Re: [CMake] Save stripped debugging information

A very useful feature of the program objcopy is, to not strip debugging information from a file but to split it from it so that you can release a program without debugging information but can later debug it if you put the split debugging files in certain directories (more at http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html). Is there a CMake way to do this? Sadly not. This is also annoying for e.g. MSVC builds where the debug infos are stored in an extra file (.pdb) anyway, but you have no good way to know the current location of the pdb file to install it. I would like to see this as a fourth option to INSTALL(TARGETS): INSTALL(TARGETS myexe mylib DEBUG_SYMBOLS /foo) This could just copy the pdb file on MSVC builds and do the objcopy magic in Un*x builds. moreover, the visual can produce two .pdb files: - first, in build directory with full debug info. - second, with stripped private symbols (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y87kw2fd.aspx) this stripped pdb is useful for release with product for automated crash stacktracing with dbghelp.dll. ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
Re: [CMake] How can I know the target is 32-bit, or 64bit

Thanks, Dongsheng Look at the CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P variable. However, normally this is better handled in the code through #ifdef's, because on some platforms (e.g. Mac) it is possible to compile for multiple architecture at once with a single compiler invocation. there's also a new x86 target with 64-bit intruction set and 32-bit pointer called X32 - https://sites.google.com/site/x32abi/ ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
