Here is some output from my companies project configuration:
-- Check if the system is big endian
-- Searching 16 bit integer
-- Looking for sys/types.h
-- Looking for sys/types.h - found
-- Looking for stdint.h
-- Looking for stdint.h - found
-- Looking for stddef.h
-- Looking for stddef.h - found
-- Check size of unsigned short
-- Check size of unsigned short - done
-- Using unsigned short
-- Check if the system is big endian - little endian
... add_subdirectory(foo)
-- Check if the system is big endian
-- Searching 16 bit integer
-- Using unsigned short
-- Check if the system is big endian - little endian
... add_subdirectory(bar)
-- Check if the system is big endian
-- Searching 16 bit integer
-- Using unsigned short
-- Check if the system is big endian - little endian
As you can see TestBigEndian is constantly outputting out. However this isn’t desirable and clutters the output.
It would be nice if instead of message outputting to STATUS it output to DEBUG or VERBOSE instead.
