Subject: [CMake] Is there an idiomatic way of setting platform specific compiler options in a generic way?

I am developing platform support for an embedded target (Z8 Encore!), and it mostly works – but I'd \
like to make it easier to set the compiler and linker flags, as there's a ton of them: and they are \
nothing like GNU flags, so they only apply when building for that particular target.
Thus a question: is there a preferred way for the user to set platform-specific flags without having to \
know them exactly? I'm thinking of having some sort of platform-agnostic means of selecting compile and \
link flags, and then translating those for the platform the target is generated for.
Specifically, I want to avoid having the following in CMakeLists for the project:
if("${COMPILER_ID}" strequal "ez8cc")
target_compile_options(target1 PRIVATE -const:RAM)
elseif("${COMPILER_ID}" strequal "gcc" and "${CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR}" strequal "somecpu")
target_compile_definitions(target1 PRIVATE ram rom far near) # those shall be empty
endif()
I'd like to do something like this instead:
set_target_properties(target1 PROPERTIES OPT_CONST RAM OPT_PACK TIGHT …)
Then, a process_target_opts() function called at the end of CMakeLists would iterate the targets, and for \
each target call process_${COMPILER_ID}_opts() (if such function would be present or issue a warning \
otherwise). That function then converts the OPT_ options to platform-specific flags, based on cpu and/or \
compiler.
Is it something that would be more-or-less idiomatic, or is there another preferred way of doing it? I \
really don't want to list the options manually for each target/platform combo, as they'd differ quite a \
bit, and I have lots of targets (hundreds).
I'd appreciate any hints.
Cheers, Kuba Ober
