    VS: Tell VS 16.4 not to verify SYMBOLIC custom command outputs · 0578239d
    Brad King authored
    VS 16.4 introduces an additional check on `CustomBuild` rules that warns
    if the outputs of the command are not created.  However, CMake supports
    marking outputs with the `SYMBOLIC` property to indicate that they will
    not actually be generated.  That property is used by Makefile and Ninja
    generators but has not been needed by the VS generators before.  Teach
    the VS generator to disable `VerifyInputsAndOutputsExist` in custom
    build rules that have a symbolic output.
    
    Fixes: #19737
