If you are the author of some software then this is fine. But I have
the case where I have
to use some existing visual studio projects using /MT and a cmake
project, both of which
I am not the maintainer and therefore changes cannot be made. So it
was quite complicated
to get it working.
But what is against my proposal of splitting the -G option? for visual
studio there are
two more platforms except Win32 and Win64, some smartphone and mobile
stuff.
So the number of generators will explode anyway. with four versions
and four platforms
this are a whopping number of 16 generators for visual studio alone.
The generators are compiler and/or build system specific. In other
words, none of the generators now have anything to do with compile flags.
Compiler flags have always been controlled with variables in cmake.
So what I think you are asking for is a change in design.
And you'd get a whole lot more than 16 generators if other compiler
flags were also considered. And there's also the complication of
adjusting those same compile flags to different values for different
libraries/executables within one project.
