[cmake-developers] Extend CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS(_<CONFIG>) from a CMake Toolchain

[maikel van den Hurk]

Thanks I was exactly looking for this in particularly, must have searched wrongly!


Though I wonder for example how could I for example change in my toolchain file which is setting up a GCC based compiler for example in release context the optimisation from O3 (CMake internal setting) to O2. It seems that there is mainly done appending instead of prepending to the FLAGS_INIT. Where generally speaking in context of GCC the last defined flag will be used, so how to deal properly with that?

This has been possible since commit v3.7.0-rc1~392^2 (Honor
CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS[_<CONFIG>]_INIT set in toolchain files,
2016-07-05).  See the CMake 3.7 release notes:

  "Toolchain files may now set a CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_INIT variable
  to initialize the CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS cache entry the first time
  a language is enabled in a build tree."
