Refactoring in commit 72d116ee68 (GenEx: list oriented genexes use
cmList class, 2023-03-29, v3.27.0-rc1~205^2) accidentally caused
empty elements to be dropped by the `REMOVE_DUPLICATES` genex.
Fix it and add a test case.
Fixes: #25080
This generator expression is the inverse of `LINK_ONLY` and only coveys
usage requirements for the purposes of compilation. Its intended use is
to avoid needing to export targets that do not have link usage
requirements (e.g., header-only libraries) when used by another target.

This generator expression is the inverse of `LINK_ONLY` and only coveys
usage requirements for the purposes of compilation. Its intended use is
to avoid needing to export targets that do not have link usage
requirements (e.g., header-only libraries) when used by another target.
It will also be used to represent private usage requirements on exported
C++ module-containing targets in the future.
Eventually there should be logic to collapse nesting of
`$<COMPILE_ONLY>` and `$<LINK_ONLY>` when generating instances of
either. A TODO is left in the code for this case.

Issue a deprecation warning on calls to `cmake_minimum_required` or
`cmake_policy` that set policies based on versions older than 3.5.
Note that the effective policy version includes `...<max>` treatment.
Update the check from commit 5845c218d7 (Deprecate compatibility with
CMake versions older than 2.8.12, 2020-06-12, v3.19.0-rc1~629^2).
Logically revert commit 390a7d8647 (cmTargetPropertyComputer: Implement
GetProperty without cmMakefile, 2016-10-13, v3.8.0-rc1~445^2~9).
It relied on using `cmListFileBacktrace` to get a scope in which to
look up policies.
This does remove a backtrace from `LOCATION` property errors at generate
time, but the backtrace we reported before was incorrect. It pointed at
the addition of a target, not to the reference to the property.
The OLD behaviors of all policies are deprecated, but only by
documentation. Add an explicit deprecation diagnostic for policies
introduced in CMake 3.14 and below to encourage projects to port
away from setting policies to OLD.
These generator expressions can only be used in link options properties.
These expressions return the arguments respectively for device and host link
step, otherwise return an empty string.
On AIX, plugins meant to be loaded into executables via `dlopen` must be
linked with access to a list of symbols exported from the executable in
order to use them (when not using runtime linking). The AIX linker
supports specifying this list as an "import file" passed on the command
line either via the `-bI:...` option or (with a leading `#! .` line) as
a normal input file like any other library file.
The linker import file plays the same role on AIX as import libraries do
on Windows. Teach CMake to enable its import library abstraction on AIX
for executables with the `ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property set. Teach
our internal `ExportImportList` script to optionally generate a leading
`#! .` line at the top of the generated export/import list. Update our
rule for linking an executable with exports to generate a public-facing
"import library" implemented as an AIX linker import file.
With this approach, our existing infrastructure for handling import
libraries on Windows will now work for AIX linker import files too:
* Plugins that link to their executable's symbols will be automatically
linked using the import file on the command line.
* The executable's import file will be (optionally) installed and
exported for use in linking externally-built plugins.
This will allow executables and their plugins to build even if we later
turn off runtime linking.
Issue: #19163
For special properties like `INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`, the pointer returned
by `cmTarget::GetProperty` is only valid until the next time the same
special property is queried on *any* target. When evaluating a nested
`TARGET_PROPERTY` generator expression we may look up such a property
more than once on different targets. Fix `TargetPropertyNode::Evaluate`
to store the lookup result in locally owned memory earlier.

Extend the genex added by commit ca6ba3fee5 (Genex: Add a SHELL_PATH
expression, 2015-09-24, v3.4.0-rc1~37^2) to accept a `;`-list of paths,
convert them all, and generate a list separated by the native shell
`PATH``` separator.
Adds `Fortran_COMPILER_ID` and `Fortran_COMPILER_VERSION` generator
expression support to match equivalent `C_COMPILER_ID`,
`CXX_COMPILER_ID`, `C_COMPILER_VERSION`, and `CXX_COMPILER_VERSION`
support.
This is very helpful in the case where the C/C++ compiler suite is a
different type of compiler from the platform Fortran compiler and
projects use generator expressions to assign compiler flags and
definitions. (e.g. `GNU` C/C++ and `SunPro` Fortran on Linux)
The old behavior of $<IN_LIST:...> is inconsistent with that of
if(IN_LIST), in that it does not find an empty search item even if
the list contains empty items. This change adds a new policy to
correctly handle empty items and make the behavior more consistent
with if(IN_LIST).
Fixes: #18556
Evaluate to false on `$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:Lang>` if language `Lang`
is not loaded. This is helpful in exported targets consumed in other
projects that may not enable all the same languages.
Fixes: #17952
