The default build type is None, which means CMAKE_C(XX)_FLAGS is used (see /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/CMakeCInformation.cmake:117), whose value is taken from the environment C(XX)FLAGS (see /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/CMakeCXXInformation.cmake:198). So yes, not setting CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE will simply use the build flags from C(XX)FLAGS. If you want to test yourself, run cmake with the -LAH flag and check the output for CMAKE_C(XX)_FLAGS.

Some projects seems to default to Debug instead of None… So should we
specify a BUILD_TYPE of None instead of Release?
