In commit a1ad0a699b (target_link_libraries: Allow use with targets in
other directories, 2018-09-07, v3.13.0-rc1~94^2) we accidentally broke
the logic that adds `$<LINK_ONLY:...>` to private dependencies of static
libraries in their `INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` in the case that the
dependency is added from outside the directory creating the library.
The check for a valid target name should apply to the original name
specified by the caller and not the encoded cross-directory reference.
Fixes: #19197
Prior to this commit, linking against an object library did not
propagate private link dependencies of object libraries to their
consuming targets. This change implements the correct behavior.

Previously the command did not allow naming targets on the LHS that
were not created in the calling directory. Lift this restriction to
enable more flexible use by projects.
Targets named on the RHS will need to be looked up during generation in
the scope of the call site rather than the scope of the LHS target.
Introduce an internal syntax in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties
to specify target names that need to be looked up in a directory other
than that containing the target on which the property is set. Add
minimal documentation of the syntax to help users that encounter it.
Unfortunately CMake previously did allow such calls in the case that
only `INTERFACE` libraries are specified, but those libraries would be
looked up in the target's directory rather than the caller's. Add
policy `CMP0079` to enable the new behavior with new lookup scope in a
compatible way.

Revert commit v3.12.0-rc1~82^2 (target_link_libraries: Allow use with
targets in other directories, 2018-05-11). The RHS target scoping and
visibility rules are not clear and will need further investigation
before the feature can be added.

Note: This only allows `OBJECT` libraries to be on the right-hand side
of `target_link_libraries` but still does not link its object-files to
the target on the left-hand side.
Issue: #14778
The proper way to use libraries is now through `target_link_libraries`
for things such as usage requirements, compile definitions, include
directories, etc. To facilitate this, allow `OBJECT` libraries to "link"
to other libraries.

Issue: #14778
The implementation of `target_link_libraries` did grow over the years
when new features where added. This commit cleans up the implementation
and adds comments to better document its intention.
The behavior of `target_link_libraries` itself is left untouched.
Now, several `INTERFACE_*` properties can be set on `IMPORTED` targets,
not only via `set_property` and `set_target_properties` but also via
`target_compile_definitions`, `target_compile_features`,
`target_compile_options`, `target_include_directories`, `target_sources`
and `target_link_libraries`.

Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

In commit v3.5.0-rc1~43^2 (Fix export of STATIC library PRIVATE
dependencies with CMP0022 NEW, 2016-01-15) we taught
target_link_libraries to generate `$<LINK_ONLY:$<TARGET_NAME:dep>>` in
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES instead of `$<LINK_ONLY:dep>` so that `dep` can
be recognized as a target name and updated during export. However, this
approach does not work when `dep` is just a plain library name and not a
target because `$<TARGET_NAME:...>` requires the name of a reachable
target.
Since we do not know during target_link_libraries whether the name will
correspond to a reachable target or not, we cannot inject the
`$<TARGET_NAME:...>` expression. Revert this change and solve the
original problem instead by teaching the export logic to recognize and
update target names directly in `$<LINK_ONLY:...>` expressions.

The target_link_libraries command records the PRIVATE dependencies of a
STATIC library in INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES as "$<LINK_ONLY:dep>". This
hides the target name from export namespacing logic inside a generator
expression. When user-written generator expressions reference a target
name they must put it inside a "$<TARGET_NAME:dep>" expression to allow
the export logic to rename the target. In the case that the private
dependency is not already a generator expression, target_link_libraries
must use "$<LINK_ONLY:$<TARGET_NAME:dep>>" to allow the export logic to
rename the target.

Since commit v3.3.0-rc1~62^2~5 (cmTarget: Store only cmListFileContext
for CMP0023 handling, 2015-05-18) a call to target_link_libraries on a
target that was defined in another (non-ancestor) directory crashes
because no execution context is left active. Fix this by getting the
execution context from the actual cmMakefile where the current
target_link_libraries call takes place. Test this by verifying that
such calls correctly produce an error diagnostic instead of crashing.
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.
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.
Resolve conflict in Source/cmTarget.cxx by integrating the changes to
the internal copy constructor from both sides. Also resolve a logical
conflict by dropping the special case for INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets.
Since cmTarget::SetMakefile already forces CMP0022 to NEW for such
targets we need no special handling.
Resolve conflict in Source/cmTargetLinkLibrariesCommand.h by dropping
the documentation change. We will make the same change in the new
location of the same documentation in a separate commit.
Resolve conflicts in
Tests/RunCMake/CMP0022/CMP0022-WARN-empty-old-stderr.txt
Tests/RunCMake/CMP0022/RunCMakeTest.cmake
by taking the side from the 'policy-CMP0022-fixes' branch.
The CMP0022 NEW behavior is that the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property
exactly defines the link interface. The plain target_link_libraries
signature says linking is transitive by default, so it should populate
the property.
Teach the target_link_libraries plain signature to populate the
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES regardless of the CMP0022 setting. Refactor
the cmTarget::ComputeLinkInterface checks that warn when the policy is
not set to compare the new property to either the explicitly set old
link interface properties or the link implementation fallback for all
linkable target types, not just static libraries.
This fixes a regression in 2.8.12.0 that caused target_link_libraries to
not implement transitive linking in the plain signature once the policy
CMP0022 is set to NEW.
In commit c4373b33 (cmTarget: Make GetProperty() const, 2013-10-29)
we accidentally changed the cmTargetLinkLibrariesCommand.cxx logic
in a way that looks like a local experiment leftover that went
unnoticed due to the size of the other changes in the commit.
Revert it.
This has follow-on effects for other methods and classes. Further
work on making the use of const cmTarget pointers common can be
done, particularly with a view to generate-time methods.
