Making `container node sizes` optional? about memory HOT 3 CLOSED

The header is no longer re-generated if it already exists. If someone wants to do more sophisticated guarding against CMake changes (I don't know whether it's necessary), feel free to do a PR.

If you want to disable the header entirely, it is enough to use CMake to create an empty file at that location.

Seconding this - I'm having the exact same issue. I don't know what might cause the size of nodes to change between builds, but it seems to me like get_container_node_sizes should be able to short circuit if outfile already exists? Maybe it needs to cache some settings values such that it can determine if the file needs to be regenerated? Depending on what exactly could cause the node size to change, it might be acceptable to just require that if the user needs to recalculate it, they need to do a clean build with new settings

That's great, thank you!
