Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [tkreuzer] 50243: [CMAKE] Add generation of a depencency graph for shared libraries. The output is a graphml file. Can be enabled with GENERATE_DEPENDENCY_GRAPH switch.

[Ged Murphy]

I didn't know about this feature.
Will this help the effort towards a minwin effort in fixing the
dependency hierarchy (mess)?

Its not a cmake feature. Its a custom script. you could probably have 
cmake boil coffee with the right script ;-)
Currently the graph is a big mess, its simply too many dlls involved to 
see anything from it.
But it provides good raw data to create any kind of graphs from it.
I have been using yEd, sadly it doesn't handle the node ids (the dll 
names) properly, so all nodes simply get a number and the name gets 
lost. Dunno why that is. It can be worked around by adding an yEd 
specific label tag.

CMAKE does have a built-in feature to generate GraphViz (dot) dependency graphs of a
project. I am unsure why Timo wrote his own script to do so, but CMAKE can definitely do
it.
