My beef is that the CMake documentation does not tell you what compilers a particular generator supports, except for the Visual Studio generators. Period.
Because this is an odd question, in a cmake-centric view. Any generator can launch any compiler (any build step) as part of the build process. They're orthogonal concepts. Now there is the special case of Visual Studio, where the build system, the project manager and the compiler are so tied together that it makes it really hard to use the VS build system to compile using any other compiler, and vice-versa. Which is why it is mentioned in the generator documentation. I do agree, however, that cmake documentation could largely be improved. Good news is that this is actually happening (documentation was far worse several years ago, and gets better with every release). Regards, Julien
