VS: Tell VS 16.4 not to verify SYMBOLIC custom command outputs (!3860) · Merge requests · CMake / CMake

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:vs-16.4-custom-commands into master Sep 23, 2019

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 (closed)
