Step 9: Selecting Static or Shared Libraries
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
In this section we will show how the :variable:`BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` variable can
|
|
be used to control the default behavior of :command:`add_library`,
|
|
and allow control over how libraries without an explicit type (``STATIC``,
|
|
``SHARED``, ``MODULE`` or ``OBJECT``) are built.
|
|
|
|
To accomplish this we need to add :variable:`BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` to the
|
|
top-level ``CMakeLists.txt``. We use the :command:`option` command as it allows
|
|
users to optionally select if the value should be ``ON`` or ``OFF``.
|
|
|
|
Next we are going to refactor ``MathFunctions`` to become a real library that
|
|
encapsulates using ``mysqrt`` or ``sqrt``, instead of requiring the calling
|
|
code to do this logic. This will also mean that ``USE_MYMATH`` will not control
|
|
building ``MathFunctions``, but instead will control the behavior of this
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
The first step is to update the starting section of the top-level
|
|
``CMakeLists.txt`` to look like:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: Step10/CMakeLists.txt
|
|
:caption: CMakeLists.txt
|
|
:name: CMakeLists.txt-option-BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
|
|
:language: cmake
|
|
:end-before: # add the binary tree
|
|
|
|
Now that we have made ``MathFunctions`` always be used, we will need to update
|
|
the logic of that library. So, in ``MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt`` we need to
|
|
create a SqrtLibrary that will conditionally be built and installed when
|
|
``USE_MYMATH`` is enabled. Now, since this is a tutorial, we are going to
|
|
explicitly require that SqrtLibrary is built statically.
|
|
|
|
The end result is that ``MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt`` should look like:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: Step10/MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt
|
|
:caption: MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt
|
|
:name: MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt-add_library-STATIC
|
|
:language: cmake
|
|
:lines: 1-36,42-
|
|
|
|
Next, update ``MathFunctions/mysqrt.cxx`` to use the ``mathfunctions`` and
|
|
``detail`` namespaces:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: Step10/MathFunctions/mysqrt.cxx
|
|
:caption: MathFunctions/mysqrt.cxx
|
|
:name: MathFunctions/mysqrt.cxx-namespace
|
|
:language: c++
|
|
|
|
We also need to make some changes in ``tutorial.cxx``, so that it no longer
|
|
uses ``USE_MYMATH``:
|
|
|
|
#. Always include ``MathFunctions.h``
|
|
#. Always use ``mathfunctions::sqrt``
|
|
#. Don't include ``cmath``
|
|
|
|
Finally, update ``MathFunctions/MathFunctions.h`` to use dll export defines:
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: Step10/MathFunctions/MathFunctions.h
|
|
:caption: MathFunctions/MathFunctions.h
|
|
:name: MathFunctions/MathFunctions.h
|
|
:language: c++
|
|
|
|
At this point, if you build everything, you may notice that linking fails
|
|
as we are combining a static library without position independent code with a
|
|
library that has position independent code. The solution to this is to
|
|
explicitly set the :prop_tgt:`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE` target property of
|
|
SqrtLibrary to be ``True`` no matter the build type.
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: Step10/MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt
|
|
:caption: MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt
|
|
:name: MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt-POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
|
|
:language: cmake
|
|
:lines: 37-42
|
|
|
|
**Exercise**: We modified ``MathFunctions.h`` to use dll export defines.
|
|
Using CMake documentation can you find a helper module to simplify this?
