CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW -------------------------- .. versionadded:: 3.17 Setting this variable to true enables showing a context with each line logged by the :command:`message` command (see :variable:`CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT` for how the context itself is specified). This variable is an alternative to providing the ``--log-context`` option on the :manual:`cmake ` command line. Whereas the command line option will apply only to that one CMake run, setting ``CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW`` to true as a cache variable will ensure that subsequent CMake runs will continue to show the message context. Projects should not set ``CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW``. It is intended for users so that they may control whether or not to include context with messages.
