There was a problem hiding this comment.
naming seems kind of generic and not specific to cop-package
what current use cases don’t build?
for test target probably they should build?

@cjolivier01 yep, I kept the name generic deliberately, since if you do not need examples, probably you do not need them in all targets, so I hope the flag will be adopted as needed in other places. But if you think we need to make it more concrete, I'm okay with it.

Examples can consume several Gb after building. And also they consumes time to build. It make sense not to build them if there no explicit need.
for test target probably they should build?
Yes, you are right, I do need to refactor IF statement to reflect this.
Description
Not everyone need to build all the examples together with the cpp_package. Not building examples saves time and several Gig of data.
