The current qt_internal_extend_target interface expects that the caller
will pass the HEADER_MODULE argument on each call. This is not correct,
since the argument doesn't affect the target internals, but only help to
decide how to modify the target according to its type. The target type
meanwhile can be always read from target properties. So this solution is
more consistent.

When recording which package version to look for in
QtFooModuleDependencies.cmake and other files like it,
instead of using PROJECT_VERSION, use the version of the
package that contains the dependency.
For example if we're hypothetically building the qtdeclarative repo
from the 6.4 branch, against an installed 6.2 qtbase, then
the Qt6QmlModuleDependencies.cmake file will have a
find_package(Qt6Core 6.2) call because qtdeclarative's
find_package(Qt6Core) call found a 6.2 Core when it was configured.
This allows switching the versioning scheme of specific Qt modules
that might not want to follow the general Qt versioning scheme.
The first candidate would be QtWebEngine which might want to
follow the Chromium versioning scheme, something like
Qt 6.94.0 where 94 is the Chromium major version.
Implementation notes.
We now record the package version of a target in a property
called _qt_package_version. We do it for qt modules, plugins,
3rd party libraries, tools and the Platform target.
When we try to look up which version to write into the
QtFooModuleDependencies.cmake file (or the equivalent Plugins and
Tools file), we try to find the version
from a few sources: the property mentioned above, then the
Qt6{target}_VERSION variable, and finally PROJECT_VERSION.
In the latter case, we issue a warning because technically that should
never have to happen, and it's a bug or an unforeseen case if it does.
A few more places also need adjustments:
- package versions to look for when configuring standalone
tests and generating standalone tests Config files
- handling of tools packages
- The main Qt6 package lookup in each Dependencies.cmake files
Note that there are some requirements and consequences in case a
module wants to use a different versioning scheme like 6.94.0.
Requirements.
- The root CMakeLists.txt file needs to call find_package with a
version different from the usual PROJECT_VERSION. Ideally it
should look for a few different Qt versions which are known to be
compatible, for example the last stable and LTS versions, or just
the lowest supported Qt version, e.g. 6.2.6 or whenever this change
would land in the 6.2 branch.
- If the repository has multiple modules, some of which need to
follow the Qt versioning scheme and some not,
project(VERSION x.y.z) calls need to be carefully placed in
subdirectory scopes with appropriate version numbers, so that
qt_internal_add_module / _tool / _plugin pick up the correct
version.
Consequences.
- The .so / .dylib names will contain the new version, e.g. .so.6.94
- Linux ELF symbols will contain the new versions
- syncqt private headers will now exist under a
include/QtFoo/6.94.0/QtFoo/private folder
- pri and prl files will also contain the new version numbers
- pkg-config .pc files contain the new version numbers
- It won't be possible to write
find_package(Qt6 6.94 COMPONENTS WebEngineWidgets) in user code.
One would have to write find_package(Qt6WebEngineWidgets 6.94)
otherwise CMake will try to look for Qt6Config 6.94 which won't
exist.
- Similarly, a
find_package(Qt6 6.4 COMPONENTS Widgets WebEngineWidgets) call
would always find any kind of WebEngine package that is higher than
6.4, which might be 6.94, 6.95, etc.
- In the future, if we fix Qt6Config to pass EXACT to its
subcomponent find_package calls,
a find_package(Qt6 6.5.0 EXACT COMPONENTS Widgets WebEngineWidgets)
would fail to find WebEngineWidgets, because its 6.94.0 version
will not be equal to 6.5.0. Currently we don't pass through EXACT,
so it's not an issue.

