Typically build rules depend on the configuration (Debug, Release). For Makefile generators there is only one configuration, but for Xcode and VS IDE generators several configurations are written to the build system for selection at build time. Also, since the functionality we're discussion will work only for Makefile generators I don't think it makes sense to add an API in the CMake language for this. It is also better if the analysis tools can work on projects whose CMake code was not specifically written to support them. > one reason I propose a JSON format is that it is both easy to > parse and easy to extend. Okay. > It is actually a matter of writing one extra file globally That makes sense. One more concern is that the size of this file will grow linearly with the size of the rest of the build system. Writing it could add noticeable overhead during normal generation. It is simple enough to enable with a cache option added on the command line though. -Brad _______________________________________________ cmake-developers mailing list cmake-developers@cmake.org http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
