For each usage requirement (such as `INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` or
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`), the value of the generator expression
`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:target,prop>` includes the values of the same
property from the transitive closure of link libraries of the target.
In cases that a target's transitive closure of dependencies does not
depend on the target being linked (the "head" target), we can memoize
whether or not a usage requirement property exists at all for that
target. When a usage requirement does not exist for a target, we
can skip evaluating it for every consuming target.
Fixes: #18964, #18965
In large projects the generation process spends a lot of time evaluating
usage requirements through transitive interface properties on targets.
This can be seen in a contrived example with deep dependencies:
set(prev "")
foreach(i RANGE 1 500)
add_library(a${i} a.c)
target_compile_definitions(a${i} PUBLIC A${i})
target_link_libraries(a${i} PUBLIC ${prev})
set(prev a${i})
endforeach()
For each usage requirement (such as `INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` or
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`), the value of the generator expression
`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:target,prop>` includes the values of the same
property from the transitive closure of link libraries of the target.
Previously we computed this by constructing a generator expression
string like `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:lib,INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS>` and
recursively evaluating it with the generator expression engine. Avoid
the string construction and parsing by creating and using a dedicated
evaluation method `cmGeneratorTarget::EvaluateInterfaceProperty` that
looks up the properties directly.
Issue: #18964, #18965
Rather than taking a number of out parameters for the various names,
create a structure that is reused for both `GetLibraryNames` and
`GetExecutableNames`. Replace uses according to the new interface.
Suppress some cases in `Source/cmGeneratorExpressionNode.cxx` and
`Source/cmUVHandlePtr.h` where a few older compilers require a
user-defined default constructor (with `{}`).
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.

A target created by `add_custom_target` should always be a `.vcxproj`
file even if it has `.cs` sources involved in custom commands and such.
The latter case was broken by refactoring in commit v3.12.0-rc1~160^2~7
(remove TargetIsCSharpOnly() and use methods from cmGeneratorTarget,
2018-03-19). The reason is that the `HasLanguage` method added by
commit v3.12.0-rc1~239^2~6 (cmGeneratorTarget: add HasLanguage() as
wrapper for GetLanguages(), 2018-03-19) does not check the target type
and so is not a suitable check for deciding the project file extension.
The `HasLanguage` method was an attempt at an abstraction that turns
out not to work very well. Replace it with a dedicated `IsCSharpOnly`
method that considers the target type, sources, and non-transitive
`LINKER_LANGUAGE`.
Fixes: #18515
In cmGeneratorTarget and cmLocalGenerator we offer several APIs to get
build settings like include directories, compile definitions, source
files, etc. Add corresponding APIs that include backtrace information.
Carry a backtrace on every link item, not just link implementation
items. For now the non-impl items will still have empty backtraces at
runtime, but this will allow us to introduce values over time.

A that target contains only `.cs` sources should be generated as a
`.csproj` project even if it links to non-CSharp static libraries.
The latter case was broken by refactoring in commit v3.12.0-rc1~160^2~7
(remove TargetIsCSharpOnly() and use methods from cmGeneratorTarget,
2018-03-19). The reason is that the `HasLanguage` method added by
commit v3.12.0-rc1~239^2~6 (cmGeneratorTarget: add HasLanguage() as
wrapper for GetLanguages(), 2018-03-19) enforces its "exclusive" check
on the combined set of source file languages and the link language.
To restore the original `TargetIsCSharpOnly` semantics, update
`HasLanguage` to enforce exclusiveness only on the list of sources.

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
Avoid exposing the item name implicitly as std::string. When the item
is a target, avoid storing a second copy of its name.
Most link item construction is paired with calls to `FindTargetToLink`
to get the possible target pointer. Rename these methods to
`ResolveLinkItem` and refactor them to construct the entire item.
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

When evaluating `INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`, or evaluating
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` on an imported target, thread the
compile language through to the generator expression evaluator so
that it can support `$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:...>`.
Fixes: #17811
Adds cmGeneratorTarget::clearSourcesCache() which clears the cache
of precomputed sources lists and object names. The cache gets
recomputed on demand.
Clearing the cache is necessary in case an OBJECT library
gets a source added after a target (ORIGIN) that includes it
computed it's external sources cache.
This may happen in AUTOMOC when ORIGIN is processed before the
OBJECT library which gets a mocs_compilation.cpp file added.

The code
add_library(A OBJECT a.c)
target_sources(A PRIVATE $<TARGET_OBJECTS:A>)
used to crash CMake via infinite recursion while evaluating the
generator expression. Then the change in commit v3.9.0-rc1~266^2~1
(cmGeneratorTarget: Replace source classifier implementation,
2017-04-07) avoided the infinite recursion because GetKindedSources now
creates a map entry and initializes it once. If it is called again on
the same target during that initialization, the partially computed
results are returned. This is still wrong but does not crash.
Detect and diagnose this case instead.

Fixes: #16578
We only define `INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` behavior for C, CXX, and
Fortran languages. Do not try to enable support for other languages.
Furthermore, each language builds with a different compiler, so check
for support by CMake and the compiler for each language independently.
Fixes: #16944
In order to support generator expressions in target COMPILE_FEATURES
we apply them at generate time. Move this step to the beginning of
generation instead of doing it on demand while collecting flags.
This avoids repeating the process unnecessarily, and will then allow
`cmLocalGenerator::AddCompilerRequirementFlag` to be used any time
during generation.
