We evaluate `LINK_LIBRARIES` and `INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` for two purposes:
* Constructing the link line.
* Collecting usage requirements.
We evaluate `INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` separately for each purpose in
order to support the `$<LINK_ONLY:...>` generator expression used to
express private link dependencies of a static library. Previously we
only evaluated `LINK_LIBRARIES` for linking, and used that result for
collecting usage requirements too. Therefore `$<LINK_ONLY:...>` does
not work in `LINK_LIBRARIES`.
With the introduction of `INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES_DIRECT`, evaluation
of `LINK_LIBRARIES` now needs to distinguish these two cases in order to
honor link dependencies encountered through `$<LINK_ONLY:...>` without
also exposing other usage requirements through private dependencies of a
static library. Revise internal infrastructure to distinguish the two
cases when evaluating `LINK_LIBRARIES`. Make the information available
in code paths for `INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES_DIRECT` and `LINK_ONLY`.
Defer actually using the information to later commits.
Issue: #22496
To be more consistent between genex and variables as well as
the forecomming LINK_GROUP genex, rename variable *_LINK_USING_<FEATURE>*
in *_LINK_LIBRARY_USING_<FEATURE>*
To enable the management of incompatible $<LINK_LIBRARY> declarations,
add LINK_LIBRARY_OVERRIDE and LINK_LIBRARY_OVERRIDE_<LIBRARY> target
properties.
This generator expression offers the capability, for the link step, to
decorate libraries with prefix/suffix flags and/or adding any specific flag for each
library.
Fixes: #22812, #18751, #20078, #22703
Linkers always use object files explicitly specified on the command line
regardless of where they appear. Move them to the front of the list of
linked libraries in so that symbols required by the object files can be
resolved by any library.
Issue: #22149
The computation of Tarjan's algorithm is an expensive operation which
should not be done in the constructor. Move this work into a dedicated
Compute() method, and call this method explicitly.
Since commit d4d0dd0f6a (cmLinkLineComputer: Add ComputeLinkLibs
overload with backtraces, 2019-09-13, v3.16.0-rc1~87^2~4), backtraces
have been collected by `ComputeLinkLibs` by looking back through the
link implementation libraries for one matching the text of the link line
item. This is slow in projects with long link lines.
Instead, teach `cmComputeLinkDepends` and `cmComputeLinkInformation` to
carry backtrace information explicitly along with the text of each item.
Fixes: #20322
Provide a standardized way to handle the C++ "standard" headers
customized to be used with current CMake C++ standard constraints.
Offer under directory `cm` headers which can be used as direct
replacements of the standard ones. For example:
#include <cm/string_view>
can be used safely for CMake development in place of the `<string_view>`
standard header.
Fixes: #19491
Set the MinTypeNameLength option to an impossibly high value in order
to limit the diagnostics to iterators. Leave new expressions and cast
expressions for later.
This patch is generated by a python script that uses regular expressions to
search for string concatenation patterns of the kind
```
std::string str = <ARG0>;
str += <ARG1>;
str += <ARG2>;
...
```
and replaces them with a single `cmStrCat` call
```
std::string str = cmStrCat(<ARG0>, <ARG1>, <ARG2>, ...);
```
If any `<ARGX>` is itself a concatenated string of the kind
```
a + b + c + ...;
```
then `<ARGX>` is split into multiple arguments for the `cmStrCat` call.
If there's a sequence of literals in the `<ARGX>`, then all literals in the
sequence are concatenated and merged into a single literal argument for
the `cmStrCat` call.
Single character strings are converted to single char arguments for
the `cmStrCat` call.
`std::to_string(...)` wrappings are removed from `cmStrCat` arguments,
because it supports numeric types as well as string types.
`arg.substr(x)` arguments to `cmStrCat` are replaced with
`cm::string_view(arg).substr(x)`
Carry a backtrace on every link item, not just link implementation
items. For now the non-impl items will still have empty backtraces at
runtime, but this will allow us to introduce values over time.
If two imported targets in different directories have the same name we
should still be able to propagate transitive link dependencies from
both. Fix the target and link dependency analyzers to de-duplicate
targets using target pointers rather than target names since the
pointers will not be duplicated even if the names are.
Issue: #18345
Avoid exposing the item name implicitly as std::string. When the item
is a target, avoid storing a second copy of its name.
Most link item construction is paired with calls to `FindTargetToLink`
to get the possible target pointer. Rename these methods to
`ResolveLinkItem` and refactor them to construct the entire item.
Run the `clang-format.bash` script to update all our C and C++ code to a
new style defined by `.clang-format`. Use `clang-format` version 6.0.

Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

Sort include directives within each block (separated by a blank line) in
lexicographic order (except to prioritize `sys/types.h` first). First
run `clang-format` with the config file:
---
SortIncludes: false
...
Commit the result temporarily. Then run `clang-format` again with:
---
SortIncludes: true
IncludeCategories:
- Regex: 'sys/types.h'
Priority: -1
...
Commit the result temporarily. Start a new branch and cherry-pick the
second commit. Manually resolve conflicts to preserve indentation of
re-ordered includes. This cleans up the include ordering without
changing any other style.
Use the following command to run `clang-format`:
$ git ls-files -z -- \
'*.c' '*.cc' '*.cpp' '*.cxx' '*.h' '*.hh' '*.hpp' '*.hxx' |
egrep -z -v '(Lexer|Parser|ParserHelper)\.' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/cm_sha2' |
egrep -z -v '^Source/(kwsys|CursesDialog/form)/' |
egrep -z -v '^Utilities/(KW|cm).*/' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/Module/GenerateExportHeader' |
egrep -z -v '^Tests/RunCMake/CommandLine/cmake_depends/test_UTF-16LE.h' |
xargs -0 clang-format -i
This selects source files that do not come from a third-party.
