[cmake-developers] Alias targets for 2.8.12
Hi there, it would be useful for KDE Frameworks to have ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.12. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.core/80233/focus=80247 I finished the topic and pushed it to next in case it can go into that release. I won't be available most of today to change it if needed, but I can fix it up tomorrow if needed. Thanks, Steve. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers

I won't be available most of today to change it if needed, but I can fix it up tomorrow if needed. The topic looks like a great start. I won't promise to take it for 2.8.12 yet but let's proceed with review. - The documentation in add_library and add_executable lists a bunch of things one can't do but not an example of what one can do. I think this documentation should have an explicit list of what is intended and allowed and then exclude everything else. That way if we missed a use case we can treat it as a bug later and add the error case. - Should add_executable be (dis)allowed to add a library alias, and vice-versa for add_library? - The documentation does not mention that alias targets cannot be installed or exported. - Add more positive use cases (or negative if not allowed) to the test suite: - add_custom_command/add_custom_target COMMAND argv0 translation - add_test NAME/COMMAND signature argv0 translation - generator expression references e.g. $TARGET_FILE:... in add_test and add_custom_* commands - Alias for an object library with $TARGET_OBJECTS:... - Look for other uses of cmMakefile FindTargetToUse and FindTarget; all of them need tests for alias behavior and/or should be preceded by !IsAlias checks (many are already done). - How does this interact with $TARGET_PROPERTY:NAME? - When if(TARGET xyz) returns true how can one tell from CMake code whether xyz is an alias or a real target? Can one get the real target if it is an alias?

[cmake-developers] [CMake 0014331]: Generating projects for visual studio (2010, 2012, others?) creates corrupt projects if path includes ''

Issue ID: 14331
Category: CMake
Reproducibility:always
Severity: minor
Priority: high
Status: new

Summary:Generating projects for visual studio (2010,2012,
others?) creates corrupt projects if path includes ''
Description:
This simple make file creates corrupt .vcxproj files (files that visual studio
refuses to load).
---
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
FILE( WRITE test.c int main(){ return 0;} )
include_directories( a b )
add_executable( test test.c )
the project file is expected to be XML, so it parses first using those rules,
and '' should be emitted as 'amp;' instead.
Steps to Reproduce:
use visual studio generator on the attached CMakeLists.txt, then load the .sln
produced. None of the projects will load.

Re: [cmake-developers] Please review CXXFeatures.cmake

A test for the component check is missing, but all of your other suggestions should have been addressed. The variable is case-sensitive, so it is CXXFeatures_FIND_COMPONENTS, not CXXFEATURES_FIND_COMPONENTS. Fixed. I'm not sure I would have made this a find-module, instead of a simple module which can be included and then provides a function, but I think this doesn't matter much. Because I get things like components for free then ;) And of course, before merging into cmake, the cmake_minimum_required() call can be removed. Yes, and some other minor things. I have a list somewhere, probably on my other machine.
