引言

当使用CMake构建时,可以设置C和C++编译器。此示例与hello-cmake示例相同,只是它显示了将编译器从默认的GCC更改为clang的最基本方法。

本教程中的文件如下:

$ tree
.
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── main.cpp
  • [CMakeLists.txt] - 包含要运行的CMake命令。

    # Set the minimum version of CMake that can be used
    # To find the cmake version run
    # $ cmake --version
    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
    
    # Set the project name
    project (hello_cmake)
    
    # Add an executable
    add_executable(hello_cmake main.cpp)
    
  • [main.cpp] - 一个简单的“Hello World”C++文件。

    #include <iostream>
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
       std::cout << "Hello CMake!" << std::endl;
       return 0;
    }
    

概念

编译器选项

CMake公开了用于控制编译和链接代码的程序的选项。这些程序包括:

  • CMAKE_C_COMPILER - 用于编译c代码的程序.
  • CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER - 用于编译c++代码的程序.
  • CMAKE_LINKER - 用于链接二进制文件的程序.

设置标志

如第6节示例中所述,你可以使用cmake gui或通过命令行来设置CMake选项。

下面是通过命令行向编译器传递参数的示例。

cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang-3.6 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++-3.6

在设置这些选项之后,当你运行make时,clang将用于编译你的二进制文件。这可以从make输出中的以下几行看出。

/usr/bin/clang++-3.6     -o CMakeFiles/hello_cmake.dir/main.cpp.o -c /home/matrim/workspace/cmake-examples/01-basic/I-compiling-with-clang/main.cpp
Linking CXX executable hello_cmake
/usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/hello_cmake.dir/link.txt --verbose=1
/usr/bin/clang++-3.6       CMakeFiles/hello_cmake.dir/main.cpp.o  -o hello_cmake -rdynamic

构建示例

下面是示例输出:

$ mkdir build.clang

$ cd build.clang/

$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang-3.6 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++-3.6
