The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15518 ====================================================================== Reported By: Paul "TBBle" Hampson Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15518 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: text Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-04-17 04:03 EDT Last Modified: 2015-04-17 04:03 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: PDB_NAME documentation doesn't mention that it uses OUTPUT_NAME if defined Description: The PDB_NAME documentation has always stated:
This property specifies the base name for the debug symbols file. If not set, the logical target name is used by default. (since 2.8.10 when it was introduced: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.10/cmake.html#prop_tgt:PDB_NAME up to 3.2: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/prop_tgt/PDB_NAME.html) However, examining the original commit (http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=3f60dbf1#patch7) shows that it actually uses cmTarget::GetFullNameInternal, which honours OUTPUT_NAME. This is also true of the _<CONFIG> variants. It's correct behaviour, so it's just the documentation that needs updating, hence the given Severity. Steps to Reproduce: * Create a target using OUTPUT_NAME that differs from the logical target name. * Generate a Visual Studio solution * Note that the PDB generated is OUTPUT_NAME.pdb, not logicalName.pdb. Additional Information: The unit tests don't cover this case, but I expect that a unit test setting OUTPUT_NAME and PDB_NAME would trivially demonstrate the actual behaviour. I assume the text was just copied from the OUTPUT_NAME documentation, which is the only other place that this text appears, and it makes sense there. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-04-17 04:03 Paul "TBBle" HampsonNew Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
