Even if another vendor implements it the one we're identifying will still be provided by "Apple". The above wording was poor. > This seems somehow wrong.

The PGI compiler id is "PGI". The PathScale compiler id is "PathScale". The TI compiler id is "TI". The GNU compiler id is "GNU". The Cray compiler id is "Cray". The Absoft compiler id is "Absoft". There is plenty of precedent to use the vendor name. -Brad -- 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.
