Is there a reason that incremental linking is enabled by default with generated output from cmake? Hmm and it's not disabled in release mode... I went to check to see what the option actually does for (or to) me..
-- from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4khtbfyf(v=vs.80).aspx -- An incrementally linked program is functionally equivalent to a program that is nonincrementally linked. However, because it is prepared for subsequent incremental links, an incrementally linked executable (.exe) file or dynamic-link library (DLL): Is larger than a nonincrementally linked program because of padding of code and data. (Padding allows the linker to increase the size of functions and data without recreating the .exe file.) May contain jump thunks to handle relocation of functions to new addresses. Note To ensure that your final release build does not contain padding or thunks, link your program nonincrementally. ---- Does make sense for debug modes, if edit and continue is enabled... I see that's not enabled though... I wouldn't have even stumbled across this other than I have two projects (video_link_server) and (video_link_server.isp) (the first is a program, and gets an implied .exe extension sorta) which both try to reference $(OutDir)/video_link_server[.ilk] for incremental linking. Since that file isn't explicitly defined by cmake output, can't directly blame cmake; however, if incremental linking isn't a feature, disabling it will fix this.... _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
