When celero is added to a project as dependency via FetchContent and built in the consuming project build,
celeros explicit setting of CMAKE_<BUILD_TYPE>_POSTFIX spills into the consuming project.
This leads to library names added "-d" in debug mode. Which is not always wanted.
If those lines are needed, I would like to suggest putting it behind a cmake option for those who don't want this.
For example like
option(CELERO_SET_LIBRARY_POSTFIX "Set OFF to prevent celero setting cache variables for CMAKE_<BUILDTYPE>_POSTFIX." ON)
if(CELERO_SET_LIBRARY_POSTFIX)
set(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX "-d" CACHE STRING "add a postfix, usually d on windows")
set(CMAKE_RELEASE_POSTFIX "" CACHE STRING "add a postfix, usually empty on windows")
set(CMAKE_RELWITHDEBINFO_POSTFIX "-rd" CACHE STRING "add a postfix, usually empty on windows")
set(CMAKE_MINSIZEREL_POSTFIX "" CACHE STRING "add a postfix, usually empty on windows")
endif()
I see v2.9.0 might contain breaking changes.
That's why I would like to see this fix in a v2.8.X version.
Shall I make a pull request to branch "develop" instead?
