Summary0014853: CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_SYMROOT is overriden by CMake
DescriptionCMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_SYMROOT defined to custom directory is overriden by Xcode generator. To clarify I attached patch I'm using to enable user defined SYMROOT attribute.
I'm not sure if that was by design or not.

Why do you need to change the SYMROOT? If there is a good reason then CMake should have a first-class interface to do it. Hacking the attribute value may make object locations computed in cmGlobalXCodeGenerator::GetObjectsNormalDirectory wrong.

Default value for SYMROOT in Xcode project is 'build' and there is no way to keep it that way because CMake generator always replace it with absolute path to its output directory.
We relay on default value.

Re 0014853:0035593: I'd like to understand your use case in more detail, please. How and why do you rely on the default value?

We have build scripts spread on multiple branches written with assumption that build artifacts lands in default directory. It was more reasonable to change CMake than to edit scripts to match generated project.

Bottom line is I was unable to create Xcode project with settings that match default values and I think it may be an issue. If you decide it is not we just stick to modified version.
