At this point, it is an interface to the cache. It will be extended
to be a universal interface for access to and manipulation of
configuration-time data (defintions, properties on targets,
directories, source files etc).
This will allow porting all command implementations away
from the cmMakefile and cmTarget classes, and result in something
more-purely related to configuration-time processing of cmake
commands. That should serve at least the following goals:
* Split the CMake implementation more definitively into three
stages: Configuration, computation and generation, and be able to
implement each optimally for memory access patterns etc.
* Make better IDE integration possible by making more configuration
data available.
* Make it possiblte to use a smaller library than CMakeLib.a in
cpack and ctest, resulting in smaller executables.
* Make it possible to run the configure step multiple times in
the same CMake run (#14539).
Manage its lifetime in the cmake class, and add a convenience accessor
to cmMakefile.
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.
With PushScope and PopScope, keeping track of another bit of data for
each scope isn't easy. Instead, store it as another CMake variable so it
gets implicitly tracked along with everything else.
This works in a revert of commit
7d674b5f0b.
This reverts commit v3.1.0-rc1~557^2~2 (ClearMatches: Only clear matches
which were actually set, 2014-03-12). The optimization did not track
the match count in the same scope as the variables, allowing possible
inconsistency.
Resolve conflicts in Source/cmIfCommand.cxx, Source/cmMakefile.cxx,
and Source/cmMakefile.h by moving the changes to the new location
of the code involved.
It gets incremented while entering a loop block (e.g. foreach or while)
and gets decremented when leaving the block. Because scope borders for
example at function borders must be taken into account the counter is
put into a stack. With every new scope an empty counter is pushed on the
stack, when leaving the scope the original value is restored.
This will allow easy querying if the break command is properly nested
within a loop scope.

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.
Teach the add_custom_command and add_custom_target commands a new
USES_TERMINAL option. Use it to tell the generator to give the command
direct access to the terminal if possible.
No call sites pass NULL to the output argument, so take it by
reference to avoid the if(output) conditions. Propagate the
change through the TryCompile APIs that call it.
When CMP0053 is in WARN mode, variables get expanded twice, leaking the
fact that the string was expanded twice and changing behavior. Instead,
suppress variable watches when running the expansion to trigger the
CMP0053 warning.
Allow setting build properties based on the features available
for a target. The availability of features is determined at
generate-time by evaluating the link implementation.
Ensure that the <LANG>_STANDARD determined while evaluating
COMPILE_FEATURES in the link implementation is not lower than that
provided by the INTERFACE of the link implementation. This is
similar to handling of transitive properties such as
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE.
Add properties and variables corresponding to CXX equivalents.
Add features for c_function_prototypes (C90), c_restrict (C99),
c_variadic_macros (C99) and c_static_assert (C11). This feature
set can be extended later.
Add a <PREFIX>_RESTRICT symbol define to WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
to conditionally represent the c_restrict feature.
Introduce a new implementation of ExpandVariablesInString and select
between the old and new implementations based on policy CMP0053.
Instead of cmCommandArgumentParserHelper, use a custom parser with our
own stack. This is much faster and works well for our simple grammar.
The new behavior of CMP0053 should expand @VAR@ syntax only in certain
contexts. All existing EVIS callers use "replaceAt == true" so
hard-code our call to the old implementation. Update the signature to
default to "replaceAt == false" and pass "replaceAt == true" explicitly
in the call sites for configure_file and string(CONFIGURE).
Testing the configure (no generate) step with ParaView shows ~20%
performance improvement.
In terms of complete configure/generate steps, further testing with
ParaView shows a 20% performance improvement over 2.8.12.2 with Unix
Makefiles and minimal with Ninja. Ninja is less because it generate step
is the expensive part (future work will address this) by a long shot and
these changes help the configure step for the most part.
3f517522 StoreMatches: Minor cleanups
ef62fbad ClearMatches: Store match variable names statically
f718b30a ClearMatches: Only clear matches which were actually set
ClearMatches was clearing many variables which were never set in the
first place. Instead, store how many matches were made last time and
only clear those. It is moved to the cmMakefile class since it is a
common utility used by multiple commands.
