you may want to check how much this slows down the cmake runtime on a big project, like e.g. vtk or Paraview.

 

There's another issue with this.

Doing it like that, you'll get the information if CDT executes cmake explicitely.

 

If a CMakeLists.txt is changed, or a cmake cache value is changed, e.g. via cmake-gui, cmake will re-run automatically when building again.

In that case as far as I see you will not get the --trace etc. output., or am I missing something ?