CMake has logic to rewrite build rpaths that contain
CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX to instead point to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
This breaks running executables from the build directory, because
their build rpath will point to a location where the libraries might
not exist yet (we didn't install Qt yet).
Work around this by setting CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX to a fake path, so
that CMake does not do the rewriting anymore.
CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX needs to be set at subdirectory scope, not
function scope, which is why
qt_internal_apply_staging_prefix_build_rpath_workaround() is a macro
that is called from within each Qt internal function that creates
a target.
The workaround can be disabled by configuring with
-DQT_NO_STAGING_PREFIX_BUILD_RPATH_WORKAROUND=ON
The downside of this workaround is that it breaks per-subdirectory
install rules like 'ninja src/gui/install'.
Regular global installation like 'ninja install' works fine.
This is similar to what we do for tests in
qt_set_up_fake_standalone_tests_install_prefix()
introduced by 20292250d4
The reason it's not as good for other target types is because in
contrast to tests, we do want to install them.
In case if someone does call `ninja src/gui/install' they will most
likely get a permission error, telling them it's not possible to
install into

When CMake generates compilation rules, it extracts the values from
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and checks if any of the values
are framework paths.
If they are, instead of adding an -I ./lib/My.framework to the
compilation rules, it adds -iframework ./lib or -F ./lib.
The same transformation does not happen when AUTOMOC passes include
paths to moc, nor during a headersclean check. The values there
are passed verbatim, with an -I prepended.
This causes issues when the include file name is the same as the
framework name.
E.g. #include <QtQml> + -I ./lib/QtQml.framework because moc
then ends up silently including the shared library
./lib/QtQml.framework/QtQml
instead of the header
./lib/QtQml.framework/Headers/QtQml
This can lead to a variety of silent issues during moc generation,
because all the definitions of QtQml will be missing.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a clean way to fix this in
the build system due to CMake semantics.
See https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/23337 for details.
We can mitigate the issue by ensuring that
-I ./lib/QtQml.framework/Headers
comes before
-I ./lib/QtQml.framework
by manipulating the order of values in INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.
We might want to consider implementing an additional mitigation in
AUTOMOC, so that it filters out include paths like
-I ./lib/QtQml.framework, thus ensuring that a newer CMake version
will not exhibit the same issue when used with an older Qt.
We could consider doing the same in moc. The advantage of doing it
in moc is that that moc will consider fewer invalid include paths
when searching for headers.

The -mno-direct-extern-access tells the compiler and linker that
references to symbols outside this ELF module mustn't be direct and must
instead always go through the GOT or PLT (the PLT can additionally be
disabled with -fno-plt). The ELF protected visibility tells the compiler
and linker that this symbol is present in the dynamic symbol table as an
export, but it cannot be interposed by another ELF module.
This option is required for user code to link properly to Qt, otherwise
they will get linker errors (assuming GNU binutils >= 2.39) or runtime
failures (glibc >= 2.35). Both versions of glibc and binutils are older
than GCC 12, so it's a safe assumption they are in use and downgrading
the toolchain or libc is not supported. Adding this option to the
compilation is assured for CMake and qmake-based projects.
For example, all accessess to QCoreApplication::self in QtCore, after
this change and with GCC 12 are relocation-free and direct:
000000000013ebf0 <QCoreApplicationPrivate::checkInstance(char const*)>:
13ebf0: cmpq $0x0,0x4f73d0(%rip) # 635fc8 <QCoreApplication::self>
13ebf8: setne %al
13ebfb: je a90fe <QCoreApplicationPrivate::checkInstance(char const*) [clone .cold]>
13ec01: ret
Meanwhile, accesses to the same variable in other modules are indirect
via the GOT:
66650: mov 0x876e1(%rip),%rax # edd38 <QCoreApplication::self@Qt_6>
66657: cmpq $0x0,(%rax)
This replaces the -Bsymbolic and -Bsymbolic-functions (broken)
functionality that Qt has been using or attempting to use since ~2006.

