utility fromcoding-conventions
instead of custom commands usingcmake -E copy_if_different
, this is more expressive and allows the build system (Ninja, make etc.) to check for updates more efficiently ( + makes it easier to declare dependencies on the build-tree copies of files).${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/share/lib
to${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/share/nrn/lib
twice.In my setup (
cmake -G Ninja ...
) this makes the initial run of CMake a little faster and makes incremental builds with few changes O(10x) faster (cmake --build .
with no changes now takes ~1s not ~10s). It also removes some spammy output from the test infrastructure towards the end of CMake execution. When using legacy Unix Makefiles/make
the improvement is smaller but still extant.(see also BlueBrain/CoreNeuron#517 which is along the same lines)
