The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=15012 ====================================================================== Reported By: Philipp Möller Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15012 Category: Documentation Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2014-07-10 07:09 EDT Last Modified: 2014-07-10 07:09 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: Generator expressions provide PLATFORM_ID but its values are not documented Description: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-generator-expressions.7.html documents PLATFORM_ID, but does not mention the possible values the variable could have.
I suppose the corresponding variable is CMAKE_<LANG>_PLATFORM_ID http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/variable/CMAKE_LANG_PLATFORM_ID.html, but is documented as internal. Removing PLATFORM_ID from generator expressions would be a step backwards since it would remove an important use case, documentation CMAKE_<LAND>_PLATFORM_ID seems the right direction. In general the generator expression documentation could be more explicit about the corresponding variables. Steps to Reproduce: None. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2014-07-10 07:09 Philipp Möller New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