Use the contents of it to upgrade the CXX_STANDARD target property,
if appropriate. This will have the effect of adding the -std=c++11
compile flag or other language specification on GNU when that is
needed for the feature.
6c190245 Remove extra semicolons from C++ code.
4bef02e7 cmTypeMacro: Add a class to eat the semicolon following the macro use.
ff710539 Remove default labels from fully covered switch statements.
These policies are triggered by the use of a particular compiler rather
than outdated CMake code in a project. Avoid warning in every project
that enables a language by not displaying the policy warning by default.
Add variable CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN> to control the warning
explicitly; otherwise enable the warning with --debug-output or --trace.
This breaks with strict policy convention because it does not provide
developers with any warning about the behavior change by default.
Existing projects will continue to build without a warning or change in
behavior. When a developer changes the minimum required version of
CMake in a project to a sufficiently high value (3.0), the project will
suddenly get the new compiler id and may break, but at least the
breakage comes with a change to the project rather than the version of
CMake used to build it.
Breaking strict policy convention is worthwhile in this case because
very few projects will be affected by the behavior change but every
project would have to see the warning if it were enabled by default.
Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
Define a new 'CMAKE_CONFIGURE_DEPENDS' directory property that projects
can use to specify input files to the CMake configuration process.
Extend the RunCMake.Configure test to verify that the build system
re-runs CMake when this input changes.
Most callers already have a std::string, on which they called c_str() to pass it
into these methods, which internally converted it back to std::string. Pass a
std::string directly to these methods now, avoiding all these conversions.
Those methods that only pass in a const char* will get the conversion to
std::string now only once.

The source files are already processed by cmQtAutomoc to look for
moc includes, so extend that to also look for ui_ includes and
find corresponding .ui files to process.
This replaces the need to invoke qt4_wrap_ui().
As the ui files are not likely to be part of the SOURCES of the
target, store the options associated with them separately in the
cmMakefile for querying during the autogen run.
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user
attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release.
Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a
reference to policy CMP0001.
Currently, export() is executed at configure-time.
One problem with this is that certain exported properties like
the link interface may not be complete at the point the export() is
encountered leading to an incorrect or incomplete exported
representation. Additionally, the generated IMPORTED_LOCATION
property may even be incorrect if commands following the export()
have an effect on it.
Another problem is that it requires the C++ implementation of cmake
to be capable of computing the exported information at configure time.
This is a limitation on the cleanup and maintenance of the code. At
some point in the future, this limitation will be dropped and more
implementation will be moved from cmTarget to cmGeneratorTarget.
In the common case of custom command dependencies specified via full
path optimize the implementation of GetSourceFileWithOutput using a
(hash) map. This is significantly faster than the existing linear
search. In the non-full-path case fall back to the existing linear
suffix search.
* The ALIAS name must match a validity regex.
* Executables and libraries may be aliased.
* An ALIAS acts immutable. It can not be used as the lhs
of target_link_libraries or other commands.
* An ALIAS can be used with add_custom_command, add_custom_target,
and add_test in the same way regular targets can.
* The target of an ALIAS can be retrieved with the ALIASED_TARGET
target property.
* An ALIAS does not appear in the generated buildsystem. It
is kept separate from cmMakefile::Targets for that reason.
* A target may have multiple aliases.
* An ALIAS target may not itself have an alias.
* An IMPORTED target may not have an alias.
* An ALIAS may not be exported or imported.
9cf3547 Add the INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property.

f1fcbe3 Add Target API to determine if an include is a system include.
2679a34 Remove unused variable.
Use constructs similar to those for COMPILE_OPTIONS. This is a little
different because there is a command to remove_definitions(), so
we can't populate the equivalent target property until generate-time
in cmGlobalGenerator.
Entries from the cmMakefile are processed and maintained similarly
to other include directories. The include_directories(SYSTEM)
signature affects all following targets, and all prior targets
in the same makefile.
