Summary0015636: alias libraries and and --graphviz
Descriptionwhen alias libraries are used, the dot files treat original and aliased library as different targets. therefore the dependencies are not visualised.

this issue is somehow related to 0013809, which is about add_dependency.
Steps To Reproduceadd_library(foo)
add_library(bar ALIAS foo)
add_executable(baz)
target_link_libraries(baz bar)

expected behaviour: baz should visualise a dependency to foo. instead foo it shows a dependency to bar.

I would love to see this issue fixed, I believe using namespaces (ALIAS) is a good practice (especially on big projects/libraries), but if we have to remove the aliases to get a dependency graph it's pretty annoying.

A quick fix would be to use the same node number for both the original and the alias.
