Because automoc just greps overs the raw plain text of the sources without any C++ preprocessor-like processing. CMake in newer versions provides the variables ``CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS`` (CMake >= 3.9.0) and ``CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES`` (CMake >= 3.10) to allow the developer to assist automoc. This macro cares for the explicit setup needed for those variables for common cases of C++ preprocessor macros used for Qt-style plugins. ``JSON_NONE`` lists the names of C++ preprocessor macros for Qt-style plugins which do not refer to external files with the plugin metadata. ``JSON_ARG1`` lists the names of C++ preprocessor macros for Qt-style plugins where the first argument to the macro is the name of the external file with the plugin metadata. ``JSON_ARG2`` is the same as ``JSON_ARG1`` but with the file name being the second argument. ``JSON_ARG3`` is the same as ``JSON_ARG1`` but with the file name being the third argument. ``CONFIG_CODE_VARIABLE`` specifies the name of the variable which will get set as value some generated CMake code for instructing automoc for the given macro names, as useful in an installed CMake config file. The variable can then be used as usual in the template file for such a CMake config file, by ``@@``. Example usage: Given some plugin-oriented Qt-based software which defines a custom C++ preprocessor macro ``EXPORT_MYPLUGIN`` for declaring the central plugin object: .. code-block:: c++ #define EXPORT_MYPLUGIN_WITH_JSON(classname, jsonFile) \ class classname : public QObject \ { \ Q_OBJECT \ Q_PLUGIN_METADATA(IID "myplugin" FILE jsonFile) \ explicit classname() {} \ }; In the CMake buildsystem of the library one calls .. code-block:: cmake ecm_setup_qtplugin_macro_names( JSON_ARG2 EXPORT_MYPLUGIN_WITH_JSON ) to instruct automoc about the usage of that macro in the sources of the library itself. Given the software installs a library including the header with the macro definition and a CMake config file, so 3rd-party can create additional plugins by linking against the library, one passes additionally the name of a variable which shall be set as value the CMake code needed to instruct automoc about the usage of that macro. .. code-block:: cmake ecm_setup_qtplugin_macro_names( JSON_ARG2 EXPORT_MYPLUGIN_WITH_JSON CONFIG_CODE_VARIABLE PACKAGE_SETUP_AUTOMOC_VARIABLES ) This variable then is used in the template file (e.g. ``MyProjectConfig.cmake.in``) for the libary's installed CMake config file and that way will ensure that in the 3rd-party plugin's buildsystem automoc is instructed as well as needed: :: @PACKAGE_SETUP_AUTOMOC_VARIABLES@ Since 5.45.0. #]=======================================================================] include(CMakePackageConfigHelpers) macro(ecm_setup_qtplugin_macro_names) set(options ) set(oneValueArgs CONFIG_CODE_VARIABLE) set(multiValueArgs JSON_NONE JSON_ARG1 JSON_ARG2 JSON_ARG3) cmake_parse_arguments(ESQMN "${options}" "${oneValueArgs}" "${multiValueArgs}" ${ARGN}) if(ESQMN_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS) message(FATAL_ERROR "Unknown keywords given to ECM_SETUP_QTPLUGIN_MACRO_NAMES(): \"${ESQMN_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS}\"") endif() # CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES list(APPEND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES ${ESQMN_JSON_NONE} ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG1} ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG2} ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG3} ) # CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS # CMake's automoc needs help to find names of plugin metadata files in case Q_PLUGIN_METADATA # is indirectly used via other C++ preprocessor macros foreach(macro_name ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG1}) list(APPEND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS "${macro_name}" "[\n^][ \t]*${macro_name}[ \t\n]*\\([ \t\n]*\"([^\"]+)\"" ) endforeach() foreach(macro_name ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG2}) list(APPEND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS "${macro_name}" "[\n^][ \t]*${macro_name}[ \t\n]*\\([^,]*,[ \t\n]*\"([^\"]+)\"" ) endforeach() foreach(macro_name ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG3}) list(APPEND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS "${macro_name}" "[\n^][ \t]*${macro_name}[ \t\n]*\\([^,]*,[^,]*,[ \t\n]*\"([^\"]+)\"" ) endforeach() if (ESQMN_CONFIG_CODE_VARIABLE) # As CMake config files of one project can be included multiple times, # the code to add entries to CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES & CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS # would then be also executed multiple times. # While there currently is no simple way known to have a unique flag to track # if the code was already executed, at least by the data currently passed to this macro, # simply check for the presence of the new entries before adding them for now. # Not using IN_LIST in generated code, as projects might have CMP0057 set to OLD set(_content "#################################################################################### # CMAKE_AUTOMOC ") set(_all_macro_names ${ESQMN_JSON_NONE} ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG1} ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG2} ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG3} ) string(APPEND _content " # CMake 3.9+ warns about automoc on files without Q_OBJECT, and doesn't know about other macros. # 3.10+ lets us provide more macro names that require automoc. foreach(macro_name ${_all_macro_names}) # we can be run multiple times, so add only once list (FIND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES \"\${macro_name}\" _index) if(_index LESS 0) list(APPEND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES \${macro_name}) endif() endforeach() ") if(ESQMN_JSON_ARG1 OR ESQMN_JSON_ARG2 OR ESQMN_JSON_ARG3) string(APPEND _content " # CMake's automoc needs help to find names of plugin metadata files in case Q_PLUGIN_METADATA # is indirectly used via other C++ preprocessor macros ") if(ESQMN_JSON_ARG1) string(APPEND _content "foreach(macro_name ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG1}) # we can be run multiple times, so add only once list (FIND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS \"\${macro_name}\" _index) if(_index LESS 0) list(APPEND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS \"\${macro_name}\" \"[\\n^][ \\t]*\${macro_name}[ \\t\\n]*\\\\([ \\t\\n]*\\\"([^\\\"]+)\\\"\" ) endif() endforeach() ") endif() if(ESQMN_JSON_ARG2) string(APPEND _content "foreach(macro_name ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG2}) # we can be run multiple times, so add only once list (FIND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS \"\${macro_name}\" _index) if(_index LESS 0) list(APPEND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS \"\${macro_name}\" \"[\\n^][ \\t]*\${macro_name}[ \\t\\n]*\\\\([^,]*,[ \\t\\n]*\\\"([^\\\"]+)\\\"\" ) endif() endforeach() ") endif() if(ESQMN_JSON_ARG3) string(APPEND _content "foreach(macro_name ${ESQMN_JSON_ARG3}) # we can be run multiple times, so add only once list (FIND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS \"\${macro_name}\" _index) if(_index LESS 0) list(APPEND CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS \"\${macro_name}\" \"[\\n^][ \\t]*\${macro_name}[ \\t\\n]*\\\\([^,]*,[^,]*,[ \\t\\n]*\\\"([^\\\"]+)\\\"\" ) endif() endforeach() ") endif() endif() string(APPEND _content " ####################################################################################" ) set(${ESQMN_CONFIG_CODE_VARIABLE} ${_content}) endif() endmacro()
