# General function to create FlatBuffer build rules for the given list of
# schemas.
#
# flatbuffers_schemas: A list of flatbuffer schema files to process.
#
# schema_include_dirs: A list of schema file include directories, which will be
# passed to flatc via the -I parameter.
#
# custom_target_name: The generated files will be added as dependencies for a
# new custom target with this name. You should add that target as a dependency
# for your main target to ensure these files are built. You can also retrieve
# various properties from this target, such as GENERATED_INCLUDES_DIR,
# BINARY_SCHEMAS_DIR, and COPY_TEXT_SCHEMAS_DIR.
#
# additional_dependencies: A list of additional dependencies that you'd like
# all generated files to depend on. Pass in a blank string if you have none.
#
# generated_includes_dir: Where to generate the C++ header files for these
# schemas. The generated includes directory will automatically be added to
# CMake's include directories, and will be where generated header files are
# placed. This parameter is optional; pass in empty string if you don't want to
# generate include files for these schemas.
#
# binary_schemas_dir: If you specify an optional binary schema directory, binary
# schemas will be generated for these schemas as well, and placed into the given
# directory.
#
# copy_text_schemas_dir: If you want all text schemas (including schemas from
# all schema include directories) copied into a directory (for example, if you
# need them within your project to build JSON files), you can specify that
# folder here. All text schemas will be copied to that folder.
#
# IMPORTANT: Make sure you quote all list arguments you pass to this function!
# Otherwise CMake will only pass in the first element.
# Example: build_flatbuffers("${fb_files}" "${include_dirs}" target_name ...)
