Summary0015655: file(GENERATE) fails of the destination directory doesn't exist
DescriptionI wanted to use file(GENERATE) to create some files in an output build directory, but these directories don't exist at the time of configure and build so the command fails. These directories are created during build, though so CMake knows about them somehow.

set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin)

file(GENERATE OUTPUT ${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/$<CONFIG>/test.out CONTENT "Hello, world")

file(WRITE a.cpp "int main() { return 0; }")
add_executable(a a.cpp)
