Changelog: Fix:
XcodeToolchain's extra flags (tools.build:cflags/cxxflags/ldflags/defines) no longer get overwritten when installing more than one configuration for the same project.Docs: TODO
Running conan install twice for the same project, once per build_type, with
tools.build:cxxflags set to a different value each time:
overwrites the generated file
conan_global_flags.xcconfigentirely on thesecond install. Only
-DRELEASE_FLAGremains afterwards and-DDEBUG_FLAGis gone.Both the Debug and Release configurations in the resulting Xcode project end
up using
-DRELEASE_FLAG, regardless of which one is actually built. No erroror warning is produced.
Other settings XcodeToolchain writes (C++ standard, minimum OS version, etc.) don't have this problem, each configuration keeps its own value after multiple installs. Only the extra flags confs (cxxflags, cflags, ldflags, defines) are affected.
