[CMake] Program Database for Edit & Continue support

[aaron.meadows at thomsonreuters.com]

If you supply add_definitions(/ZI) it will override the /Zi default and
provide you with the edit and continue setting.

 

I verified the behavior with this cmakelists.txt:

 

With /ZI:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)

project(TestProj CXX)

file(WRITE  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/main.cpp "int main(int argc,
char** argc) { return 0; }")

add_definitions(/ZI)

add_executable(TestExe main.cpp)

 

Without /ZI:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)

project(TestProj CXX)

file(WRITE  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/main.cpp "int main(int argc,
char** argc) { return 0; }")

add_executable(TestExe main.cpp)

 

 

Here is the relevant difference in the generated TestExe.vcxproj:

 

87c87

<       <DebugInformationFormat>EditAndContinue</DebugInformationFormat>

---

>       <DebugInformationFormat>ProgramDatabase</DebugInformationFormat>

Subject: [CMake] Program Database for Edit & Continue support

 

In Visual Studio 2008, CMake generates projects to use the /Zi option,
which is just "Program Database" in visual studio. The /ZI option
enables "Program Database with Edit & Continue", allowing the edit &
continue functionality to be used. Is there a built in feature to change
the debug information format in generated VS projects?
