I second this. The intent of the patch is to address an issue that is only present when using a practice explicitly not recommended in CMake documentation: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/command/file.html Note: We do not recommend using GLOB to collect a list of source files from your source tree. If no CMakeLists.txt file changes when a source is added or removed then the generated build system cannot know when to ask CMake to regenerate.
