| use-linker-depfile | |
| ------------------ | |
| * GNU (and GNU-compatible) linkers gained support for a ``--dependency-file`` | |
| flag in GNU Binutils 2.35 and LLVM's LLD 12.0.0. The | |
| :ref:`Makefile <Makefile Generators>` and :ref:`Ninja <Ninja Generators>` | |
| generators will now add these flags so that files read by the linker will | |
| cause a relink if they change (typically modified timestamps). | |
| This feature can be controlled by the variable | |
| :variable:`CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDS_USE_LINKER`. |
