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.

Since commit e89ad0f94e (install: Allow installing targets created in
another directory, 2018-06-18, v3.13.0-rc1~407^2) we support calling
`install(TARGETS)` for targets created in another directory. However,
install generators are associated with the directory in which the call
to `install()` appears. This may not be the same directory in which the
target is defined. Record in each target the list of install generators
it has.
Fixes: #19546
On AIX, symbols in executables must be exported in order to be visible
to modules (plugins) they load via `dlopen`. Prior to policy `CMP0065`,
CMake linked all executables with flags to export symbols, but the NEW
behavior for that policy is to do so only for executables that have the
`ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property set. In both cases, CMake has always
used the AIX linker option `-bexpall` option to export symbols from
executables.
This has worked fairly well with the XL compiler, but with the GNU
compiler it works only for C ABI symbols. The reason is that `-bexpall`
does not export symbols starting in `_` but the GNU C++ ABI mangles all
symbols with a leading `_`. Therefore we have only supported C ABI
plugins with the GNU compiler on AIX. Some projects have tried to work
around this by replacing `-bexpall` with `-bexpfull`, but the latter
often exports symbols that we do not want exported.
Avoid using `-bexpall` for executables by instead using by our own
internal `ExportImportList` script to compute symbol export lists from
the object files to be linked into an executable. Pass the explicitly
computed export list to the AIX linker's `-bE:...` option. We already
do this for shared object exports.
Issue: #19163
An old workaround for `std::allocator_traits<>::value_type` lints from
IWYU on `std::vector<>` usage breaks IWYU's handling of `<memory>`.
Convert the workaround to use the same approach we already use for a
workaround of `std::__decay_and_strip<>::::__type` lints. Then update
the `<memory>` inclusions to follow the now-correct IWYU lints.
The `cmTargetMap` type is only used in the context of `cmMakefile`.
Therefore it is the most appropriate place to declare it.
This moves the `cmTarget.h/cmTargets` type definition to
`cmMakefile::cmTargetMap`.
To manage the lifetime of `cmTargetInternals`, the private implementation of
`cmTarget`, use `std::unique_ptr<cmTargetInternals>` instead of
`cmTargetInternalPointer`, which is removed.
`cmTarget` is made non-copyable but movable.
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.
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
