Can I substitute variables in a project file?

[alexchen]

Can I use the same workspace and project files to build the code with different compiler configurations by substituting variables with macros?
For instance, say, I have a workspace, Prog.workspace, that includes a project, A.cbp, and I want to use this to build with normal release build and with Clang address sanitizer.
The file A.cbp, will look like the following.  Can I make the compiler/linker settings for address sanitizer a variable and set them from some kind of variable that can controlled from the workspace?

Thanks for any help.

No, compilers can not be replaced with variables...

I see two options you can do:
1) Create targets for every compiler in every project (you probably could use scripting to automate this)
2) Use the project options manipulator plugin to replace the compiler every time you want to switch the compiler in every project (probably the easiest and fastest way) The plugin can be started from the plugins menu if you have installed contrib plugins

[edit:]
If you want to add speciffic flags for every compiler number 1) would be the easiest. You probably could also add some wired squirrel script to switch flags according to the selected compiler for number 2)

Thanks for the tips.
