CMake: Build plugin initializers as object libs Instead of compiling the plugin initializers as part of a user project, pre-compile them as object libraries while building Qt. The installed object libraries can then be used with target_sources(qt_module INTERFACE $<TARGET_OBJECTS:plugin_init>) so that they are linked into the final executable or shared library via qt module usage requirement propagation. This reduces the build times of user projects. The link line placement of the object files should be correct for all linux-y linkers because the only dependency for the object files is Core and the Gui -> plugin -> Gui -> Core cycle does not hamper that from empirical observations. As a consequence of the recent change not to link plugin initialization object files into static libraries, as well not having to compile the files in user projects, we can get rid of the _qt_internal_disable_static_default_plugins calls in various places. A side note. Consider a user static library (L) that links to a Qt static library (Gui) which provides plugins (platform plugins). If there is an executable (E) that links to (L), with no direct dependency to any other Qt module and the intention is that the executable will automatically get the platform plugin linked, then (L) needs to link PUBLIC-ly to (Gui) so that the plugin usage requirements are propagated successfully. This is a limitation of using target_sources(qt_module INTERFACE $<TARGET_OBJECTS:plugin_init>) which will propagate object files across static libraries only if qt_module is linked publicly. One could try to use target_link_libraries(qt_module INTERFACE $<TARGET_OBJECTS:plugin_init>) which preserves the linker arguments across static libs even if qt_module is linked privately, but unfortunately CMake will lose dependency information on Core, which means the object files might be placed in the wrong place on the link line. As far as I know this is a limitation of CMake that can't be worked around at the moment. Note this behavior was present before this change as well.

CMake: Introduce finalizer mode handling of static plugins Allow linking all plugin initializer object libraries directly into the final target (executable or shared library). The finalizer mode is triggered when the project adds a call to qt_import_plugins, as well when the project has an explicit call to qt_finalize_executable or when it is defer called by CMake 3.19+. Otherwise the old non-finalizer mode is used, where each plugin initializer object library is propagated via the usage requirements of its associated module. A user can explicitly opt in or out of the new mode by calling qt_enable_import_plugins_finalizer_mode(target TRUE/FALSE) The implementation, at configure time, recursively collects all dependencies of the target to extract a list of used Qt modules. From each module we extract its list of associated plugins and their genex conditions. These genexes are used to conditionally link the plugins and the initializers. Renamed QT_PLUGINS property to _qt_plugins, so we can safely query the property even on INTERFACE libraries with lower CMake versions. QT_PLUGINS is kept for backwards compatibility with projects already using it, but should be removed in Qt 7. The upside of the finalizer mode is that it avoids creating link cycles (e.g. Gui -> SvgPlugin -> Gui case) which causes CMake to duplicate the library on the link line, slowing down link time as well as possibly breaking link order dependencies. The downside is that finalizer mode can't cope with generator expressions at the moment. So if a Qt module target is wrapped in a generator expression, it's plugins will not be detected and thus linked.

CMake: Remove qt6_enable_object_libraries_finalizer_mode qt6_enable_object_libraries_finalizer_mode is not needed anymore now that static Qt builds require CMake 3.21 and thus CMake takes care of placing object library object files at the beginning of the link line. Rename qt6_enable_import_plugins_finalizer_mode to a more generic qt6_set_finalizer_mode that can enable or disable multiple different modes. For now the only available mode is "static_plugins" which handles the behavior of the old function name. The mode can be enabled by calling qt6_set_finalizer_mode(${target} ENABLE MODES "static_plugins") Note that the function is re-tagged as being in Technical Preview. Ideally we would not need it at all. But we need to provide some workaround for the limitations of linking Qt static plugins in CMake on Linux-y platforms that use bfd ld or ld.gold. The workaround does not work well with dependencies wrapped in generator expressions which is why we can't confidently advertise it as a proper solution. Our hope is that this can be fixed in future upstream CMake versions and the function can be removed. See 6fcc272ac9dcf1d6d65de1bdf3138722ba63a902 for details. Adjust the tests due to the renamed and removed functions.