After the update to the CMake based build system the ability to
generate pkgconfig files, like it was with QMake, was lost.
This patch adds pkgconfig generation again via a new internal command
named qt_internal_export_pkg_config_file.
The functionality of this command consists in checking if the target
is internal. Then gets the compile definitions. It performs a search
for dependencies that is somewhat similar to
qt_get_direct_module_dependencies, although it won't recurse down for
more deps. Each dependency is then again, checked if it's internal or
has a public interface. Later these deps get deduplicated and lastly
a pkgconfig file is filled.
The resulting pkgconfig files of many of the Qt6 packages were
validated via invocations of `pkg-config --validate` and
`pkg-config --simulate` commands and later used to build local
projects plus tests that use the pkg-config provided details at
compilation time.
Although it has some limitations, with qt_internal_add_qml_module if
it specifies non-public deps these won't be listed and with non-Qt
requirements, notably in static builds, not being appended to the
PkgConfig file.

For user projects we run the static link order check once
'find_package(Qt6 ...)' is called.
If linker can resolve circular dependencies between static libraries
and object files we set the _qt_link_order_matters property of the
Qt::Platform target. This indicates the use of finalizers is not
required and we may rely on CMake-base propagation of resource
libraries and resource object files.
If linker could not resolve circular dependencies depending on
the _qt_resource_objects_finalizer_mode value:
- Finalizer will be called and collected resource objects will be
linked to the target directly.
- Finalizer will be omitted and resource objects will be linked
using the target_sources function implicitly. This only
propagates resource one level up if consumer links the static
library PUBLICly, but all symbols will be resolved correctly
since object files are placed in the beginning of the linker line.
In the CMake version 3.21 we expect that CMake will take care about
the order of the resource object files in a linker line, it's
expected that all object files are located at the beginning of the
linker line.
TODO: Need to confirm that the CMake 3.21 meets the expectations.

For Apple's frameworks it's possible to include header files using the
following assumption:
If the framework name is "MyFramework" then
'#include <MyFramework/frameworkheader.h>' will work without specifying
the include path explicitly. This is broken for internal modules since
they use the framework name with the 'Private' suffix.
This uses the module name instead of the target name as a framework
name.

Internally it uses a new _qt_internal_add_library function (similar
how we have qt_add_executable and _qt_internal_add_executable) as well
as finalizer code line the executable case.
_qt_internal_add_library forwards arguments to add_library with some
Qt specific adjustments to the selected default target type (based on
whether Qt is configured as static or shared).
The new _qt_internal_add_library is now used in qt_add_plugin as well
as some internal library creating functions like
qt_internal_add_module.
This reduces some duplication of file name adjustments across
functions and creates a central point for creation of Qt-like
libraries (for some definition of Qt-like).

HEADER_MODULEs use the INTERFACE visibility to link libraries. This
causes a transitional propagating of the Qt-internal compile definitions
and options to the user targets.
This commit avoids an implicit adding of the Qt::PlatformModuleInternal
library to the HEADER_MODULEs and stops propagation of the Qt-internal
compile definitions and options. If module wants the transitional

In cmake, targets are used as an entity for modules. This causes a
number of problems when we want to manipulate a module as a separate
entity with properties associated with it.
The _qt_internal_module_interface_name target property is introduced to
represent the module entity. All modules write a name to this property,
which will subsequently expand into the module name matched with
the module name in qmake.
The 'qt_internal_module_info' function is responsible for providing the
correct values for the module properties used when working with a module
target.
Unlike qmake, for internal modules in cmake it is expected that the
Private suffix will be specified explicitly. In case the user wants to
have a different module name, an additional argument
MODULE_INTERFACE_NAME of the qt_internal_add_module function is
introduced.
This also changes the way how target dependencies are collected and
resolved. Since the 'Private' suffix no longer means an unique
identifier of the module 'Private' part, we look for the both Private
and non-Private package names when resolving dependencies.
TODO: This change doesn't affect the existing internal modules, so to
keep compatibility with the existing code the existing internal modules
create 'Private' aliases. The code that provides backward compatibility
must be removed once all internal modules will get the proper names.

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.
