The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=16110 ====================================================================== Reported By: Roman Popov Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 16110 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2016-05-25 18:46 EDT Last Modified: 2016-05-25 18:46 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: LINK_LIBRARIES contains both libraries and flags, separate variables required Description: For example, if I write my own link rule: set(CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE "echo \" <LINK_LIBRARIES> \" ") LINK_LIBRARIES will evaluate to : - flags (like: -rdynamic -Wl,-rpath,rpath1:rpath2 ...) - static libraries (like: lib1.a -lthreads ...) - dynamic libraries (like: libdlib.so )
To support new gcc-compatible linking tools (for example Synopsys VCS or Cadence NCSIM ) flags and libs need to be separated: for example into some new variables: LINK_LIBRARIES_FLAGS , LINK_LIBRARIES_STATIC, LINK_LIBRARIES_SHARED. In that case user can simply define new linking rules, for example: (CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE "vcs -sysc -LDFLAGS \" <LINK_LIBRARIES_FLAGS> \" <LINK_LIBRARIES_STATIC> <LINK_LIBRARIES_SHARED> <OBJECTS>") ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2016-05-25 18:46 Roman Popov 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.
