Previously, transitively inherited calls to `target_include_directories(foo SYSTEM ...)` were being squashed into a flat list of includes, effectively stripping off `-isystem` and unintentionally forwarding warnings from such dependencies. To correctly propagate `SYSTEM` dependencies, use `target_link_libraries` to forward the parent target's link dependencies to the OBJECT library (similar to the `_static` flow below). Unlike a flat `target_include_directories`, this lets CMake resolve transitive SYSTEM include directories through the proper dependency chain. Note that `target_link_libraries` on an OBJECT library propagates all usage requirements, not just includes. This also brings in transitive `INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS`, `INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS`, and `INTERFACE_COMPILE_FEATURES`. This is arguably more correct, as the OBJECT library compiles the same sources and should see the same flags. The existing `target_include_directories` call is retained for include directories set directly on the target (not through link dependencies). CMake deduplicates include directories that appear through both paths. Compile definitions and options may technically appear twice (once via the OBJECT library, once via the consuming target), but duplicate `-D` and flag entries are harmless in practice. Also fix `clang_target_link_libraries` and `mlir_target_link_libraries` to forward the link type (PUBLIC/PRIVATE/INTERFACE) to `obj.*` targets. Previously the type keyword was silently dropped, resulting in plain- signature `target_link_libraries` calls. This is now required because the new keyword-signature call in `llvm_add_library` would otherwise conflict (CMake requires all calls on a target to use the same signature).
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure ================================ This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and runtime environments. LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt. Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's documentation setup. If you are writing a package for LLVM, see docs/Packaging.rst for our suggestions.
