[CMake] XCode Generation Issue

[David Morsberger]

Any help would be appreciated. 

In particular I’d like to know how the default compiler arguments are set when ‘cmake -G Xcode’ is executed. The attached file contains the cmake test compile extracted and reformatted from CMakeOutput.log that should have failed. Again, what is setting all the clang compiler options when this is executed?



All help is appreciated