AddCMakeDependFile and AddCMakeOutputFile both store as std::string
and all calling sites use std::string. So instead of creating more
temporary objects, lets just use std::strings.
This command is similar to add_definitions, in that it affects
the compile options of all targets which follow it. The implementation
is similar to the implementation of the include_directories command,
in that it is based on populating a COMPILE_OPTIONS directory property
and using that to initialize the same property on targets.
Unlike the include_directories command however, the add_compile_options
command does not affect previously defined targets. That is, in
the following code, foo will not be compiled with -Wall, but bar
will be:
add_library(foo ...)
add_compile_options(-Wall)
add_library(bar ...)
Since commit 08cb4fa4 (Process generator expressions in the
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property., 2012-09-18), it is possible to use
generator expressions with the include_directories command.
As that command can also have a SYSTEM argument, ensure that the
result of using that argument with generator expressions gives a
sane result.
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.
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 $<>. If the policy is not set then warn
if expansion actually does anything. We expect this to be encountered
very rarely in practice.
In trace mode ('--trace'), any 'elseif' or 'else' commands that are
evaluated as part of a conditional block will be printed. Previously,
only the opening 'if' command of a conditional block was printed.
Add a boolean target property NO_SONAME which may be used to disable
soname for the specified shared library or module even if the platform
supports it. This property should be useful for private shared
libraries or various plugins which live in private directories and have
not been designed to be found or loaded globally.
Replace references to <CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SONAME_${LANG}_FLAG> and
hard-coded -install_name flags with a conditional <SONAME_FLAG> which is
expanded to the value of the CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SONAME_${LANG}_FLAG
definition as long as soname supports is enabled for the target in
question. Keep expanding CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SONAME_${LANG}_FLAG in
rules in case third party projects still use it. Such projects would
not yet use NO_SONAME so the adjacent <TARGET_SONAME> will always be
expanded. Make <TARGET_INSTALLNAME_DIR> NO_SONAME aware as well. Since
-install_name is soname on OS X, this should not be a problem if this
variable is expanded only if soname is enabled.
The Ninja generator performs rule variable substitution only once
globally per rule to put its own placeholders. Final substitution is
performed by ninja at build time. Therefore we cannot conditionally
replace the soname placeholders on a per-target basis. Rather than
omitting $SONAME from rules.ninja, simply do not write its contents for
targets which have NO_SONAME. Since 3 variables are affected by
NO_SONAME ($SONAME, $SONAME_FLAG, $INSTALLNAME_DIR), set them only if
soname is enabled.
Teach cmMakefile::AddCustomCommandToOutput to return the cmSourceFile
instance to which the custom command is attached. Use the return value
instead of separately adding a .rule extension and searching for the
source. Mark CMake-generated .rule files explicitly with a property
instead of trusting the file extension.

Consider the case motivating commit e01cce28 (Allow add_dependencies()
on imported targets, 2010-11-19). An imported target references a file
generated at build time by a custom target on which it depends. Had the
file been built directly using add_library or add_executable its target
name would have been visible globally. Therefore the imported target
representing the file should be globally visible also.
Teach the IMPORTED signature of add_(executable|library) to accept a new
"GLOBAL" option to make the imported target visible globally.
set_property() has APPEND, which creates a list. E.g. when
appending to COMPILE_FLAGS a string is needed, not a list.
With the APPEND_STRING option the value is append as string,
not as list.

Factor out reading of CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES and CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
into cmMakefile::GetConfigurations. Read the former only in
multi-config generators.
These were implementation details of the unused methods
cmMakefile::RegisterData
cmMakefile::LookupData
We simply remove the methods, members, and class cmData.
We revert commit "Create CMake Policy CMP0015 to fix set(CACHE)" because
the NEW behavior of the policy breaks a valid use case:
# CMakeLists.txt
option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "..." ON)
add_library(mylib ...)
set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF) # we want only mylib to be shared
add_subdirectory(ThirdParty)
# ThirdParty/CMakeLists.txt
option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "..." ON)
# uh, oh, with NEW behavior this dir uses shared libs!!!
We'll re-introduce the policy later with a different change in behavior
to resolve the motivating case, which was more subtle but less common.
