Summary

0014327: CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX For Executables

Description

According to the documentation, CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX does not apply executables due to legacy reasons. It would be nice if this also applied to executables and then use the policy system to enforce OLD or NEW.

Steps To Reproduce

SET(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX "D"
    CACHE STRING
    "Adds a debug postfix symbol, usually \"D\" on Windows."
    FORCE)

# the above does not apply to executables

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetProject}
                      PROPERTIES
                      DEBUG_POSTFIX "D")

# the above applies the postfix value for executables

Additional Information

Something like:

CMAKE_POLICY(SET CMP0021 NEW)

would enforce the new standard of allowing CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX to be applied to that configurations executables too.
