I'd say that this would be better handled by a test property that marks tests as `CONCURRENT_WITH_SELF` (feel free to bikeshed on the name). Many tests which use resources (primarily writing to paths on the filesystem) are not parameterized over the invokation number of the run. --Ben -- 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.
