Since out-of-dir linking is enabled by CMP0079, which is newer than
CMP0022, it is likely that both will be set in practice when out-of-dir
linking is used.
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.
The relative path check added by commit 5838aba1aa (Export: Report error
on relative include with genex., 2013-11-26, v3.0.0-rc1~285^2) was added
one condition too early. If the value starts in `${_IMPORT_PREFIX}`
(which comes from `$<INSTALL_PREFIX>`) then it is an absolute path.

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
Previously the command did not allow naming targets on the LHS that
were not created in the calling directory. Lift this restriction to
enable more flexible use by projects.
Targets named on the RHS will need to be looked up during generation in
the scope of the call site rather than the scope of the LHS target.
Introduce an internal syntax in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties
to specify target names that need to be looked up in a directory other
than that containing the target on which the property is set. Add
minimal documentation of the syntax to help users that encounter it.
Unfortunately CMake previously did allow such calls in the case that
only `INTERFACE` libraries are specified, but those libraries would be
looked up in the target's directory rather than the caller's. Add
policy `CMP0079` to enable the new behavior with new lookup scope in a
compatible way.
Fixes: #17943
This family enable to manage link flags
Three new properties:
* directory property: LINK_OPTIONS
* target properties: LINK_OPTIONS and INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS
Two new commands
* add_link_options(): to populate directory property
* target_link_options(): to populate target properties
Fixes: #16543
This change introduces an additional property that may be set on a
target to allow additional properties to be exported. Normally only a
limited number of properties are exported.
Additional properties may be exported by simply setting the
`EXPORT_PROPERTIES` property on a target that is exported.
Teach the `install` and `export` commands to support installing and
exporting `OBJECT` libraries without their object files. Transform
them to `INTERFACE` libraries in such cases.
For `install(TARGETS)`, activate this when no destination for the object
files is specified. For `export`, activate this only under Xcode with
multiple architectures when we have no well-defined object file
locations to give to clients.
Teach install() and export() to handle the actual object files.
Disallow this on Xcode with multiple architectures because it
still cannot be cleanly supported there.

The target_link_libraries command records the PRIVATE dependencies of a
STATIC library in INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES as "$<LINK_ONLY:dep>". This
hides the target name from export namespacing logic inside a generator
expression. When user-written generator expressions reference a target
name they must put it inside a "$<TARGET_NAME:dep>" expression to allow
the export logic to rename the target. In the case that the private
dependency is not already a generator expression, target_link_libraries
must use "$<LINK_ONLY:$<TARGET_NAME:dep>>" to allow the export logic to
rename the target.

This property was added by commit v2.8.9~204^2~2 (Support building
shared libraries or modules without soname, 2012-04-22). A test for
using the property on MODULE libraries was added by commit
v2.8.9~204^2~1 (Test NO_SONAME property, 2012-04-23). Add such a test
for SHARED libraries too.
If {ARCHIVE,LIBRARY,RUNTIME}_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is set with a genex then
do not add the per-config subdirectory on multi-config generators.
This will allow projects to use $<CONFIG> to place the per-config
part of the directory path somewhere other than the end.
This will allow per-config destinations for targets in EXPORT sets.
Using multiple install(TARGETS) with separate CONFIGURATIONS is
rejected as a target appearing more than once in an export set.
Now instead one can write
install(TARGETS foo EXPORT exp DESTINATION lib/$<CONFIG>)
to get a single logical membership of the target in the export set
while still having a per-config destination.
When install(EXPORT) is given an absolute destination we cannot compute
the install prefix relative to the installed export file location.
Previously we disallowed installation of targets in such exports with a
relative destination, but did not enforce this for target property
values besides the location of the main target file. This could lead to
broken installations when the EXPORT is installed to an absolute path
but usage requirements are specified relative to the install prefix.
Since an EXPORT installed to an absolute destination cannot be relocated
we can just hard-code the value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as the base for
relative paths. This will allow absolute install(EXPORT) destinations
to work with relative destinations for targets and usage requirements.
Extend the ExportImport test with a case covering this behavior.
Teach the install(FILES) and install(PROGRAMS) commands to evaluate
generator expressions in the list of files.
Extend the ExportImport test to cover installation cases involving
generator expressions.
Code such as
target_include_directories(foo INTERFACE
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:include$<FOO>>
)
should be treated as a relative directory, despite the genex, after
the INSTALL_INTERFACE is stripped away.
Previously, this would generate a relative directory on export, which
would be an error on import, so no policy is needed.
Code such as
install(TARGETS ...
INCLUDES DESTINATION $<INSTALL_INTERFACE:include>
)
should behave as if the INSTALL_INTERFACE wrapper were not present.
In code such as
install(TARGETS ...
INCLUDES DESTINATION $<FOO>include
)
the generator expressions are evaluated at generate-time. Delay
determining whether each entry is a relative path until after
the generator expressions are evaluated. Such relative paths
are based relative to the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Re-insert the semicolon which was removed during splitting.
Commit d777b8e7 (Genex: Allow relative paths in INSTALL_INTERFACE.,
2013-07-25) introduced the prefixItems method to allow relative paths
in the argument of the INSTALL_INTERFACE expression. That method was
buggy in that it did not re-introduce the semicolon separator in
the result.
This bug also affects paths which are already absolute in user code.
The new feature of install(TARGETS ... INCLUDES DESTINATION) introduced
in commit 650e61f8 (Add a convenient way to add the includes install
dir to the INTERFACE., 2013-01-05) introduced this crash. If the
new feature is used with a target which has no
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, a segfault occurred.
Export the INCLUDES DESTINATION without appending to the
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the target itself. That way, a target
can be exported multiple times with different INCLUDES DESTINATION
without unintended cross-pollution of export sets.
The test uses generate_export_header(cmp0022OLD ...) to generate the
cmp0022_export.h header used by both cmp0022OLD and cmp0022NEW. In
the latter the _EXPORTS symbol does not match what the header expects
so the library does not export anything. The Watcom linker does not
like to create shared libraries that do not export any symbols.
Fix this by setting the DEFINE_SYMBOL property on cmp0022NEW to match
that of cmp0022OLD as the header expects.
