Target dependencies of the corresponding ``_autogen`` target.
|
||||
|
||||
Targets which have their :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` target ``ON`` have a
|
||||
corresponding ``_autogen`` target which is used to autogenerate generate moc
|
||||
files. As this ``_autogen`` target is created at generate-time, it is not
|
||||
possible to define dependencies of it, such as to create inputs for the ``moc``
|
||||
executable.
|
||||
Targets which have their :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` property
|
||||
``ON`` have a corresponding ``_autogen`` target which is used to auto generate
|
||||
``moc`` and ``uic`` files. As this ``_autogen`` target is created at
|
||||
generate-time, it is not possible to define dependencies of it,
|
||||
such as to create inputs for the ``moc`` or ``uic`` executable.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS`` target property can be set instead to a list of
|
||||
dependencies for the ``_autogen`` target. The buildsystem will be generated to
|
||||
depend on its contents.
|
||||
The :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS` target property can be set instead to a
|
||||
list of dependencies of the ``_autogen`` target. Dependencies can be target
|
||||
names or file names.

Use cases
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
If :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` depends on a file that is either
|
||||
|
||||
- a :prop_sf:`GENERATED` non C++ file (e.g. a :prop_sf:`GENERATED` ``.json``
|
||||
or ``.ui`` file) or
|
||||
- a :prop_sf:`GENERATED` C++ file that isn't recognized by :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`
|
||||
and :prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` because it's skipped by :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOMOC`,
|
||||
:prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOUIC`, :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOGEN` or :policy:`CMP0071` or
|
||||
- a file that isn't in the target's sources
|
||||
|
||||
it must added to :prop_tgt:`AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS`.
