Description
This would provide cleaner CMake API inside the Qt CMake files.
For example for qml, without this feature, you could have a hypothetical API as follows.
add_qml_module(Foo)
qml_target_sources(Foo a.qml)
if(APPLE)
qml_target_sources(Foo b.qml)
endif()
more qml_target_source calls .....
qml_run_quick_compiler(Foo)
qml_run_quick_compiler needs to be called manually by a user after all qml_target_sources have been called.
With proposed feature, we could have a cleaner API where the user does not have to specify the qml_run_quick_compiler call, it would be called automatically by CMake.
add_qml_module(Foo)
qml_target_sources(Foo a.qml)
if(APPLE)
qml_target_sources(Foo b.qml)
endif()
more qml_target_source calls .....
and inside add_qml_module you would have something like:
function(qml_run_quick_compiler target)
...
set_property(TARGET ${target} PROPERTY CALL_ON_TARGET_FINALIZE "qml_run_quick_compiler")
...
endfunction()
Thus the user can't accidentally forget to call qml_run_quick_compiler(), CMake would do it for them.
