* Add an option for explicit BYPRODUCTS of custom commands (#14963)Brad King2014-11-141-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A common idiom in CMake-based build systems is to have custom commands that generate files not listed explicitly as outputs so that these files do not have to be newer than the inputs. The file modification times of such "byproducts" are updated only when their content changes. Then other build rules can depend on the byproducts explicitly so that their dependents rebuild when the content of the original byproducts really does change. This "undeclared byproduct" approach is necessary for Makefile, VS, and Xcode build tools because if a byproduct were listed as an output of a rule then the rule would always rerun when the input is newer than the byproduct but the byproduct may never be updated. Ninja solves this problem by offering a 'restat' feature to check whether an output was really modified after running a rule and tracking the fact that it is up to date separately from its timestamp. However, Ninja also stats all dependencies up front and will only restat files that are listed as outputs of rules with the 'restat' option enabled. Therefore an undeclared byproduct that does not exist at the start of the build will be considered missing and the build will fail even if other dependencies would cause the byproduct to be available before its dependents build. CMake works around this limitation by adding 'phony' build rules for custom command dependencies in the build tree that do not have any explicit specification of what produces them. This is not optimal because it prevents Ninja from reporting an error when an input to a rule really is missing. A better approach is to allow projects to explicitly specify the byproducts of their custom commands so that no phony rules are needed for them. In order to work with the non-Ninja generators, the byproducts must be known separately from the outputs. Add a new "BYPRODUCTS" option to the add_custom_command and add_custom_target commands to specify byproducts explicitly. Teach the Ninja generator to specify byproducts as outputs of the custom commands. In the case of POST_BUILD, PRE_LINK, and PRE_BUILD events on targets that link, the byproducts must be specified as outputs of the link rule that runs the commands. Activate 'restat' for such rules so that Ninja knows it needs to check the byproducts, but not for link rules that have no byproducts.
* genex: remove the need for backtracesBen Boeckel2014-06-051-1/+1
| | | | | Rather than making dummy backtraces and passing them around, just make backtraces optional.
* add_custom_command: Normalize OUTPUT and DEPENDS paths.Stephen Kelly2014-05-281-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While tracing dependencies of a target, cmTargetTraceDependencies follows sources by full path to determine if the source is to be produced by a custom command. Commit 4959f341 (cmSourceFileLocation: Collapse full path for directory comparisons., 2014-03-27) changed the storage of target sources to be in the form of a normalized path instead of an unnormalized path. The path is followed by looking it up in a mapping via cmMakefile::GetSourceFileWithOutput to acquire an appropriate cmSourceFile. The mapping is populated with the OUTPUT components of add_custom_command invocations, however it is populated with unnormalized paths. This means that the tracing logic does not find appropriate cmSourceFiles, and does not generate appropriate build rules for the generated sources. Normalize the paths in the OUTPUT components of add_custom_command to resolve this. The paths in the DEPENDS component of add_custom_command are also not normalized, leading to the same problem again. Normalize the depends paths after generator evaluation and expansion.
* add_custom_command: Evaluate generator expressions in DEPENDSStephen Kelly2014-03-201-2/+16
| | | | | | | Rely on evaluation in cmCustomCommandGenerator for the generators. When tracing target dependencies, depend on the union of dependencies for all configurations.
* Generalize cmCustomCommandGenerator to more fieldsBrad King2014-03-121-0/+24
| | | | | | | Until now the cmCustomCommandGenerator was used only to compute the command lines of a custom command. Generalize it to get the comment, working directory, dependencies, and outputs of custom commands. Update use in all generators to support this.
* Remove some c_str() calls.Stephen Kelly2014-03-111-2/+2
| | | | | | Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or negative effect on other platforms.
* stringapi: Pass configuration names as stringsBen Boeckel2014-03-081-1/+1

* cmMakefile: make some methods take const std::string& instead of const char*Rolf Eike Beer2014-01-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Most callers already have a std::string, on which they called c_str() to pass it into these methods, which internally converted it back to std::string. Pass a std::string directly to these methods now, avoiding all these conversions. Those methods that only pass in a const char* will get the conversion to std::string now only once.
* Use cmsys::auto_ptr to manage cmCompiledGeneratorExpressionsStephen Kelly2012-12-201-2/+2
| | | | | The compiled generator expressions need to outlive the creating type. For the same reason, store the input string in a std::string.
* cmGeneratorExpression: Port users to two-stage processingStephen Kelly2012-09-181-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Removing the Process() API and removing the parameters from the constructor will allow cmGeneratorExpressions to be cached and evaluated with multiple configs for example, such as when evaluating target properties. This requires the creation of a new compiled representation of cmGeneratorExpression. The cmListFileBacktrace remains in the constructor so that we can record where a particular generator expression appeared in the CMakeLists file.
* Introduce "generator expression" syntax to custom commands (#11209)Brad King2010-12-151-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | Evaluate in the COMMAND arguments of custom commands the generator expression syntax introduced in commit d2e1f2b4 (Introduce "generator expressions" to add_test, 2009-08-11). These expressions have a syntax like $<TARGET_FILE:mytarget> and are evaluated during build system generation. This syntax allows per-configuration target output files to be referenced in custom command lines.
* Remove cmLocalGenerator::GetRealLocationBrad King2010-12-081-1/+7
| | | | | | The cmCustomCommandGenerator::GetCommand method completely replaces the purpose of this method. Re-implement GetRealLocation inline at the only remaining call site and remove it.
* Factor out common custom command generatorBrad King2010-12-081-0/+58
The Makefile, VS, and Xcode generators previously duplicated some custom command line generation code. Factor this out into a separate class cmCustomCommandGenerator shared by all generators.
