The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=16043 ====================================================================== Reported By: Zachary Turner Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 16043 Category: CMake Reproducibility: N/A Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2016-03-31 15:12 EDT Last Modified: 2016-03-31 15:12 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: Support natvis source file type in the MSVC Project Generator Description: Starting with Visual Studio 14 2015, vcxproj files can contain references to natvis files which enable custom debug visualizers for project specific types.
You specify these in the vcxproj file by including them in a <natvis> tag. Currently the MSVC project generator has no support for these. Through some hackery, it is still possible to get these files to appear in the vcxproj file with a <None> tag, and testing shows that it will work as long as the file has a .natvis extension, but a) this is undocumented / unsupported reliance on an implementation detail, b) it doesn't work if your file does not have a .natvis extension, and c) there could be some issues with doing this which we are unaware of. It would be nice if you could write some CMake code like this: `set_source_files_properties(foo.natvis LANGUAGE natvis)` and this would cause the vcxproj generator to use a <natvis> tag instead of a <none> or <clcompile> tag, and this seems to fit well within CMake's language / generation model anyway. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2016-03-31 15:12 Zachary Turner 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.
