New in version 3.17.
Setting this variable to true enables showing a context with each line logged by the message()
command (see CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT
for how the context itself is specified).
This variable is an alternative to providing the --log-context
option on the cmake
command line. Whereas the command line option will apply only to that one CMake run, setting CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW
to true as a cache variable will ensure that subsequent CMake runs will continue to show the message context.
Projects should not set CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW
. It is intended for users so that they may control whether or not to include context with messages.
