| CMAKE_<LANG>_SIMULATE_ID | |
| ------------------------ | |
| Identification string of the "simulated" compiler. | |
| Some compilers simulate other compilers to serve as drop-in | |
| replacements. When CMake detects such a compiler it sets this | |
| variable to what would have been the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID` for | |
| the simulated compiler. | |
| .. note:: | |
| In other words, this variable describes the ABI compatibility | |
| of the generated code. |
