ECMSetupQtPluginMacroNames
--------------------------

Instruct CMake's automoc about C++ preprocessor macros used to define Qt-style plugins.

::

  ecm_setup_qtplugin_macro_names(
      [JSON_NONE <macro_name> [<macro_name> [...]]]
      [JSON_ARG1 <macro_name> [<macro_name> [...]]]
      [JSON_ARG2 <macro_name> [<macro_name> [...]]]
      [JSON_ARG3 <macro_name> [<macro_name> [...]]]
      [CONFIG_CODE_VARIABLE <variable_name>] )

CMake's automoc needs some support when parsing C++ source files to detect whether moc
should be run on those files and if there are also dependencies on other files, like those
with Qt plugin metadata in JSON format. Because automoc just greps overs the raw plain text
of the sources without any C++ preprocessor-like processing.
CMake in newer versions provides the variables ``CMAKE_AUTOMOC_DEPEND_FILTERS`` (CMake >= 3.9.0)
and ``CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES`` (CMake >= 3.10) to allow the developer to assist automoc.

This macro cares for the explicit setup needed for those variables for common cases of
C++ preprocessor macros used for Qt-style plugins.

``JSON_NONE`` lists the names of C++ preprocessor macros for Qt-style plugins which do not refer to
external files with the plugin metadata.

``JSON_ARG1`` lists the names of C++ preprocessor macros for Qt-style plugins where the first argument
to the macro is the name of the external file with the plugin metadata.

``JSON_ARG2`` is the same as ``JSON_ARG1`` but with the file name being the second argument.

``JSON_ARG3`` is the same as ``JSON_ARG1`` but with the file name being the third argument.

``CONFIG_CODE_VARIABLE`` specifies the name of the variable which will get set as
value some generated CMake code for instructing automoc for the given macro names,
as useful in an installed CMake config file. The variable can then be used as usual in
the template file for such a CMake config file, by ``@<variable_name>@``.


Example usage:

Given some plugin-oriented Qt-based software which defines a custom C++ preprocessor
macro ``EXPORT_MYPLUGIN`` for declaring the central plugin object:

.. code-block:: c++

  #define EXPORT_MYPLUGIN_WITH_JSON(classname, jsonFile) \
  class classname : public QObject \
  { \
      Q_OBJECT \
      Q_PLUGIN_METADATA(IID "myplugin" FILE jsonFile) \
      explicit classname() {} \
  };

In the CMake buildsystem of the library one calls

.. code-block:: cmake

  ecm_setup_qtplugin_macro_names(
      JSON_ARG2
         EXPORT_MYPLUGIN_WITH_JSON
  )

to instruct automoc about the usage of that macro in the sources of the
library itself.

Given the software installs a library including the header with the macro
definition and a CMake config file, so 3rd-party can create additional
plugins by linking against the library, one passes additionally the name of
a variable which shall be set as value the CMake code needed to instruct
automoc about the usage of that macro.

.. code-block:: cmake

  ecm_setup_qtplugin_macro_names(
      JSON_ARG2
         EXPORT_MYPLUGIN_WITH_JSON
      CONFIG_CODE_VARIABLE
         PACKAGE_SETUP_AUTOMOC_VARIABLES
  )

This variable then is used in the template file (e.g.
``MyProjectConfig.cmake.in``) for the libary's installed CMake config file
and that way will ensure that in the 3rd-party plugin's buildsystem
automoc is instructed as well as needed:
