DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS
This property specifies which Build Configurations are for debugging.
The value must be a semicolon-separated list of build configuration names. Currently this property is used only by the target_link_libraries() command. Additional uses may be defined in the future.
This property must be set at the top level of the project and before the first target_link_libraries() command invocation. If any entry in the list does not match a valid configuration for the project, the behavior is undefined.
By default, this property is not set.
Examples
The following example adds a custom configuration to non-optimized debug configurations while preserving any existing ones. If the project uses the default Debug configuration, it should be included as well.
set_property(GLOBAL APPEND PROPERTY DEBUG_CONFIGURATIONS Debug CustomBuild)
