Summary0015712: Add support for preprocessor definitions for Microsoft IDL (MIDL) compiler
DescriptionThere is currently no way (that I can see) of specifying preprocessor definitions to the MIDL. Looking at the Visual Studio 10 generator source code, it never even attempts to write out a "<PreprocessorDefinitions>" tag.

I would have a go at implementing it myself and submitting a patch, but I'm not sure the best way to go about it. Should you do it via "target_compile_definitions" using an "IDL" language tag, then use clOptions.OutputPreprocessorDefinitions(..., "IDL")?

For the RC language (resource compiler) see cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator::WriteRCOptions. The IDL language could work the same way. However, support should also be implemented in the other generators (e.g. Ninja and Makefiles).
