Questions from Sergey:
1. Will the new build model support building multiple binary artifacts per project? Since each GTest is a separate binary, it doesn't make sense to create a separate project for every unit test.
2. Have you looked at http://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html
Quick Answers:
1. Well, the trick is, there is really no build model. Whatever system you're using to build, CMake, qmake, ..., decide those limitations. Having said that, we need to make sure we deal with multiple binaries in other places like the launch bar. How do we decide which binary to use for a given launch.
2. Nope but I will.
Questions from Marc-Andre:
1. I consider CMake, qmake, autotools, CDT Makefile generator to be "build generators" (build configurators?). Those typically need to be ran once than you execute a build command such as make, ninja, etc. Would it not make sense to have the build generator concept separate from the builders?
