After running a build command, make by default stat()s the command's output, and if it wasn't touched, then it cancels all build steps that were scheduled only because this command was expected to change the output. Ninja has the same feature, but it's opt-in behind the per-command "restat = 1" setting. However, CMake enables it by default for all custom commands. Use Meta/write-only-on-difference.sh to write the output to a temporary file, and then copy the temporary file only to the final location if the contents of the output have changed since last time. write-only-on-difference.sh automatically creates the output's parent directory, so stop doing that in CMake. Reduces the number of build steps that run after touching a file in LibCore from 522 to 312. Since we now no longer trigger the CMake special case "If COMMAND specifies an executable target name (created by the add_executable() command), it will automatically be replaced by the location of the executable created at build time", we now need to use qualified paths to the generators. Somewhat related to #2877. |

SerenityOS
Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.
About
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.
I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.
Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.
I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
