Summary0010492: CMAKE_CXX_STACK_SIZE parameter incorrectly handled when generating Visual Studio 2010 projects
DescriptionAdded this line to our CMakeLists.txt file:
  SET( CMAKE_CXX_STACK_SIZE "20000000" )
Generated VS 2010 .vcxproj file, compiled, linked, got error:
  LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '20000000.obj'

The one-line fix to this problem is in cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator.cxx, in cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteLinkOptions, change:
  if(stackVal)
    {
    flags += " ";
    flags += stackVal;
    }
to:
  if(stackVal)
    {
    flags += " /STACK:";
    flags += stackVal;
    }

I applied the above fix to my local build of CMake, and now the CMAKE_CXX_STACK_SIZE option properly sets the "Stack Reserve Size" field in Visual Studio and the program links and runs just fine.

Ping! Does adding this comment make this bug show up on someone's radar?

CMAKE_CXX_STACK_SIZE is an obscure flag, but it is a CMake feature that's totally broken for VS 2010.

The one-line (7-character) fix described above (change flags += " " to flags += " /STACK:") will take < 5 minutes for you to commit.

Thank you!

Bill, is this still like this in git next and master?

The good news: I just downloaded CMake 2.8.7 and Visual Studio 2011 Beta and was happy to see that CMake generally works great with VS 2011!

The bad news: This bug still exists. I haven't checked to see if VS 2010 and VS 2011 share the same project file generators, but it's either still a 7-character code fix or perhaps it has now become a 14-character code fix.

The fix: change 'flags += " "' to 'flags += " /STACK:"'
