+Contents of ``COMPILE_DEFINITIONS`` may use "generator expressions"
+with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)`
+manual for available expressions. However, :generator:`Xcode`
+does not support per-config per-source settings, so expressions
+that depend on the build configuration are not allowed with that
+generator.
+
+Generator expressions should be preferred instead of setting the alternative per-configuration
+property.
