get_cmake_property is get_property with the GLOBAL scope, except that it looks like the special VARIABLES, MACROS, and COMPONENTS properties are hard-coded into get_cmake_property incorrectly. This should all be moved over to cmState::GetGlobalProperty and the new TARGETS property added there. That method already has special handling for a few other properties too. Also the documentation of get_cmake_property should be updated to mention "global" properties. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
