Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties. Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important. Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.
Move the note about VS 6 into the PDB_NOTE.txt common include file
and include it from the per-config properties too. Also re-word
the note to clarify the separate compiler and linker flags involved
and state explicitly that compiler flags are not affected.
The old documentation stated that "all header files" were considered,
which was not true for any sensible definition of "all header files".
Only header files with certain names are considered.
Document the filename patterns matched for parsing.
Add documentation entries for variables
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES
CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT
Explain what each does and when/how they should be set.
Document PDB_NAME and PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY as applying only to shared
libraries and executables. Add an explicit note to explain why they
do not work for static libraries.
Transitively consume the property from linked dependents.
Implement configuration-specific support by following the pattern
set out for compile definitions and includes in cmQtAutoGenerators.
Implement support for origin-tracking with CMAKE_DEBUG_TARGET_PROPERTIES.
This is motivated by the needs of KDE, which provides a separate
translation system based on gettext instead of the Qt linguist
translation system. The Qt uic tool provides command line options
for configuring the method used to translate text, and to add an
include directive to the generated file to provide the method.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.frameworks/7930/focus=7992
Implement the interface to provide the uic options as a usage-requirement
on the KI18n target, as designed for KDE.
Apply the changes from commit 603fe925 (Fix summary documentation of
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES, 2013-11-04) and commit 0aa97b6b (Fix spelling
in INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES documentation, 2013-11-04) to the new
location of the same documentation.

ff6c401 cmTarget: Add interface for compatible numeric properties
e4e20c1 cmTarget: Add enumeration for consistency to expect from properties.
9877769 cmTarget: Assign consistent content back to the property being evaluated.
816b4a8 cmTarget: Make consistentProperty return consistent content.
030800a cmTarget: Add a template to create correct implied content.
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.
When using the boost MPL library, one can set a define to increase
the limit of how many variadic elements should be supported. The
default for BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE is 20:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/limit-vector-size.html
If the foo library requires that to be set to 30, and the independent
bar library requires it to be set to 40, consumers of both need to set
it to 40.
add_library(foo INTERFACE)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 30)
set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
target_compile_definitions(foo INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)
add_library(bar INTERFACE)
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 40)
# Technically the next two lines are redundant, but as foo and bar are
# independent, they both set these interfaces.
set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
target_compile_definitions(bar INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)
add_executable(user)
target_link_libraries(user foo bar)
Because the TARGET_PROPERTY reads the boost_mpl_vector_size property
from the HEAD of the dependency graph (the user target), and because
that property appears in the COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX of
the dependencies of the user target, the maximum value for it is
chosen for the compile definition, ie, 40.
There are also use-cases for choosing the minimum value of a number.
In Qt, deprecated API can be disabled by version. Setting the
definition QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0 disables no deprecated
API. Setting it to 0x501000 disables API which was deprecated before
Qt 5.1 etc.
If two dependencies require the use of API which was deprecated in
different Qt versions, then COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MIN can be
used to ensure that both can compile.
These two target properties serve the same purpose for different versions
of Visual Studio. Document the versions covered by each property.

Generator expressions are supported in many places and are a distinct
concept worthy of their own manual page. The old builtin documentation
was previously represented by preprocessor macros to generate it into
each place that supports them. Factor out the duplicate content into a
dedicated cmake-generator-expressions manual page and reference it from
each original location.
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS escaping disclaimer was represented in builtin
documentation using a preprocessor macro. Factor the duplicate content
out into a separate .txt file and include it in each document with the
reStructuredText include directive.
Portions of these documents contain duplicate content generated from
preprocessor macros in the original builtin documentation source.
Factor the common parts out into .txt files using reStructuredText
include directives and substitutions to avoid duplication.
