This predates Gitlab usage for patch submission (which started around
July 2016).

They're internal and not meant for use outside of CMake itself. There
have been threads on this before. Here's one with a patch to document it
that was rejected as-is:

There was an attempt to document them:
https://www.mail-archive.com/cmake-developers@cmake.org/msg16693.html

I don't know why it wasn't a pull request on gitlab though.

Cheers,
Cristian.

[cmake-developers] Undocumented command line flags (-H, -B) why?

2018-01-16 Thread Eric Noulard 
Hi there,

I came accross -H and -B undocumented command line flags for cmake:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24460486/cmake-build-type-not-being-used-in-cmakelists-txt/24470998#24470998

Is there any reason to keep those undocumented?