See issue #9008.
This creates cmTarget::GetFeature and cmMakefile::GetFeature methods to
query "build feature" properties. These methods handle local-to-global
scope and per-configuration property lookup. Specific build features
will be defined later.
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 set(CACHE) and option() commands should always expose the cache
value. Previously we failed to expose the value when it was already set
if a local variable definition hid it. When set to NEW, this policy
tells the commands to always remove the local variable definition to
expose the cache value. See issue #9008.
The boolean overload of this method was used only to implement option().
We re-implement option() in terms of the main method and removes the
now-unused signature. This removes some duplicate code that had already
fallen behind on changes (it was not removing the local definition
instead of setting it).
The try_compile command builds the cmTryCompileExec executable using the
cmTryCompileExec/fast target with Makefile generators in order to save
time since dependencies are not needed. However, in project mode the
command builds an entire source tree that may have dependencies.
Therefore we can use the /fast target approach only in one-source mode.
Previously each new variable scope (subdirectory or function call) in
the CMake language created a complete copy of the key->value definition
map. This avoids the copy using transitive lookups up the scope stack.
Results of queries answered by parents are stored locally to maintain
locality of reference.
The class cmDefinitions replaces cmMakefile::DefinitionsMap, and is
aware of its enclosing scope. Each scope stores only the definitions
set (or unset!) inside it relative to the enclosing scope.
In CMake 2.6.3 and below we silently accepted duplicate build
directories whose build files would then conflict. At first this was
considured purely a bug that confused beginners but would not be used in
a real project. In CMake 2.6.4 we explicitly made it an error.
However, some real projects took advantage of this as a "feature" and
got lucky that the subtle build errors it can cause did not occur.
Therefore we need a policy to deal with the case more gracefully.
See issue #9173.
This moves code which generates ADD_TEST and SET_TESTS_PROPERTIES calls
into CTestTestfile.cmake files out of cmLocalGenerator and into a
cmTestGenerator class. This will allow more advanced generation without
cluttering cmLocalGenerator. The cmTestGenerator class derives from
cmScriptGenerator to get support for per-configuration script
generation (not yet enabled).
Isolation of policy changes inside scripts is important for protecting
the including context. This teaches include() and find_package() to
imply a cmake_policy(PUSH) and cmake_policy(POP) around the scripts they
load, with a NO_POLICY_SCOPE option to disable the behavior. This also
creates CMake Policy CMP0011 to provide compatibility. See issue #8192.
This teaches functions and macros to use policies recorded at creation
time when they are invoked. It restores the policies as a weak policy
stack entry so that any policies set by a function escape to its caller
as before.
A 'weak' poilcy stack entry responds normally to queries. However,
setting a policy in a weak entry will recursively set the policy in the
next entry too. This also gives the internal interface to create a weak
entry the option to provide an initial PolicyMap for it.
This makes cmMakefile::PushPolicy and cmMakefile::PopPolicy private so
that any outside place that uses them needs to use the PolicyPushPop
helper in an automatic variable. We grant an exception to
cmCMakePolicyCommand so it can implement cmake_policy(PUSH) and
cmake_policy(POP).
This creates cmMakefile::PolicyPushPop to push and pop policy scope
automatically. It also enforces balanced push/pop pairs inside the
scope it handles.
This defines PolicyMap as a public member of cmPolicies. Its previous
role as a policy stack entry is now called PolicyStackEntry and
represented as a class to which more information can be added later.
If a logical block terminates with mismatching arguments we previously
failed to remove the function blocker but replayed the commands anyway,
which led to cases in which we failed to report the mismatch (return
shortly after the ending command). The recent refactoring of function
blocker deletion changed this behavior to produce an error on the ending
line by not blocking the command. Furthermore, the function blocker
would stay in place and complain at the end of every equal-level block
of the same type.
