Summary0015975: GHS Multi Generator: COPY_FILE in try_compile does not work
Descriptiontry_compile COPY_FILE: The GHS MULTI Compiler compiles+links the executable to "targetname.as", but the CMake Generator currently looks for "targetname" (without extension). As a folder with such a name exists in the build directory COPY_FILE copies the folder instead of the built executable and the try_compile execution does not fail.

Steps To ReproduceCreate a simple CMakeLists.txt like this:

try_compile(
    result
    "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp"
    "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/test.c"
    COPY_FILE "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/test_executable"
)
message(STATUS "result of try_compile: " ${result})


Create a simple test program as "test.c":

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    return 0;
}

Run CMake using GHS MULTI Generator (ARM Integrity).

Actual result:
try_compile succeeds and a empty folder "test_executable" is created in the build directory

Expected result:
try_compile succeeds and the built executable "test_executable" is located in the build directory
Additional InformationI've tried setting
set("CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX", ".as")
manually at various locations but it didn't work. Either it wasn't set at all or overwritten; I don't know.

adding
set(CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX ".as")

in
Modules\Compiler\GHS-C.cmake
Modules\Compiler\GHS-CXX.cmake

solves the problem for me.

Use the attached "testproject.zip" for testing.
I've tested using the Greenhills MULTI compiler version "201416".
