Learn how to use generator expressions in CMake to build C++ projects dynamically based on target properties.


        # Example of using generator expressions in CMake
        cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
        project(MyProject)

        add_library(MyLibrary src/mylibrary.cpp)

        target_compile_definitions(MyLibrary PRIVATE
            $,DEBUG_MODE,RELEASE_MODE>
        )
        target_include_directories(MyLibrary PRIVATE
            $,include/otherlib,include/default>
        )
        # In this example, we create compile definitions based on the configuration and target existence
