For clang, this allows passing -target <triple> to the compiler, and
for qcc, -V<arch> using toolchain files containing something like
set(triple arm-linux-gnueabihf)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang")
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang++")
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})
or
set(arch gcc_ntoarmv7le)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/qcc)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/QCC)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})
Both clang and qcc are inherently cross compiler( driver)s.
This is initialized by CMAKE_<LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET. The target
property is used as the operand to the -fvisibility= compile option
with GNU compilers and clang.
In GNU.cmake, -isystem is not used if APPLE is set. However, Clang has
pretty much always supported -isystem, so we should always use it.
In the future, GNU.cmake should do a version check to see if -isystem is
supported.
The GNU compiler information file tests for GNU >= 3.4 because earlier
versions do not have the flag. The version number test is not valid for
Clang compiler versions, but we know Clang supports the flag.
While Clang presents an almost identical interface to GNU there will be
some differences. Split the compiler information modules to allow
separate rules for Clang. Start by loading the GNU rules but leave a
place to add Clang-specific information.
