c++ - Cmake generator expressions -

-

i'm trying long time understand benefit of generator expressions such $<xxx:yy> in cmake, when , how use them. can explain examples. many thank in advance

cmake first parse cmakelists.txt files in project - named "configuration phase" - , generates build environment - named "generation phase".

so generator expressions generator know:

  • the name , path of target outputs (mainly when cross-compiling , in multi-configuration environments)
  • or more target property generator evaluates mingle compiler/linker calls

here examples use generator expressions in project:

  1. copying files next executable (in multi-configuration environments can't use variables cmake_current_binary_dir)

    add_custom_command(     target library1      post_build     command ${cmake_command} -e copy         "$<target_file:library1>"         "$<target_file_dir:mainproject>/$<target_file_name:library1>" )

    cmake post-build-event: copy compiled libraries

    add_custom_command(     target mybinary      post_build         command ${cmake_command} -e copy                        "${cmake_current_source_dir}/mytest.txt"                       "$<target_file_dir:mybinary>/mytest.txt" )

    how add external test files cmake project

  2. differentiate e.g. debug or release configurations

    add_compile_options("$<$<config:debug>:/mdd>")

    for cmake, can modify release/debug compiler flags `add_compiler_flags()` command?

    modern way set compiler flags in cross-platform cmake project

  3. with target_property generator expression lot of things e.g.

    file(generate      output "includes.txt"      content "$<target_property:motor,include_directories>\n" )

    cmake doesn't pick interface_include_directories of linked library

so code works fine logger riddled message. there way rid of or suppress it? postannotation.swift class postannotation: mkpointannotation { //mark: properties let post: post //mark: initialization init(post: post) { self.post = post super.init() self.coordinate = cllocationcoordinate2d(latitude: post.latitude, longitude: post.longitude) self.title = post.title self.subtitle = post.timestring() } } adding annotation let annotation = postannotation(post: post) self.map.addannotation(annotation) func mapview func mapview(_ mapview: mkmapview, viewfor annotation: mkannotation) -> mkannotationview? { if annotation mkuserlocation { return nil } var annotationview = mapview.dequeuereusableannotationview(withidentifier: "pin") as? mkpinannotationview if annotationview == nil { annotationview = mkpinannotationview(annotation: annotation, reuseidentifier: "pin")
