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.

Simplify cmLocalVisualStudioGenerator::ComputeObjectNameRequirements to
loop over the original vector of source files instead of recursively
traversing source groups just to find the same files. Drop from
cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::ComputeObjectNames temporary source
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.
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.
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
commit f4b3bdc6 (Create an exe's implib output dir for VS, 2009-06-15)
and generalized by commit 764ac980 (Generalize exe implib dir creation
for VS, 2009-06-16). Create a pre-link rule to make the directory.
VS 6 forgets to create the output directory for a static library if it
differs from the intermediate files directory. We work around this VS
bug by creating a pre-link event on the library target to make the
directory.
This commit removes use of configuration-less cmTarget::GetDirectory()
by the VS 6 generator (except for compatibility with user templates).
We replace OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_<CONFIG> tokens in the templates using the
per-configuration result of cmTarget::GetDirectory(config).
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.
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 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.
VS 6 forgets to create the output directory for an executable's import
library in case the exe dllexport-s symbols. We work around this VS bug
by creating a pre-link event on the executable target to make the
directory.
In cmLocalVisualStudio6Generator 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.
Previously we rejected all preprocessor definition values containing
spaces for the VS6 IDE generator. In fact VS6 does support spaces but
not in combination with '"', '$', or ';', and only if we use the sytnax
'-DNAME="value with spaces"' instead of '-D"NAME=value with spaces"'.
Now we support all definition values that do not have one of these
invalid pairs. See issue #8779.
The add_definitions() command and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS dir/tgt/src
properties support preprocessor definitions with values. Previously
values were not supported in the VS6 generator even though the native
tool supports them. It is only values with spaces that VS6 does not
support. This enables support and instead complains only for values
with spaces. See issue #8779.
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.
- 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
- This is purely an implementation improvement. No interface has changed.
- Create cmComputeLinkInformation class
- Move and re-implement logic from:
cmLocalGenerator::ComputeLinkInformation
cmOrderLinkDirectories
- Link libraries to targets with their full path (if it is known)
- Dirs specified with link_directories command still added with -L
- Make link type specific to library names without paths
(name libfoo.a without path becomes -Wl,-Bstatic -lfoo)
- Make directory ordering specific to a runtime path computation feature
(look for conflicting SONAMEs instead of library names)
- Implement proper rpath support on HP-UX and AIX.