CMake: Use __qt_internal_propagate_object_library for static plugins Address TODO and use the new helper __qt_internal_propagate_object_library function instead of target_sources when linking static plugin initializers via usage requirements. Note that to work correctly this depends on using the target_link_options object library linking approach, which means a minimum CMake version of 3.17, which is already the case for static Qt usage. With CMake 3.21, it will use target_link_libraries approach instead. With CMake version 3.16 or lower, currently, this won't work correctly on Linux if there are dependencies wrapped in genexes because the __qt_internal_propagate_object_library call will try to use the still-by-default-enabled 'object_libraries' finalizer mode via __qt_internal_collect_dependency_object_libraries and that stops the usage of the target_sources approach to link the object files directly. This isn't a big deal though, because we already require CMake 3.20 as the minimum. It might be a bigger deal if we will need any of this functionality to work with 3.16 in shared Qt builds where the user project tries to create and link against custom static plugins.

CMake: Introduce finalizer mode handling of static plugins Allow linking all plugin initializer object libraries directly into the final target (executable or shared library). The finalizer mode is triggered when the project adds a call to qt_import_plugins, as well when the project has an explicit call to qt_finalize_executable or when it is defer called by CMake 3.19+. Otherwise the old non-finalizer mode is used, where each plugin initializer object library is propagated via the usage requirements of its associated module. A user can explicitly opt in or out of the new mode by calling qt_enable_import_plugins_finalizer_mode(target TRUE/FALSE) The implementation, at configure time, recursively collects all dependencies of the target to extract a list of used Qt modules. From each module we extract its list of associated plugins and their genex conditions. These genexes are used to conditionally link the plugins and the initializers. Renamed QT_PLUGINS property to _qt_plugins, so we can safely query the property even on INTERFACE libraries with lower CMake versions. QT_PLUGINS is kept for backwards compatibility with projects already using it, but should be removed in Qt 7. The upside of the finalizer mode is that it avoids creating link cycles (e.g. Gui -> SvgPlugin -> Gui case) which causes CMake to duplicate the library on the link line, slowing down link time as well as possibly breaking link order dependencies. The downside is that finalizer mode can't cope with generator expressions at the moment. So if a Qt module target is wrapped in a generator expression, it's plugins will not be detected and thus linked.

CMake: Remove qt6_enable_object_libraries_finalizer_mode qt6_enable_object_libraries_finalizer_mode is not needed anymore now that static Qt builds require CMake 3.21 and thus CMake takes care of placing object library object files at the beginning of the link line. Rename qt6_enable_import_plugins_finalizer_mode to a more generic qt6_set_finalizer_mode that can enable or disable multiple different modes. For now the only available mode is "static_plugins" which handles the behavior of the old function name. The mode can be enabled by calling qt6_set_finalizer_mode(${target} ENABLE MODES "static_plugins") Note that the function is re-tagged as being in Technical Preview. Ideally we would not need it at all. But we need to provide some workaround for the limitations of linking Qt static plugins in CMake on Linux-y platforms that use bfd ld or ld.gold. The workaround does not work well with dependencies wrapped in generator expressions which is why we can't confidently advertise it as a proper solution. Our hope is that this can be fixed in future upstream CMake versions and the function can be removed. See 6fcc272ac9dcf1d6d65de1bdf3138722ba63a902 for details. Adjust the tests due to the renamed and removed functions.

CMake: Introduce finalizer mode handling of static plugins Allow linking all plugin initializer object libraries directly into the final target (executable or shared library). The finalizer mode is triggered when the project adds a call to qt_import_plugins, as well when the project has an explicit call to qt_finalize_executable or when it is defer called by CMake 3.19+. Otherwise the old non-finalizer mode is used, where each plugin initializer object library is propagated via the usage requirements of its associated module. A user can explicitly opt in or out of the new mode by calling qt_enable_import_plugins_finalizer_mode(target TRUE/FALSE) The implementation, at configure time, recursively collects all dependencies of the target to extract a list of used Qt modules. From each module we extract its list of associated plugins and their genex conditions. These genexes are used to conditionally link the plugins and the initializers. Renamed QT_PLUGINS property to _qt_plugins, so we can safely query the property even on INTERFACE libraries with lower CMake versions. QT_PLUGINS is kept for backwards compatibility with projects already using it, but should be removed in Qt 7. The upside of the finalizer mode is that it avoids creating link cycles (e.g. Gui -> SvgPlugin -> Gui case) which causes CMake to duplicate the library on the link line, slowing down link time as well as possibly breaking link order dependencies. The downside is that finalizer mode can't cope with generator expressions at the moment. So if a Qt module target is wrapped in a generator expression, it's plugins will not be detected and thus linked.
