Summary0014860: cmake and ninja on windows generate a command with an rsp file that's not understood by the link command
DescriptionFollowing lines are generated in rules.ninja
#############################################
# Rule for linking ASM static library.

rule ASM_STATIC_LIBRARY_LINKER
  command = cmd.exe /c $PRE_LINK && armar -r $out $LINK_FLAGS $in && $POST_BUILD
  description = Linking ASM static library $out


#############################################
# Rule for linking ASM static library.

rule ASM_STATIC_LIBRARY_LINKER_RSP_FILE
  command = cmd.exe /c $PRE_LINK && armar -r $out $LINK_FLAGS @$RSP_FILE && $POST_BUILD
  description = Linking ASM static library $out
  rspfile = $RSP_FILE
  rspfile_content = $in_newline $LINK_PATH $LINK_LIBRARIES

The armar command takes --via=${RSP_FILE} as a redirection mechanism

The armar command is defined in my toolchain file as :

set(CMAKE_${lang}_CREATE_STATIC_LIBRARY "<CMAKE_AR> -r <TARGET> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS>")

I found no documentation on the <OBJECTS> token on when this is defined, how this can be used. Is there any way that i can detect/force the use of an rsp file AND influence the string used (@) to indicate the redirection to a file (--via=)?

Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationThe actual command issued
 cmd.exe /c cd . && armar -r third-party\threadx\src\threadx_ptp_arm_cortexr4.lib @CMakeFiles/threadx_ptp.rsp && cd .
Error: L6833E: File '@CMakeFiles/threadx_ptp.rsp' does not exist

Ninja uses the <LANG>_RESPONSE_FILE_LINK_FLAG variable to use before the $RSP_FILE parameter (and defaults to "@" if none is found).

Setting the CMAKE_<LANG>_RESPONSE_FILE_LINK_FLAG variable works! Thanks
