🦟 Bug fix
Fixes compilation of gz-* projects with
clang-cl
.Summary
On Windows, there are two drivers available for the clang compiler:
clang
, that takes in input GCC-style compiler flagsclang-cl
, that takes in input MSVC-style compiler flagsWhen
clang-cl
is used, it does not make sense to pass to it GCC-style compiler flags. Befor this PR, GCC-style compiler flags were passed to clang-cl, that due to some combination with the existing MSVC flags resulted in the wrong C++ standard version be used when compiling the project, creating an endless list of warnings like:This PR fixes this by only adding GCC-style compiler flags if
clang
is used, and not adding them ifclang-cl
is using. Strictly speaking the variable used to check ifclang-cl
is used isCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_FRONTEND_VARIANT
, that was only introduced in CMake 3.14 while gz-cmake3 supprots CMake 3.2 . However, if that code is evaluted in CMake <= 3.13, the variableCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_FRONTEND_VARIANT
will be empty and the check:will be false.
