Revert the refactoring by commit v2.8.11~105^2~1 (Ninja: use MinGW
generator code in EnableLanguage, 2013-03-09) and move the MinGW-
specific logic back to the "MinGW Makefiles" generator. Instead teach
the platform information modules for GNU and MSVC on Windows to set the
preferred RC compiler just before enabling the RC language. This way
we choose the RC compiler based on the C/C++ toolchain that is actually
enabled.
In commit 74de9a73 (cmGlobalGenerator: Delegate storage of enabled
languages to cmState, 2015-04-11) the original LanguageEnabled
member of cmGlobalGenerator was left behind by mistake. One use
of it in EnableLanguagesFromGenerator (for try_compile) was left,
but the member is not populated anymore. Drop the member and
teach EnableLanguagesFromGenerator to copy the list of enabled
languages from one cmState to the other.

Extend the RunSingleCommand signature to capture stdout and stderr
separately. Allow both to be captured to the same std::string
to preserve existing behavior. Update all call sites to do this
so that this refactoring does not introduce functional changes.
This topic was never tested without some follow-up commits. The
GetCacheEntryValue API returns a pointer to memory freed on return.
It will have to be revised along with the rest of the original topic.
VCExpress does not produce output if its pipes are connected to
an interactive terminal. Add a special case to 'cmake --build'
to capture the output through a pipe and re-print it instead of
sharing output pipes with VCExpress.
The Ninja build system does not support a in-file verbositiy switch.
Instead teach 'cmake --build' to extract the CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE
setting and pass it as an optional '-v' argument to Ninja. This can
serve as a reasonable fallback.

Port some existing cmJoin to use it.
cmJoin is cumbersome to use in cases where the objective is to
somehow 'quote' each item and then join it with a separator. In that
case, the joiner string is harder to read and reason about. cmWrap
aims to solve that.
Provide an overload taking char wrappers to simplify the case
of surrounding every element in quotes without needing to escape
the quote character.
This reverts commit ae6fc555a7.
Use the more-natural make_pair algorithm. The compiler motivating
the need for this is not supported as a host anymore.
The "cmakexbuild" wrapper is not needed for Xcode 4 and above, and the
path to it may change when CMake moves. Avoid storing a specific path
to a build program in CMakeCache.txt and instead compute the value for
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM on demand. However, if a user does set the value
explicitly then honor it.
This does for Xcode what commit v3.0.0-rc1~260^2~4 (VS: Switch to
internal CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM lookup by generators, 2013-11-15) did for
Visual Studio generators.
This will make them use the 'console' pool with the Ninja generator.
Impacted targets are:
- Built-in targets: install, install/local, install/strip, tests,
package, package_source, rebuild_cache
- Targets provided by the CTestTargets module: Nightly, Continuous,
Experimental,
and all their variants (*Start, *Configure, ...)
In each internal target directory we generate a "Labels.txt" file
containing labels for that target and its sources, but it uses an
internal format. In order to make the list of labels easier to
publish, use a json format and call it "Labels.json".
Since we now use jsoncpp headers, link CMakeLib to the jsoncpp library.
We use cmGlobalGenerator::GetDirectoryContent to avoid repeating
directory listings. However, GetDirectoryContent loads content from
disk at most once. This breaks find_library calls that occur when disk
content has changed since preceding find_library calls.
Teach cmGlobalGenerator::GetDirectoryContent to save the directory
modification time when content is loaded and re-load content if it
changes.
Create a RunCMake.find_library test with a case covering this.
A common idiom in CMake-based build systems is to have custom commands
that generate files not listed explicitly as outputs so that these
files do not have to be newer than the inputs. The file modification
times of such "byproducts" are updated only when their content changes.
Then other build rules can depend on the byproducts explicitly so that
their dependents rebuild when the content of the original byproducts
really does change.
This "undeclared byproduct" approach is necessary for Makefile, VS, and
Xcode build tools because if a byproduct were listed as an output of a
rule then the rule would always rerun when the input is newer than the
byproduct but the byproduct may never be updated.
Ninja solves this problem by offering a 'restat' feature to check
whether an output was really modified after running a rule and tracking
the fact that it is up to date separately from its timestamp. However,
Ninja also stats all dependencies up front and will only restat files
that are listed as outputs of rules with the 'restat' option enabled.
Therefore an undeclared byproduct that does not exist at the start of
the build will be considered missing and the build will fail even if
other dependencies would cause the byproduct to be available before its
dependents build.
CMake works around this limitation by adding 'phony' build rules for
custom command dependencies in the build tree that do not have any
explicit specification of what produces them. This is not optimal
because it prevents Ninja from reporting an error when an input to a
rule really is missing. A better approach is to allow projects to
explicitly specify the byproducts of their custom commands so that no
phony rules are needed for them. In order to work with the non-Ninja
generators, the byproducts must be known separately from the outputs.
Add a new "BYPRODUCTS" option to the add_custom_command and
add_custom_target commands to specify byproducts explicitly. Teach the
Ninja generator to specify byproducts as outputs of the custom commands.
In the case of POST_BUILD, PRE_LINK, and PRE_BUILD events on targets
that link, the byproducts must be specified as outputs of the link rule
that runs the commands. Activate 'restat' for such rules so that Ninja
knows it needs to check the byproducts, but not for link rules that have
no byproducts.
