CMAKE_EXPORT_BUILD_DATABASE
---------------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.31
.. note ::
This variable is meaningful only when experimental support for build
databases has been enabled by the
``CMAKE_EXPERIMENTAL_EXPORT_BUILD_DATABASE`` gate.
Enable/Disable output of module compile commands during the build.
If enabled, generates a ``build_database.json`` file containing the
information necessary to compile a target's C++ module sources with any
tooling. The format of the JSON file looks like:
.. code-block:: javascript
{
"version": 1,
"revision": 0,
"sets": [
{
"family-name" : "export_build_database",
"name" : "export_build_database@Debug",
"translation-units" : [
{
"arguments": [
"/path/to/compiler",
"...",
],
"baseline-arguments" :
[
"...",
],
"local-arguments" :
[
"...",
],
"object": "CMakeFiles/target.dir/source.cxx.o",
"private": true,
"provides": {
"importable": "path/to/bmi"
},
"requires" : [],
"source": "path/to/source.cxx",
"work-directory": "/path/to/working/directory"
}
],
"visible-sets" : []
}
]
}
This is initialized by the :envvar:`CMAKE_EXPORT_BUILD_DATABASE` environment
variable, and initializes the :prop_tgt:`EXPORT_BUILD_DATABASE` target
property for all targets.
.. note::
This option is implemented only by the :ref:`Ninja Generators`. It is
ignored on other generators.
When supported and enabled, numerous targets are created in order to make it
possible to build a file containing just the commands that are needed for the
tool in question.
``cmake_build_database-<CONFIG>``
Writes ``build_database_<CONFIG>.json``. Writes a build database for the
entire build for the given configuration and all languages. Not available if
the configuration name is the empty string.
``cmake_build_database-<LANG>-<CONFIG>``
Writes ``build_database_<LANG>_<CONFIG>.json``. Writes build database for
the entire build for the given configuration and language. Not available if
the configuration name is the empty string.
``cmake_build_database-<LANG>``
Writes ``build_database_<LANG>.json``. Writes build database for the entire
build for the given language and all configurations. In a multi-config
generator, other build configuration database may be assumed to exist.
``cmake_build_database``
Writes to ``build_database.json``. Writes build database for all languages
and configurations. In a multi-config generator, other build configuration
database may be assumed to exist.
