Quirk releng.cmake.disable_export_compile_commands

For CMake-based projects, releng-tool will populate CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS to an enabled state. This is to help developers by default have a compilation database available for inspection and use by supplementary tooling.

If enabling this feature causes issues for a package, it can be disabled by configuring the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS option to use an unset value:

LIBFOO_CONF_DEFS = {
    'CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS': None,
}

However, if multiple packages have issues, developers may utilizes this quirk to disable this feature. The feature can be disabled using the releng.cmake.disable_export_compile_commands quirk using the command line:

releng-tool --quirk releng.cmake.disable_export_compile_commands

Or adding in the project configuration:

releng_config(
    ...
    quirks=[
        ...
        'releng.cmake.disable_export_compile_commands',
    ],
)
