Summary0011536: Can't use assembler files with Visual Studio 10 generator
DescriptionWith Visual Studio 2010 generator I can't use assembler files. If I try to use them as supposed to:
* enable_lanuages(ASM_MASM)
* add_executable(... a.asm)
then generator will add a.asm to a project as custom-command file but without any command associated with it (see bug#0008170)

If I try to use custom command I used for Visual Studio 8 and 9:
add_cusotom_command(
  DEPENDS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/a.cxx
  OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/a.obj
  COMMAND ml /c /coff /Zi
    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/a.cxx
    /Fo ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/a.obj
    WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
)
then Visual Studio 10 fails to load generated project reporting:
  error: The item "a.obj" already exists under the filter ""
The code responsible for placing object files under unnamed filter is cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteObjSources. It doesn't check whether object files came from a custom command.

So, it fails if you have a.cxx and a.obj in the same target. That is sort of hard to fix. If you had a_c.cxx or a_obj.obj then it would work right?

I don't feel competent for adding this to the VS generators, so I'm un-assigning this one.

Not for 2.8.5 - postponing until a future release

Alex, regarding your reply in 0012465 about not having a Windows machine available, we (ReactOS) can arrange access to one of our machines through RDP, and I'll assist you with anything you'll need that machine to have, in order to tackle the CMake Windows/VS issues. Let me know if you're interested.

Unset target version, taking off roadmap.

Will put back on roadmap if somebody volunteers to take this issue on...

These bugs were deferred from target version 2.8.10 to 2.8.11 based on the responses to this email thread on the CMake developer's mailing list:
