Support executables with multiple architectures (e.g. macOS) #9894
Description
Type: Bug
macOS has the notion of "universal binary": https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/building-a-universal-macos-binary
A universal binary runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers, because it contains executable code for both architectures.
In CMake I can request to build an universal binary by e.g.
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES.html
if (APPLE)
if(AGENT_ARCHITECTURE MATCHES "universal")
set(AGENT_ARCHITECTURE "arm64;x86_64")
...
endif (APPLE)
...
if (APPLE)
set (CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "${AGENT_ARCHITECTURE}")
...And in CMakePresets.json:
"cacheVariables": {
"AGENT_ARCHITECTURE": {
"type": "STRING",
"value": "universal"
}
}Originally reported as part of: #9776
