Create a <LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER target property (initialized by a
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER variable) to specify a compiler launcher
tool. This will supersede the CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ARG1 approach to
using such tools. The old approach set CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to the
launcher tool while the new approach leaves this variable set to the
actual compiler.
Implement this property for Makefile and Ninja generators. It cannot be
implemented for VS or Xcode generators as the IDE build tools offer no
such hooks.
The test for this variable was removed in commit v2.8.8~330^2~7 (complex:
Remove ancient unused ComplexRelativePaths test, 2011-12-23).
Commit v3.1.0-rc1~425^2~2 (backtrace: Convert to local paths in
IssueMessage, 2014-03-12) appears to have accidentally made some backtraces
print relative paths with the variable because conversions which used to be
done at configure time, before the variable had an effect are now potentially
done at generate time.
The documentation of the variable says not to use it, and the docs are wrong in
that the variable actually applies in per-directory scope.
The read of the variable makes it harder to split conversion methods from
cmLocalGenerator where they don't belong. Remove it now.
The 'ctest --launch' command must be placed before the IWYU launcher on
the compiler command line. Extend the RunCMake.IncludeWhatYouUse test
to cover this case. The Ninja generator already does it correctly.
Create a <LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE target property (initialized by a
CMAKE_<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE variable) to specify an IWYU command
line to be run along with the compiler.
When given the command line
tool a\ b c
mingw32-make incorrectly passes "a b" and "c" to the tool. When given
the command line
tool a\ b "c"
mingw32-make correctly passes "a\", "b", and "c" to the tool.
Since commit v3.1.0-rc1~861^2 (MSVC: Add properties to configure
compiler PDB files, 2014-02-24) we pass the compiler pdb option to
MS-style compiler tools as "/Fd<dir>\" but mingw32-make may consume
the backslash as escaping a following space as described above.
Workaround this problem by changing the backslash to a forward
slash as had been used prior to the above commit.
9660a3cc Makefile: Fix multiple custom command outputs with one missing
5c08e255 KWSys SystemTools: Teach Touch with !create to succeed on missing file
The use of "cmake -E touch_nocreate" added in commit v3.2.1~4^2
(Makefile: Fix multiple custom command outputs regression, 2015-03-06)
caused builds to fail when one of the outputs is intentionally not
created. This was fixed by our parent commit by making touch_nocreate
succeed when the file is missing. Add a test case covering it.
For the Watcom WMake generator, check for the SYMBOLIC source file
property separately on each output. The mark is needed on outputs that
are not really created to tell 'wmake' not to complain that it is
missing. The mark is also needed on outputs that are created or 'wmake'
will not consider them out of date when they exist.

Add .DELETE_ON_ERROR to the "build.make" files that contain the actual
build rules that generate files. This tells GNU make to delete the
output of a rule if the recipe modifies the output but returns failure.
This is particularly useful for custom commands that use shell
redirection to produce a file.
Do not add .DELETE_ON_ERROR for Borland or Watcom make tools because
they may not tolerate it and would not honor it anyway. Other make
tools that do not understand .DELETE_ON_ERROR will not be hurt.

In commit v3.2.0-rc1~272^2~2 (Makefile: Fix rebuild with multiple custom
command outputs, 2014-12-05) we changed the generated makefile pattern
for multiple outputs from
out1: depends...
commands...
out2: out1
to
out1 out2: depends...
commands...
This was based on the incorrect assumption that make tools would treat
this as a combined output rule and run the command(s) exactly once for
them. It turns out that instead this new pattern is equivalent to
out1: depends...
commands...
out2: depends...
commands...
so the commands may be run more than once.
Some documents suggest using a "dedicated witness" stamp file:
stamp: depends...
rm -f stamp
touch stamp.tmp
commands...
mv stamp.tmp stamp
out1 out2: stamp
However, if the commands fail the error message will refer to the stamp
instead of any of the real outputs, which may be confusing to readers.
Also, this approach seems to have the same behavior of the original
approach that motiviated the above commit: multiple invocations are
needed to bring consumers of the outputs up to date.
Instead we can return to the original approach but add an explicit
touch to each extra output rule:
out1: depends...
commands...
out2: out1
touch -c out2
This causes make tools to recognize that all outputs have changed and
therefore to execute any commands that consume them.
Replace use of separate "cmake -E cmake_progress_report" and "cmake -E
cmake_echo_color" commands to report the progress and message portions
of build output lines with --progress-* options to the latter to print
everything with a single command. The line buffering of the stdout FILE
stream should cause the whole line to be printed with one atomic write.
This will avoid inter-mixing of line-wise messages from different
processes during a parallel build.
Fix the generated makefiles for custom commands with multiple outputs to
list all the outputs on the left hand side of the build rule. This is
much simpler and more reliable than the old multiple-output-pair
infrastructure.
