Hi, I'm building llvm project with CMake. While build process is compiling the code I prefer running "make -j3" on my 4 core pc (bumping processor to 100% on 3 of 4 cores and using up ~5 GB of ram - part of it is system and not build related). While build process is linking I must run "make" with a single job because otherwise I run out of memory (cores do little work but ram usage goes past 23 GB).
Currently I'm handling this so that I first run "make -j3" and once I get to about 90% (first larger linking) I hit ctrl+c and run "make". Is there a feature in CMake that would support handling this transition of parallel builds, sequential linking out of the box? (while I'm mostly interested in Linux/make support, having the same feature for Windows/nmake/ninja through the same command line cmake command would be even better) Thanks, Domen
