Summary0014037: target_compile_definitions empty $<CONFIGURATION> generator
DescriptionI came across weird behaviour in the 2.8.11rc1.

target_compile_definitions(test PUBLIC $<$<CONFIG:Debug>:TEST_DEBUG> $<CONFIG:Debug> $<CONFIGURATION>)

Only adds "0" to the compile definitions in every Visual Studio configuration, including "Debug", leading me to believe that $<CONFIGURATION> is not set correctly.
Steps To Reproducecmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.11)
project(test)

file(WRITE test.cpp "#include <stdio.h>")

add_library(test test.cpp)

target_compile_definitions(test PUBLIC $<$<CONFIG:Debug>:TEST_DEBUG> $<CONFIG:Debug> $<CONFIGURATION>)

Could an admin please change the Product Version to 2.8.11rc1? I couldn't select it from the report form's drop-down menu. Thanks!

Confirmed. I think the bug is here:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmTarget.cxx;hb=db87209b#l2941 [^]

where it reads the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> property for each config and ignores the plain-old COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property which is the one where the generator expressions are placed by the target_compile_definitions command.

Steve, please fix this and extend the CompileDefinitions test to cover some per-config definitions.

The generators call cmTarget::GetCompileDefintions both without a config and with each config. For example, the VS 10 generator does it here:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.cxx;hb=db87209b#l1223 [^]

That captures both the per-config and normal property but does not evaluate the plain-old COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property generator expressions with the proper configuration.

Steve, please refactor cmTarget::GetCompileDefintions so its callers only need to call it once with their config name. It should get the values of both COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG>, append the lists, evaluate generator expressions with the proper config name, and then return a single result. Then fix up all the call sites to call it once per config.

I've pushed fix-COMPILE_DEFINITIONS-config to stage. I haven't merged it to next yet because I have only tested the makefile generator.

I'm also not certain that the approach of creating a config-specific test is the right one. Can you confirm the use of the \${CTEST_TEST_CONFIGURATION} trick?

Thanks,

Re 0014037:0032690: Thanks. I pushed your fix as:

but re-wrote the test change as:
