Subject: cmake: honor custom `CMAKE_UNITY_BUILD_BATCH_SIZE`
X-Git-Tag: curl-8_10_0~167
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a62e3be67d3a4c787b3180faa63538f31d05226b;p=thirdparty%2Fcurl.git

cmake: honor custom `CMAKE_UNITY_BUILD_BATCH_SIZE`

This value tells how many sources files to bundle in a single "unity"
compilation unit.

The CMake default is 8 sources, curl's CMake set this to 0, meaning
to bundle all sources into a single unit.

This patch makes it possible to override the 0 value, and potentially
optimize the build process further by better utilizing multiple cores
in conjunction with `make -jN`.

The number of sources in lib is 172 at the time of writing this. For
a 12-core CPU, this can give a job for them all:
`-DCMAKE_UNITY_BUILD_BATCH_SIZE=15`

(Compile time may be affected by a bunch of other factors.)

Closes #14626
