有条件地将文件添加到C ++项目中的库中

Question

I have a CMake C++ project that consist of a library and multiple executable applications. The library contains many files and conditionally depending on whether the user wants to have GPU acceleration the list of files in the library should be different eg

if (GPU_ACCELERATED) 
   add_library(my_library
      file1.h
      file1.cc
      gpu_file2.h
      gpu_file2.cc
   )
else()
   add_library(my_library
      file1.h
      file1.cc
   )
endif()

This is one way of doing it but the problem is that I have a massive number of files and not just file1.h file1.cc therefore I'd very strongly prefer to avoid duplicating the file listing like that. I would rather like something like this to work (but doesn't) eg

add_library(my_library
    file1.h
    file1.cc
    if (GPU_ACCELERATED) 
       gpu_file2.h
       gpu_file2.cc
    endif()
 )

Answer 1

Use the set command to create and update CMake variables:

set(my_SOURCES file1.h file1.cc)

if (GPU_ACCELERATED)
    set(my_SOURCES ${my_SOURCES} gpu_file2.h gpu_file2.cc)
endif()

add_library(my_library ${my_SOURCES})

This will define a my_SOURCES variable, if GPU_ACCELERATED is true it will update it. Then create your library from the content of the variable.
