add '/out' to ignore file for Visual Studio

[lukka]

Add "/out" to ignored directory for Visual Studio CMake configuration templates in CMakeSettings.json

Reasons for making this change:

Default build directory for CMake configuration of VS are going to use 'out' under of the opened folder

Links to documentation supporting these rule changes:

Doc will be released after the release of VS Preview.

@shiftkey any comment on this PR? thanks

[shiftkey]

@lukka my current thinking on this is that we should be using the CMake.gitignore template for any rule changes, rather than duplicating rules across templates.

[lukka]

@shiftkey I agree with you, however in this case the default output directory for binaries in the CMakeSettings.json file (consumed by Visual Studio, not by CMake) will contains a path like:

"buildRoot": "${projectDir}\\out\\build\\${name}"

hence it would be nice if the .gitignore for VS would already ignore it.

Any follow up please?

I wholeheartedly agree with this change. I just reported the issue, with my rationale, on devcomm here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1164532/the-cmake-project-template-puts-build-artifacts-in.html

The "out" directory used by VS for CMake projects is in line with many of the entries in this file. CMake.gitignore just lists a number of files used/generated by CMake. OTOH, this PR adds an entry to remove the entire VS-defined directory tree of build-generated files (generated by CMake, and by the build tools used under it).

Documentation supporting this pull request is out. See CMake projects in Visual Studio - IDE Integration.

Click the Show All Files button at the top of Solution Explorer to see all the CMake-generated output in the out/build/ folders.

Reconsider this PR. Alternatively, I created a new one that adds "out" to build results: #3540

Hey @lukka, considering my alternative PR (#3540) went in, would you be okay with closing this one?
