    Autogen: Use JSON instead of CMake script for info files · d867e058
    Sebastian Holtermann authored and Brad King's avatar Brad King committed
    We used to store information for the _autogen target in a CMake script
    file AutogenInfo.cmake, which was imported by a temporary cmake instance in
    the _autogen target.  This introduced the overhead of creating a temporary
    cmake instance and inherited the limitations of the CMake language which
    only supports lists.
    
    This patch introduces JSON files to pass information to AUTORCC and
    autogen_ targets.  JSON files are more flexible for passing data, e.g. they
    support nested lists.
    
    The patch has the side effects that
    
    - AutogenInfo.cmake is renamed to AutogenInfo.json
    - AutogenOldSettings.txt is renamed to AutogenUsed.txt
    - RCC<qrcBaseName><checksum>Info.cmake is renamed to
      AutoRcc_<qrcBaseName>_<checksum>_Info.json
    - RCC<qrcBaseName><checksum>.lock is renamed to
      AutoRcc_<qrcBaseName>_<checksum>_Lock.lock
    - RCC<qrcBaseName><checksum>Settings.txt is renamed to
      AutoRcc_<qrcBaseName>_<checksum>_Used.txt
