[CMake] Naive (stupid?) question

[John Drescher]

>    apologies for the stupid question. I have a large project and at times a change triggers unexpected consequences, i.e. very large recompilations, rebuild of the cmake makefiles and so on. Is there a way in cmake to understand why things happens? I mean which chain of dependencies causes a given action to be taken? It would be for me very interesting to understand something more about the dependencies in my project, to be able to reduce them. Thanks and best regards,

Are you generating header files in CMake? If so these change on every
invocation of CMake? And is a lot of your project dependent on these
header files?