This teaches CMake to treat the begin/end commands (if/endif, etc.) as
correct and just warns when the arguments mismatch. The change allows
cases in which CMake 2.6.2 silently ignored a mismatch to run as before
but with a warning.
This centralizes construction of the error message for an unclosed
logical block (if, foreach, etc.). We record the line at which each
block is opened so it can be reported in the error message.
This uses a stack of 'barriers' to efficiently divide function blockers
into groups corresponding to each input file. It simplifies detection
of missing block close commands and factors it out of ReadListFile.
When a function blocker decides to remove itself we previously removed
it at every return point from the C++ scope in which its removal is
needed. This teaches function blockers to transfer ownership of
themselves from cmMakefile to an automatic variable for deletion on
return. Since this removes blockers before they replay their commands,
we no longer need to avoid running blockers on their own commands.
Previously bad arguments to an if() or elseif() would cause some
subsequent statements in the corresponding block to execute. This
teaches CMake to stop processing commands with a fatal error. It also
provides context to bad elseif() error messages.
The documentation of cmake_policy PUSH and POP states that they must
always match. Previously we enforced this only for the top scope of
each CMakeLists.txt file. This enforces the requirement for all files.
This uses an automatic variable to push and pop variable scope inside a
function call. Previously if the function failed its scope would not be
popped. This approach guarantees a balanced push/pop.
Previously we stored a vector of tests to preserve their order.
Property set/get operations would do a linear search for matching tests.
This uses a map to efficiently look up tests while keeping the original
order with a vector for test file generation.
After creating a utility target with AddUtilityCommand, return a pointer
to the cmTarget instance so the caller may further modify the target as
needed.
If the arguments to a command fail to parse correctly due to a syntax
error, the command should not be invoked. This avoids problems created
by processing of commands with bad arguments. Even though the build
system will not be generated, the command may affect files on disk that
persist across CMake runs.
This introduces the unset() command to make it easy to unset CMake
variables, environment variables, and CMake cache variables. Previously
it was not even possible to unset ENV or CACHE variables (as in
completely remove them). Changes based on patch from Philip Lowman.
See issue #7507.
In the future some policies may be set to REQUIRED_IF_USED or
REQUIRED_ALWAYS. This change clarifies the error messages users receive
when violating the requirements.
- The property tracks the value formed by add_definitions
and remove_definitions command invocations.
- The string should be maintained for use in returning for the
DEFINITIONS property value.
- It is no longer used for any other purpose.
- The DEFINITIONS property was recently documented as deprecated.
- See bug #7239.
- CMake 1.8 and below did not do the check but could get in
infinite loops due to the local generate step.
- CMake 2.0 added the check but failed to perform it in directories
with no targets (see bug #678).
- CMake 2.2 removed the local generate which fixed the problem but
did not remove the check.
- Between CMake 2.4 and 2.6.0rc6 the check was fixed to work even
when no targets appear in a directory (see bug #6923).
- Bottom line: the check is no longer needed.
- Message for missing cmake_minimum_required is not issued
until the end of processing the top CMakeLists.txt file
- During processing a cmake_policy command may set behavior
- OLD behavior is to silently ignore the problem
- NEW behavior is to issue an error instead of a warning
- Add cmListFileBacktrace to record stack traces
- Move main IssueMessage method to the cmake class instance
(make the backtrace an explicit argument)
- Change cmMakefile::IssueMessage to construct a backtrace
and call the cmake instance version
- Record a backtrace at the point a target is created
(useful later for messages issued by generators)
- Add cmMakefile methods IssueError and IssueWarning
- Maintain an explicit call stack in cmMakefile
- Include context/call-stack info in messages
- Nested errors now unwind the call stack
- Use new mechanism for policy warnings and errors
- Improve policy error message
- Include cmExecutionStatus pointer in call stack
so that errors deeper in the C++ stack under
a command invocation will become errors for the
command
- Error if imported target is involved in conflict
- Error for non-imported target conflict unless
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY <= 2.4
- Include OUTPUT_NAME property in error message
- Update add_executable and add_library command documentation
- 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
