SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(file PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS
"-DBLAH -DBLLAH -DBLLAAHH")
is a very common form that will be used heavily by people in CMake 2.3
onwards. Anybody who has to do lotsa trivial combos of libraries will
be doing it; for instance, shared vs. static libraries, and debug vs.
release libraries. The quotes around the flags are necessary because
items in a PROPERTIES list have to come in pairs. I humbly submit that
the following syntax would be of great use to people:
SET_COMPILE_FLAGS(file -DBLAH -DBLLAH -DBLLAAHH)
so that they don't have to be "quote paranoid" about everything, and
also have less to type. I would have created a macro for this, but my 5
minute perusal of the docs did not yield a painless way to manipulate
ARGV. On the positive side, at least I finally understood at an
intuitive level what Scheme's CAR and CDR are for. (It's so you can
knock the front off the arguments.)
Cheers,
Brandon Van Every
