Hi, Last year we discussed the addition of a INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property to replace the (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)? properties.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/5398 After a lot of back-and-forth, I bypassed the issue of that property by adding generator expression support to the (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)? properties instead. Part of the policy under discussion relied on an assumption that the LINK_LIBRARIES property does not contain generator expressions, but that assumption won't be true anymore after 2.8.11 is released. I think that related to the fact that if LINK_LIBRARIES contains generator expressions, and the link implementation is the link interface, then only the new INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES should be populated and not the old interface properties (because they couldn't handle the genexes). So, if we still want to introduce INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES, we may need to re-think that part. Alternatively we could decide to finally drop the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property. If we do introduce it, I'd want to get it in before the INTERFACE_LIBRARY so that that target type only supports the new property. Comments?
