Consider the case where the find_package call for QtCore is wrapped in a
function call. Then AutoGen cannot determine the Qt version, because it
only looks at variables and directory properties. The former don't leave
the function scope and the latter are not set by default.
As a fallback, locate the moc executable via its target and call it with
the --version argument to determine the Qt version.
Issue: #22028
Since commit f65f20938c (Autogen: Avoid processing CSharp targets,
2020-11-12, v3.20.0-rc1~301^2) we collect all sources for a target
earlier than previously. Clear the sources cache so that it will be
re-computed later after AUTOGEN processing.
Fixes: #22085
Move custom command creation to cmLocalGenerator and dispatch custom
commands in cmMakefile to generate time. Generators add custom commands
using the new methods provided by cmLocalGenerator.
Issue: #12877
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
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)`
This replaces invocations of
- `cmSystemTools::IsInternallyOn` with `cmIsInternallyOn`
- `cmSystemTools::IsNOTFOUND` with `cmIsNOTFOUND`
- `cmSystemTools::IsOn` with `cmIsOn`
- `cmSystemTools::IsOff` with `cmIsOff`
To speed up the `AUTOGEN` configuration process, evaluate the compiler
features only once. The feature evaluation result is stored in the new class
`cmQtAutoGen::CompilerFeatures`, and the instance is shared by using
`std::shared_ptr`.
The new `cmQtAutogenGlobalInitializer::Keywords` class instance is bound to
the lifetime of the `cmQtAutogenGlobalInitializer` instance. Global static
const strings would be allocated at program start and deallocated at program
end. Keeping keyword strings alive only in the context where they're
needed helps to reduce the memory footprint.
This adds the cmQtAutoGenGlobalInitializer::GetExecutableTestOutput method
which caches the output of the called executable and returns the cached value
on any subsequent call.
Suppress some cases in `Source/cmGeneratorExpressionNode.cxx` and
`Source/cmUVHandlePtr.h` where a few older compilers require a
user-defined default constructor (with `{}`).
We used to silently disable AUTOMOC/UIC/RCC when no valid Qt
version was found. This patch introduces the generation of
a warning message in that case.
Allow to force moc/rcc/uic compiler used for AUTO(MOC|RCC|UIC).
Setting these properties is only necessary if you are going to do
strange things like build these tools as part of your own build system.
Setting these properties will also prevent cmake from testing the
binary: It is user-provided and assumed to be valid.
Handle Qt version > 5 in Qt AutoGen.
This patch does *NOT* include tests and documentation: There is no
Qt 6 yet. I still need this patch to work on a cmake based build
system for Qt 6.
This teaches CMake the variables
- CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET
- CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTOGEN_TARGET_NAME
- CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTORCC_TARGET
- CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTORCC_TARGET_NAME
which control the generation of global
``autogen`` and ``autorcc`` targets.
Closes#17721
