qmcorecmd is an executable written by C++. It is designed to provide a set of solutions that are fixed in form and that CMake scripts cannot implement due to insufficient features or inefficiencies.
qmcorecmd uses syscmdline to parse command line arguments and have multiple subcommands.
You can refer to the help message of each command to acquire more usage information, since this document provides only a brief introduction.
Copies a file or folder. If the given folder path ends with the separator, copies the contents of the folder.
- Read timestamp to determine whether to overwrite an existing object file.
- Support ignoring specific files specified by regular expressions.
Recursively deletes all empty directories.
Since CMake copies all directories unconditionally when executing the install(DIRECTORY ...) command, even if the directory is empty. This command can be used to fix this unreasonable phenomenon.
Since Microsoft Windows does not provide a native command for handling file timestamps, this command is designed to copy or update a file's time stamp.
Only some of the functionality of Unix touch command is implemented.
Generates configuration header files.
It allows users to add macro definitions via the -D option, which are directly written into the generated header file. Additionally, users can specify a warning file with the -w option, the contents of which are added as comments at the top of the header file.
A key feature of this command is its ability to compute the SHA-256 hash of the definitions and embed it in the generated file, facilitating the tracking of configuration changes.
Reorganizes header files in include directories.
It supports defining path patterns and corresponding subdirectories through the -i option, reorganizing header files by writing relative reference statement or copying directly. The -e option can be used to exclude files matching certain patterns.
While processing header files, incsync considers the last modified time to determine whether to copy or update files.
Resolves and deploys a binary's shared library dependencies.
It analyzes dependencies of specified files and copies these dependencies to a designated output directory. Moreover, it handles details like fixing RPATH or dealing with Windows-specific library search paths.
The -s option is provided to ignore standard C/C++ runtime and system libraries, reducing unnecessary dependency copying.
All shared libraries that are deployed must have different file names.
