It is useful for +specifying generated files or directories that are used by multiple targets +or by CMake itself, or that are generated in ways which cannot be captured as +outputs or byproducts of custom commands. + +If an additional clean file is specific to a single target only, then the +:prop_tgt:`ADDITIONAL_CLEAN_FILES` target property would usually be a better +choice than this directory property. + +Relative paths are allowed and are interpreted relative to the +current binary directory. + +Contents of ``ADDITIONAL_CLEAN_FILES`` may use +:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`. + +This property only works for the :generator:`Ninja` and the Makefile +generators. It is ignored by other generators. |
