Summary

0014182: set_property file.c PROPERTY COMPILE_FLAGS should allow a list of flags

Description

set_property(SOURCE file.c PROPERTY COMPILE_FLAGS "-DX=FOO -DBAR=ZOO")

is nice, unless you want to pass strings with spaces etc. I can't imagine setting compile flags this way is very portable.

The alternative is to create "static libraries", set additional cflags for those, then link agains the static libraries - but that's overkill.

Setting priority to low because I don't require the feature (evaluating alternative configuration tools trying to find one which can run cofiguration tests in parallel)

configuration dependent COMPILE_FLAGS for SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES

Notes
(0033160) Brad King (manager) 2013-05-31 08:08	The COMPILE_FLAGS property was originally created as a hook for low-level access to the generated compilation command lines. A higher-level COMPILE_OPTIONS property that works with lists and handles escaping automatically has been considered for a long time. I think Stephen's current work on a COMPILE_OPTIONS property will resolve this.

(0033161) Brad King (manager) 2013-05-31 08:09	FYI, you can already use the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property to add preprocessor definitions: set_property(SOURCE file.c PROPERTY COMPILE_DEFINITIONS X=FOO BAR=ZOO)

(0033215) Stephen Kelly (developer) 2013-06-03 12:56	This would require adding a COMPILE_OPTIONS property at the source file level. Putting in the backlog until someone is interested in that.
