CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LINKER_FRONTEND_VARIANT
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.29
|
|
|
|
Identification string of the linker frontend variant.
|
|
|
|
Some linkers have multiple, different frontends for accepting command
|
|
line options. For example, ``LLVM LLD`` originally only had a frontend
|
|
compatible with the ``GNU`` compiler, but since its port to Windows
|
|
(``lld-link``), it now also supports a frontend compatible with ``MSVC``.
|
|
When CMake detects such a linker, it sets this variable to what would have been
|
|
the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LINKER_ID` for the linker whose frontend
|
|
it resembles.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
In other words, this variable describes what command line options
|
|
and language extensions the linker frontend expects.
