AJIOB 6874efb592 MSVC: Always define a character set
When targeting the MSVC ABI, define `_MBCS` by default if the project
does not define `_SBCS` or `_UNICODE`.  Visual Studio has long defined
one of the three character set macros automatically.  For consistency,
define it when compiling for the MSVC ABI with other generators.
Add policy CMP0204 for compatibility.

Taylor Sasser 62a1d3e7f1 FileAPI: Add symbolic property to targets 2025-10-02 10:46:16 -04:00
Taylor Sasser d92b6c3e20 CPS: Add Symbolic Components
Adds support for "symbolic" components, which represent feature-level
capabilities of a package that do not correspond to actual build targets.
These are modeled as pseudo-targets, using the INTERFACE type as a base,
and can be queried via:

  get_target_property(... <tgt> "SYMBOLIC")

This enables consumers to declare requirements on optional features
(e.g., SSL support) even when they do not map to concrete targets.

Martin Duffy 97adbc91fa instrumentation: Move target data into content files
Create a single place to store target data to prevent duplication.
This moves `targetType` and `targetLabels` out of the snippet files
and into a target map in the `cmakeContent` file referenced by each
snippet.

previously removed by commit afb998704e (Remove filtering of allowed
INTERFACE library properties, 2020-07-14, v3.19.0-rc1~346^2~2).
