The operator precedence in CMake can be surprising, so add parenthesis
to make in unambigious. Also, make it more explicit from which language
we get the default options. (They are all set from the settings given
for C++; why would have different optimization options for C and C++?)
Clang aims to be compatible with GCC when it comes to command-line
parameters. Where we enable functionality based on the presence of
a GCC-compiler, we can use the same functionality with Clang.
This patch introduces a new variable CXX_COMPAT_GCC which is true if
the compiler handles the same options as GCC, and this variable is
subsequently used in tests instead of CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX (which
remains if we need to test if we really have GCC, e.g. for version)
When using LTO, the linker calls back to the compiler to figure out
where a certain symbol is defined. However, in many versions there
is apparently a bug that is triggered if a template in inlined in
both a used library and in the main program, but with different
versions of the compiler. The Boost exception class is particular
prone for this.
Thus, we disable the -lto from the development builds by default;
if anyone wants to test of the behaviour of their own compiler, they
must now explicitly turn on this flag.
