Thanks for the response Brad! I would be interested in the JSON format. Do you have any opinions on what that would look like or would you just like to see some implementation before proceding?

No one is actively working on it AFAIK. The central tracking issue for this is here: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/16153 Basically one needs to add a bunch more flag tables and then teach the generators to choose a table based on the toolset rather than the generator. The additional tables could be hard-coded in the C++ source. Alternatively one could design a JSON format to look up the tables from some resource directory that comes with CMake. That would allow additional tables to be added without re-compiling. I don't think we should allow projects to provide the files themselves though because we should reserve the right to refactor them at will. -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.
