发现问题:添加自定义构建和自定义配置之间存在混淆:

Found the problem : there is a confusion between adding custom builds and custom configurations :

• 配置适用于 Visual Studio 或 XCode 等特殊工具
• 构建类型是一个更原始的功能

• configurations are for special tools like Visual Studio or XCode
• build types are a much rawer feature

所以要添加自定义构建类型，根本不需要操作 CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES 变量.只需设置相应的变量并开始使用它，如 解释 :

So to add a custom build type, there is no need to manipulate the CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES variable at all. Just set the corresponding variables and start using it, as explained :

SET(GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS "-g -Wall")

# Add new build types
message("* Adding build types...")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_COVERAGE
    "${GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS} -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
    CACHE STRING "Flags used by the C++ compiler during coverage builds."
    FORCE )
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_COVERAGE
    "${GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS} -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
    CACHE STRING "Flags used by the C compiler during coverage builds."
    FORCE )
SET(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_COVERAGE
    ""
    CACHE STRING "Flags used for linking binaries during coverage builds."
    FORCE )
SET(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_COVERAGE
    ""
    CACHE STRING "Flags used by the shared libraries linker during coverage builds."
    FORCE )
MARK_AS_ADVANCED(
    CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_COVERAGE
    CMAKE_C_FLAGS_COVERAGE
    CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_COVERAGE
    CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS_COVERAGE )

我们可能还想更新帮助字符串(以及 顺便设置默认构建类型):

We may also want to udate the help string (along with setting the default build type by the way) :

IF(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
   SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug
       CACHE STRING "Choose the type of build : None Debug Release RelWithDebInfo MinSizeRel Coverage."
       FORCE)
ENDIF(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
message("* Current build type is : ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}")

关于尝试从另一个构建类型继承默认选项的警告:

A bit of warning about trying to inherit default options from another build type doing this :

SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_COVERAGE
    "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG} -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
    CACHE STRING "Flags used by the C++ compiler during coverage builds."
    FORCE )

这是一个糟糕的想法，因为每次再次获取配置(每次更改其中的内容时)都会附加额外的选项.

This is a bad idea because the extra options keep being appended every time the config is sourced again (every time you change something in it).
