# GenerateExportHeader
# --------------------
#
# Function for generation of export macros for libraries
#
# This module provides the function GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER().
#
# The ``GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER`` function can be used to generate a file
# suitable for preprocessor inclusion which contains EXPORT macros to be
# used in library classes::
#
#    GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER( LIBRARY_TARGET
#              [BASE_NAME <base_name>]
#              [EXPORT_MACRO_NAME <export_macro_name>]
#              [EXPORT_FILE_NAME <export_file_name>]
#              [DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME <deprecated_macro_name>]
#              [NO_EXPORT_MACRO_NAME <no_export_macro_name>]
#              [STATIC_DEFINE <static_define>]
#              [NO_DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME <no_deprecated_macro_name>]
#              [DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED]
#              [PREFIX_NAME <prefix_name>]
#    )
#
#
# The target properties :prop_tgt:`CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET <<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET>`
# and :prop_tgt:`VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN` can be used to add the appropriate
# compile flags for targets.  See the documentation of those target properties,
# and the convenience variables
# :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET <CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET>` and
# :variable:`CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN`.
#
# By default ``GENERATE_EXPORT_HEADER()`` generates macro names in a file
# name determined by the name of the library.  This means that in the
# simplest case, users of ``GenerateExportHeader`` will be equivalent to:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    set(CMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET hidden)
#    set(CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN 1)
#    add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
#    generate_export_header(somelib)
#    install(TARGETS somelib DESTINATION ${LIBRARY_INSTALL_DIR})
#    install(FILES
#     someclass.h
#     ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/somelib_export.h DESTINATION ${INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR}
#    )
#
#
# And in the ABI header files:
#
# .. code-block:: c++
#
#    #include "somelib_export.h"
#    class SOMELIB_EXPORT SomeClass {
#      ...
#    };
#
#
# The CMake fragment will generate a file in the
# ``${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}`` called ``somelib_export.h`` containing the
# macros ``SOMELIB_EXPORT``, ``SOMELIB_NO_EXPORT``, ``SOMELIB_DEPRECATED``,
# ``SOMELIB_DEPRECATED_EXPORT`` and ``SOMELIB_DEPRECATED_NO_EXPORT``.  The
# resulting file should be installed with other headers in the library.
#
# The ``BASE_NAME`` argument can be used to override the file name and the
# names used for the macros:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
#    generate_export_header(somelib
#      BASE_NAME other_name
#    )
#
#
# Generates a file called ``other_name_export.h`` containing the macros
# ``OTHER_NAME_EXPORT``, ``OTHER_NAME_NO_EXPORT`` and ``OTHER_NAME_DEPRECATED``
# etc.
#
# The ``BASE_NAME`` may be overridden by specifiying other options in the
# function.  For example:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
#    generate_export_header(somelib
#      EXPORT_MACRO_NAME OTHER_NAME_EXPORT
#    )
#
#
# creates the macro ``OTHER_NAME_EXPORT`` instead of ``SOMELIB_EXPORT``, but
# other macros and the generated file name is as default:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    add_library(somelib someclass.cpp)
#    generate_export_header(somelib
#      DEPRECATED_MACRO_NAME KDE_DEPRECATED
#    )
#
#
# creates the macro ``KDE_DEPRECATED`` instead of ``SOMELIB_DEPRECATED``.
#
# If ``LIBRARY_TARGET`` is a static library, macros are defined without
# values.
#
# If the same sources are used to create both a shared and a static
# library, the uppercased symbol ``${BASE_NAME}_STATIC_DEFINE`` should be
# used when building the static library:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    add_library(shared_variant SHARED ${lib_SRCS})
#    add_library(static_variant ${lib_SRCS})
#    generate_export_header(shared_variant BASE_NAME libshared_and_static)
#    set_target_properties(static_variant PROPERTIES
#      COMPILE_FLAGS -DLIBSHARED_AND_STATIC_STATIC_DEFINE)
#
# This will cause the export macros to expand to nothing when building
# the static library.
#
# If ``DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED`` is specified, then a macro
# ``${BASE_NAME}_NO_DEPRECATED`` will be defined This macro can be used to
# remove deprecated code from preprocessor output:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    option(EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED "Exclude deprecated parts of the library" FALSE)
#    if (EXCLUDE_DEPRECATED)
#      set(NO_BUILD_DEPRECATED DEFINE_NO_DEPRECATED)
#    endif()
#    generate_export_header(somelib ${NO_BUILD_DEPRECATED})
#
#
# And then in somelib:
#
# .. code-block:: c++
#
#    class SOMELIB_EXPORT SomeClass
#    {
#    public:
#    #ifndef SOMELIB_NO_DEPRECATED
#      SOMELIB_DEPRECATED void oldMethod();
#    #endif
#    };
#
# .. code-block:: c++
#
#    #ifndef SOMELIB_NO_DEPRECATED
#    void SomeClass::oldMethod() {  }
#    #endif
#
#
# If ``PREFIX_NAME`` is specified, the argument will be used as a prefix to
# all generated macros.
#
# For example:
#
# .. code-block:: cmake
#
#    generate_export_header(somelib PREFIX_NAME VTK_)
#
# Generates the macros ``VTK_SOMELIB_EXPORT`` etc.
#
# ::
#
#    ADD_COMPILER_EXPORT_FLAGS( [<output_variable>] )
#
# The ``ADD_COMPILER_EXPORT_FLAGS`` function adds ``-fvisibility=hidden`` to
# :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS <CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS>` if supported, and is a no-op
# on Windows which does not need extra compiler flags for exporting support.
# You may optionally pass a single argument to ``ADD_COMPILER_EXPORT_FLAGS``
# that will be populated with the ``CXX_FLAGS`` required to enable visibility
# support for the compiler/architecture in use.
#
# This function is deprecated.  Set the target properties
# :prop_tgt:`CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET <<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET>` and
# :prop_tgt:`VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN` instead.
