Summary: CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX: mention in the
documentation when it starts to be available
Description:
Apparently this variable may only be used after the project() command in
CMakeLists.txt... perhaps that's quite obvious but still mentioning it in the
docs (e.g. just before the list of "Variables for Languages") might save someone
some time. Example below.
HTH,
Sylwester
Steps to Reproduce:
$ cat CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
if(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX)
message("compiler detected as: GNU compiler")
else()
message("compiler detected as: non-GNU compiler")
endif()
project(test CXX)
execute_process(COMMAND "${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}" "--version" COMMAND "head" "-1"
OUTPUT_VARIABLE CXX_VERSION OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE)
message("compiler: ${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}")
message("version: ${CXX_VERSION}")
$ cmake .
