Summary0010809: support setting the config/build type used for initial try_compiles
DescriptionThere is no way to set the build type used for the try_compile in CMake's working compiler check and its ABI determination. CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION is only honored for multi-config generators like Visual Studio project files.

My current workaround is to set CMAKE_MODULE_PATH such that my custom Plaform/Windows-cl.cmake is included, which looks like:

  include(${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/Platform/Windows-cl.cmake)
  set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE_INIT Release)

Note that my motivation for this is to avoid pdb creation when compiling over cygwin ssh. xref http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2010-May/037212.html [^]

Wow, the origin of CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION takes me back:

We should honor CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION for all try_compile calls so that it works for those invoked by CMake's builtin modules too.
