Summary0015405: Undefined behavior when introducing CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR over a plain generator
DescriptionIf I generate a CodeBlocks build over a plain one, the generated .cbp file is missing entries that are present when generating a CodeBlocks build in a clean directory.

The question is, is it valid to introduce extra generators over a plain one, and this is a bug with the CodeBlocks generator, or is it invalid, in which case it should fail with a descriptive error message instead of silently generating incorrect results.
TagsNo tags attached.

 It's certainly unexpected, isn't it? If you change generators, the expectation is that you will start with a clean build tree...

 CMake fails if CMAKE_GENERATOR changes but currently allows CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR to change.

The questions is if this is an oversight or if it is intentional / by design.

 It's an oversight.

 OTOH I'm not quite sure what should go wrong.

So after generating a project you added -DCMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR=CodeBlocks, and then got a cbp file where some things were missing ?
I never tried that.

 Actually, -DCMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR=CodeBlocks over a plain build works correctly.

The way I did instead is to generate -G 'CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles` over a plain `Unix Makefiles` build.

I attached a diff that shows the missing includes in that case.
