The syncqt tool was originally designed to run at build time, as a
part of dependency chain of Qt modules. This works well unless we need
the code model of the Qt project in IDE, since Qt source code actively
uses header aliases, and creating them at build time breaks the code
model until the initial build is done. So we made syncqt the configure
time tool to not break the developer experience.
It's more likely that developers build Qt using command line or don't
need the code model before the first build. So running the tool at
configure time should be optional.
QT_SYNC_HEADERS_AT_CONFIGURE_TIME switches the "mode" of the syncqt
tool from build time tool to the configure time tool. Without the
option enabled build procedure runs all the syncing targets at build
time only. The exception are the developer builds, if the
'-developer-build' option is enabled, QT_SYNC_HEADERS_AT_CONFIGURE_TIME
is set to TRUE by default. This gives better development experience for
the developers that don't use the code model in their IDE or don't
require it before the first build is finished. Also this build time
mode is preferred for the CI or similar build procedures where code
model is not required at all.
By default, the option initialized from the
QT_INTERNAL_CONFIGURE_FROM_IDE CMake variable.
TODO: The option is forced to TRUE for the static Ninja Multi-Config
builds. See QTBUG-113974 for details.
[ChangeLog][Build System] When building Qt from sources, syncqt and Qt
header files are now created at build time, not configure time. This
should speed up the configuration step. You can set the CMake variable
QT_CONFIGURE_TIME_SYNC_HEADERS to ON to use the previous behavior,
though. The old behavior is also preserved if cmake/configure is run
from inside an IDE - Qt Creator, Visual Studio Code, and CLion are
currently detected.

Use the internal target property to store the module_sync_header target
name. The property then is used to collect module_sync_header targets
and build the dependency tree between them. This mechanism only works
for Qt dependencies that are added using qt_internal_extend_target call
that works well at least for out CI builds. The mechanism allows to
omit the race in sync_header runs that might lead to unexpected results
since internal targets like automoc or headersclean_check only depend
directly on module_sync_header target that belong to the module.

qrhi.h, qshader.h, qshaderdescription.h (and qshaderbaker.h from
shadertools; done separately) become "RHI APIs", following the concept
of QPA APIs.
Mirror completely what is done for QPA headers, but using the "rhi"
prefix for the headers. This involves updating syncqt to handle the
new category of headers. (a note on the regex: matching everything
starting with "qrhi" is not acceptable due to incorrectly matching
existing and future headers, hence specifying the four header names
explicitly)
There is going to be one difference to QPA: the documentation for
everything RHI is going to be public and part of the regular docs, not
hidden with \internal.
In addition to the header renaming and adding the comments and
documentation notes and warnings, there is one significant change
here: there is no longer a need to do API-specific includes, such as
qrhid3d11[_p].h, qrhivulkan[_p].h, etc. These are simply merged into a
single header that is then included from qrhi.h. This means that users
within Qt, and any future applications can just do #include
<rhi/qrhi.h> (or rhi/qshader.h if the QRhi stuff is not relevant), no
other headers are needed.
There are no changes to functionality in this patch. Only the
documentation is expanded, quite a lot, to eliminate all qdoc warnings
and make the generated API docs complete. An example, with a quite
extensive doc page is added as well.

syncqt.pl adds an extra dependency on perl when building Qt. Modern C++
provides the convenient cross-platform way to access a filesystem and
to use regular expressions, so we may replace the perl script with C++
application. The syncqt executable is built at configure time and
installed as QtCore tool. It's running at configure time to deliver the
required header files for IDE to build a consistent code model and at
the build time to keep tracking changes in header files and generate
the missing aliases without reconfiguring. 'syncqt' only parses header
files from a CMake build tree, so the resulting Qt installation only
contains interfacing headers that belong to the platform that Qt is
built for. 'sync.profile' files are not used as the 'source of truth'
for sync qt procedure anymore, all the necessary information is taken
from either CMake files at configure time or from the module header
files while parsing them.
syncqt.pl is still in place since it's required as fallback solution
for a smooth transition to the new syncqt implementation for all qt
repositories.
This patchset only enables the C++ based syncqt for 'qtbase'
repository.
From the performance perspective C++ version works faster then perl
script, also the configure time is reduced significally on subsequent
reconfigurations - up x2 times faster when re-configuring repository,
but it also takes time to compile the tool itself the first time.
Numbers for qtbase:
syncqt.pl syncqt.cpp
initial: 0m16,035s 0m20,413s
reconfig: 0m6,819s 0m3,725s
The syncing procedure can be run separately for each module using
<ModuleName>_sync_headers targets. The 'sync_headers' target can be
used to sync all the modules at once.

these header files still will be installed regardless platform or
feature limitations. This will not be the case once we switch to

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.
