Revision 666ad1df2dc5b181a40d831c125529fe7e9bf0b4 authored by Brad King on 24 February 2017, 15:07:18 UTC, committed by Brad King on 24 February 2017, 15:15:50 UTC
This reverts commit v3.7.0-rc1~275^2 (Ninja: Use full path for all
source files, 2016-08-05).  Unfortunately using absolute paths can
cause incorrect rebuilds due to ninja limitations.  The ninja
manual [1] explains:

> ... using absolute paths, your depfile may result in a mixture of
> relative and absolute paths. Paths used by other build rules need
> to match exactly.

Passing an absolute path to a source file to the compiler while using a
relative path in the ninja build manifest can cause such mixture and
lead to incorrect rebuilds.  Simply revert the change for now.

Note that there was a follow-up to the original change in commit
v3.7.0-rc2~10^2 (Ninja: Fix RC language depfile generation with
cmcldeps, 2016-10-13).  We don't need to revert that because that
change made the relevant code cleverly adapt to whatever variable
we use to reference the source file.

COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
-------------------

Preprocessor definitions for compiling a source file.

The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property may be set to a semicolon-separated
list of preprocessor definitions using the syntax VAR or VAR=value.
Function-style definitions are not supported.  CMake will
automatically escape the value correctly for the native build system
(note that CMake language syntax may require escapes to specify some
values).  This property may be set on a per-configuration basis using
the name COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> where <CONFIG> is an upper-case
name (ex.  "COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG").

CMake will automatically drop some definitions that are not supported
by the native build tool.  Xcode does not support per-configuration
definitions on source files.
