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?
