Documentation: naming in OBJECT library example confusing
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html#object-libraries says:
“The OBJECT
library type defines a non-archival collection of object files” (emphasis mine) but then goes on to define an OBJECT
library called archive
, which is confusing. It makes the reader wonder what the doc is trying to indicate by calling this thing archive
. It should either be renamed (I suggest base_sources
) or the rationale for the naming should be explained.
