This changes `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` to take a `cm::string_view` as value
argument instead of a `const char *`.
Benefits are:
- `std::string` can be passed to `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` directly without
the `c_str()` plus string length recomputation fallback.
- Lengths of literals passed to `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` can be computed at
compile time.
In various sources uses of `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` are adapted to avoid
`std::string::c_str` calls and the `std::string` is passed directly.
Uses of `cmMakefile::AddDefinition`, where a `nullptr` `const char*` might
be passed to `cmMakefile::AddDefinition` are extended with `nullptr` checks.
The value of `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` is computed by Visual Studio
generators based on `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` or some default.
Prior to the VS 2019 generator, the default was always `Win32`.
However, for the `Visual Studio 16 2019` generator, the default is
based on the host platform.
Store the default in a new `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME_DEFAULT` variable for
use by project code. This is particularly useful in toolchain files
because they are allowed to set `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` and so
`CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME` is not yet known. Of course the toolchain file
author knows whether it will set `CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM`, and if not
then `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME_DEFAULT` provides the platform name that
will be used.

The Intel Fortran `.vfproj` files do support both Fortran and the
Windows Resource compiler (`.rc)` files. Prior to CMake 3.9 we did not
support that, but commit 2c9f35789d (VS: Decide project type by linker
lang as fallback, 2017-03-30, v3.9.0-rc1~340^2) accidentally enabled it.
It was then broken by commit d3d2c3cd49 (VS: Fix Fortran target type
selection when linking C++ targets, 2019-02-04, v3.14.0-rc1~13^2).
Restore support for Fortran+RC in VS projects and add a test case.
Fixes: #19002
Since commit 2c9f35789d (VS: Decide project type by linker lang as
fallback, 2017-03-30, v3.9.0-rc1~340^2) we consider the linker language
when detecting whether to generate a `.vfproj` or `.vcxproj` file.
However, this could cause C-only projects to become `.vfproj` files if
they link to Fortran projects. Instead we should consider only the
`LINKER_LANGUAGE` property on the target itself. This approach is
already used for CSharp. It allows project code to specify the project
file type for a target with no sources but does not allow linked targets
to affect it.
Fixes: #18687
When a target is created it now inherits the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL property
from its directory. This change makes it possible to include a target
in "all", even if its directory has been marked as EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL.
Add this generator *without* support for specifying the target
architecture in the generator name. cmake-gui will be taught
to provide a field for this, and command-line builds can use -A.
Also, teach this generator to select a default target architecture
based on the host architecture.
Fixes: #18689

When specifying a pure C# target in the `target_link_libraries()` call to
another C++ target, a `<ProjectReference>` was setup for it (we wanted this)
but also a corresponding `.lib` was added under `<AdditionalDependencies>`
(we didn't want this).
This change introduces a check that prevents `.lib` linker options from
being used when the corresponding target for that library is a C# target.
Fixes: #17678
* Change some functions to take `std::string` instead of
`const char*` in the following classes: `cmMakeFile`, `cmake`,
`cmCoreTryCompile`, `cmSystemTools`, `cmState`, `cmLocalGenerator`
and a few others.
* Greatly reduce using of `const char*` overloads for
`cmSystemTools::MakeDirectory` and `cmSystemTools::RelativePath`.
* Remove many redundant `c_str()` conversions throughout the code.
Some generators auto-generate targets. For example VS generators create
the ALL_BUILD target. Add the ability to mark targets as generator
provided and return that info through cmake-server codemodel.
Rather than injecting `CMakeLists.txt` files into each target's
`SOURCES`, teach the generators to add them during generation using
dedicated code. This avoids mutating the original targets, and avoids
polluting `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,SOURCES>` with generator-specific
content.
This also avoids listing the `CMakeLists.txt` sources in the results of
`CMAKE_DEBUG_TARGET_PROPERTIES==SOURCES` so the `RunCMake.TargetSources`
test no longer needs a separate case for IDEs.
Since commit v3.9.0-rc4~4^2 (Vs: allow CSharp targets to be linked to
CXX targets, 2017-06-20) CSharp targets get `ProjectReference` entries
to their dependencies. This causes VS to also reference the
dependency's output assembly by default, which is incorrect for
non-managed targets.
Fix this by setting `ReferenceOutputAssembly` to `false` for targets
that can't provide output assemblies. Unmanaged C++ targets (shared
libs & executables) can still be referenced and a warning will be shown
in the IDE but the build will not break anymore.
Fixes: #17172
The `WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` target property exports all symbols
found in object files explicitly given to the linker. However, the
linker may also find additional symbols in dependencies and copy them
into the linked binary (e.g. from `msvcrt.lib`). Provide a way to
export an explicit list of such symbols by adding a `.def` file as a
source file.
Fixes: #16473
Comments that indicate a special include order is necessary because
GetCurrentDirectory might get redefined are outdated. Remove those
outdated comments and use the normal ordering of includes.
Use `cmGeneratorTarget::ModuleDefinitionInfo` to combine the
implementation of `WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` with that of using a
`.def` file as a source. Only one of these could be used within a
single target before anyway.
Teach Visual Studio generators to include external object files in the
list of objects whose symbols are to be exported. The Makefile and
Ninja generators already did this.
