Summary: add_custom_command: inconsistent treatment of
escaped quotes
Description:
I have an add_custom_command COMMAND line where I want to wrap several of the
strings in double quotes.
cmake src snippet:
add_custom_command(
TARGET ${target_name}
PRE_BUILD
COMMAND "\"$(DevEnvDir)tf\"" history "\"$(SolutionDir)\""
/stopafter:1 /recursive > changeset.dat
The generated vcxproj file looks as follows. Note that the escaped double quotes
made it through quite literally:
\"$(DevEnvDir)tf\" history "$(SolutionDir)" /stopafter:1 /recursive >
changeset.dat
The desired behavior is to have $(DevEnvDir)tf wrapped in double quotes like so:
"$(DevEnvDir)tf" history "$(SolutionDir)" /stopafter:1 /recursive >
changeset.dat
Why does escaping double quotes work for the second string in the line but not
the first? Should this be accomplished differently for the first string because
it's the actual command? If this is not a bug, what's the workaround?
