* Add the INTERFACE_LIBRARY target type.Stephen Kelly2013-10-072-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for this target type. The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target, but with the additional restriction that it may not contain double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13. An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library. At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may be added as a feature in a later commit. The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes related to that.

* Refactor generation of shared library flagsStephen Kelly2012-06-127-0/+108
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not exclusive to them. Refactor generation of these flags to use new purpose-specific platform variables CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries. Add a new POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior. Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to allow easy global configuration in projects. Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely. We must leave it set in case projects reference the value. Furthermore, if a project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new value to be used. Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with projects that modify this platform variable. Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get meaningful results.
