Options specified via `COMPILE_OPTIONS` and `INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS`
are deduplicated, but individual options can legitimately be duplicated
when grouped with other options, e.g.
-D A -D B
After deduplication that becomes `-D A B`. Therefore we need a way to
treat groups of options as units during deduplication. A simple approach
is to specify each group as one option, e.g.
"-D A" "-D B"
However, that conflicts with options that legitimately have spaces. To
break this ambiguity, add a `SHELL:` prefix syntax to specify that an
option should be parsed like shell command line arguments after
deduplication, e.g.
"SHELL:-D A" "SHELL:-D B"
These will survive deduplication intact, and then be parsed to produce
`-D A -D B` on the final command line.

The final set of compile options used for a target is constructed by
|
|
accumulating options from the current target and the usage requirements of
|
|
it dependencies. The set of options is de-duplicated to avoid repetition.
|
|
While beneficial for individual options, the de-duplication step can break
|
|
up option groups. For example, ``-D A -D B`` becomes ``-D A B``. One may
|
|
specify a group of options using shell-like quoting along with a ``SHELL:``
|
|
prefix. The ``SHELL:`` prefix is dropped and the rest of the option string
|
|
is parsed using the :command:`separate_arguments` ``UNIX_COMMAND`` mode.
|
|
For example, ``"SHELL:-D A" "SHELL:-D B"`` becomes ``-D A -D B``.
