In a case like
target_link_libraries(targetInOtherDir PUBLIC "$<1:a;b>")
then all entries in the list need to be looked up in the caller's
scope. Previously our `::@(directory-id)` suffix would apply only
to the last entry. Instead surround the entire entry by a pair
`::@(directory-id);...;::@` so that the `::@` syntax can encode
a directory lookup scope change evaluated as the list is processed.
Fixes: #20204
Add a new property flag for a target which contains a message regarding
deprecation status.
Add a warning at "Generate" time if a linked target is marked as
deprecated.
Expand ExportImport test to ensure that new property is being set and
passed correctly. Ensure that the message is shown during the
"Generate" step run of the ExportImport test.
For each usage requirement (such as `INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` or
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`), the value of the generator expression
`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:target,prop>` includes the values of the same
property from the transitive closure of link libraries of the target.
In cases that a target's transitive closure of dependencies does not
depend on the target being linked (the "head" target), we can memoize
whether or not a usage requirement property exists at all for that
target. When a usage requirement does not exist for a target, we
can skip evaluating it for every consuming target.
Fixes: #18964, #18965
In large projects the generation process spends a lot of time evaluating
usage requirements through transitive interface properties on targets.
This can be seen in a contrived example with deep dependencies:
set(prev "")
foreach(i RANGE 1 500)
add_library(a${i} a.c)
target_compile_definitions(a${i} PUBLIC A${i})
target_link_libraries(a${i} PUBLIC ${prev})
set(prev a${i})
endforeach()
For each usage requirement (such as `INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` or
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`), the value of the generator expression
`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:target,prop>` includes the values of the same
property from the transitive closure of link libraries of the target.
Previously we computed this by constructing a generator expression
string like `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:lib,INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS>` and
recursively evaluating it with the generator expression engine. Avoid
the string construction and parsing by creating and using a dedicated
evaluation method `cmGeneratorTarget::EvaluateInterfaceProperty` that
looks up the properties directly.
Issue: #18964, #18965
Rather than taking a number of out parameters for the various names,
create a structure that is reused for both `GetLibraryNames` and
`GetExecutableNames`. Replace uses according to the new interface.
Suppress some cases in `Source/cmGeneratorExpressionNode.cxx` and
`Source/cmUVHandlePtr.h` where a few older compilers require a
user-defined default constructor (with `{}`).
The new optional `before` parameter in `cmTarget::AddSource` and
`cmGeneratorTarget::AddSource` allows to prepend a source file
to the sources list instead of appending it.

A target created by `add_custom_target` should always be a `.vcxproj`
file even if it has `.cs` sources involved in custom commands and such.
The latter case was broken by refactoring in commit v3.12.0-rc1~160^2~7
(remove TargetIsCSharpOnly() and use methods from cmGeneratorTarget,
2018-03-19). The reason is that the `HasLanguage` method added by
commit v3.12.0-rc1~239^2~6 (cmGeneratorTarget: add HasLanguage() as
wrapper for GetLanguages(), 2018-03-19) does not check the target type
and so is not a suitable check for deciding the project file extension.
The `HasLanguage` method was an attempt at an abstraction that turns
out not to work very well. Replace it with a dedicated `IsCSharpOnly`
method that considers the target type, sources, and non-transitive
`LINKER_LANGUAGE`.
Fixes: #18515
In cmGeneratorTarget and cmLocalGenerator we offer several APIs to get
build settings like include directories, compile definitions, source
files, etc. Add corresponding APIs that include backtrace information.
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.

A that target contains only `.cs` sources should be generated as a
`.csproj` project even if it links to non-CSharp static libraries.
The latter case was broken by refactoring in commit v3.12.0-rc1~160^2~7
(remove TargetIsCSharpOnly() and use methods from cmGeneratorTarget,
2018-03-19). The reason is that the `HasLanguage` method added by
commit v3.12.0-rc1~239^2~6 (cmGeneratorTarget: add HasLanguage() as
wrapper for GetLanguages(), 2018-03-19) enforces its "exclusive" check
on the combined set of source file languages and the link language.
To restore the original `TargetIsCSharpOnly` semantics, update
`HasLanguage` to enforce exclusiveness only on the list of sources.
Fixes: #18239
These new capabilities enable to manage link directories
Two new properties:
* target properties: LINK_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_LINK_DIRECTORIES
One new command
* target_link_directories(): to populate target properties
Fixes: #17215
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.
