I didn't follow the whole thread, just a few quick questions from looking at
the file:
{
"name": "obj2yaml",
"type": "EXECUTABLE",
"configs": [
],
"directory": "/home/kde-devel/tmp/llvm/build/bin",
"location": "/home/kde-devel/tmp/llvm/build/bin/obj2yaml",
"backtrace": ["/home/kde-devel/tmp/llvm/cmake/modules/AddLLVM.cmake:452",
"/home/kde-devel/tmp/llvm/cmake/modules/AddLLVM.cmake:485",
"/home/kde-devel/tmp/llvm/tools/obj2yaml/CMakeLists.txt:6"],
"installed": true
},
I guess "name" is the name of the target, type, configs, location, backtrace
and installed seem to be clear.
What about "directory" ?
This is not the build dir where the target is defined (i.e.
cmake_binary_dir(llvm/tools/obj2yaml/), is it ?
This directory would seem useful to me, e.g. you can run "make help" there to
get the list of targets to compile/assemble/preprocess the files for that
target. Or you can run the clean-script for that target.
