Proposal: Dependency pre-scanner for generated includes

[chapuni (Takumi Nakamura)]

FYI, I found a similar issue.

Automatically detecting generated dependencies

I saw a topic reference this one and I thought I’d suggest some functionality for CMake that would be useful. We couldn’t go with CMake largely because of this problem and instead went with an in-house solution. We can declare virtual header files that the dependency scanner is aware of. These files are not guaranteed to exist during scanning and are not scanned themselves; nonetheless, the proper dependency is made between the source file and the various generated headers. It would be nice if C…
