cmake add_custom_command发出多个输出文件

我在使用add_custom_command多个输出文件时注意到cmake中可能存在的错误行为.我已经能够将问题隔离到一个最小的例子(见下文).似乎当我在my中指定了两个输出文件时add_custom_command,在某些情况下,第二个输出文件的上游依赖项没有被正确跟踪.该cmake的文件明确指出了多个输出文件是允许的.这里有趣的是,交换输出文件的顺序会导致不同的行为,这表明第一个OUTPUT文件的处理方式不同.

请参阅以下展示此行为的玩具示例.第一次调用make运行得很好.触摸后a.txt,Copying baz.cpp to baz2.cpp规则不会在第一次调用时执行make,而是在第二次调用时运行make.这意味着一次调用后构建仍然是陈旧的make.注意在改变输出的顺序,这个问题被固定add_custom_command到OUTPUT baz.cpp bar.cpp

Example CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

add_library(mybaz baz.cpp)

add_custom_command(
  OUTPUT  baz2.cpp
  COMMAND cp baz.cpp baz2.cpp
  DEPENDS baz.cpp
  COMMENT "Copying baz.cpp to baz2.cpp")

add_custom_target(mytarget
  DEPENDS baz2.cpp
  COMMENT "Running mytarget")

add_dependencies(mybaz mytarget)

add_custom_command(
  OUTPUT  bar.cpp baz.cpp
  COMMAND cat a.txt > bar.cpp
  COMMAND cat a.txt > baz.cpp
  DEPENDS a.txt
  COMMENT "Generating bar.cpp and baz.cpp")

以下是我运行的命令:

> touch a.txt
> cmake .
    ...snip... (configuration runs fine)
> make

  (everything looks good)

  (I seem to be missing the 'Copying baz.cpp to baz2.cpp' line)

> make

  ( The 'Copying baz.cpp to baz2.cpp' executes this time )

这已经在linux机器上使用CMake版本2.8.12.2进行了测试.

在此先感谢您的帮助!
