Summary0014274: QtDialog Compiler Chooser Should Not Resolve Symlinks
DescriptionUsing QtDialog for CMake, when choosing the compiler using the file selection dialog (QFileDialog), if the selected file is a symlink, the symlink is resolved. For example, if /usr/bin/clang++ is chosen for the C++ compiler, the file /usr/bin/clang is substituted because /usr/bin/clang++ is a symlink to /usr/bin/clang. At execution time, if the C versus C++ mode is not otherwise specified, Clang looks at the executable name to decide the mode.

This issue may be platform dependent. It could be related to the fact that native dialogs are used on OS X. I am not sure.
Steps To Reproduce1. Select a location for source code and a new build directory.
2. Choose Configure, and select "specify default compilers."
3. Click the "..." button next to C++, and choose a file that is a symlink.
4. The text edit box will have the the resolved symlink instead of the chosen file.
