead of "std::size_t" so that it compiles with
Visual Studio 6, too.
Fix warnings about shadowed "tmp" local variable and ordering of
member variables vs. lines of code in the constructor initializer
list.
Solution folders are supported as read-only in the VS11 Express
Edition, so do not prohibit their use just because we detect the
express edition (as we did in the VS10 generator).
