.. versionadded:: 4.2
CMAKE_INTERMEDIATE_DIR_STRATEGY is a string cache variable specifying the
strategy to use for target intermediate directories and their contents. The
supported values are:
FULL: Intermediate directories are named based on a
<TARGET_NAME>.dir pattern (with some slight deviations and sanitizations
applied in various places). Object file names are based on the filename of
the source file being compiled or, if set, its :prop_sf:OBJECT_NAME
property.SHORT: Intermediate directories are named from the hash of the target
name and the build directory location. Object file names are based on hashes
of the source file name to reduce path lengths. This may help with projects
that generate long paths in the build directory to support building in
directories other than those near a root path.When unset or the named strategy is not supported, the FULL strategy is
used.
.. note:: This only works as a cache variable, not a locally-scoped variable.
This is supported by the following generators:
Ninja GeneratorsMakefile GeneratorsVisual Studio Generators.. note:: Not all generators support all strategies and paths may differ between generators.
