True. Must admit my objection_meter goes down now that the reserved words are much shorter. > The PARENT_SCOPE maybe needed as well. Why? If you have local and global variables in the same scope, you can set a global variable to the value of a local variable. You don't need a PARENT_SCOPE keyword, and you don't need a CACHE keyword. I think those keywords are a bad idea as far as making CMake scripting more likeable. > local(scope_name var1 var2 ... varN) > > endlocal(scope_name) That would solve some retyping problems. It's also consistent with CMake scripting style elsewhere. I can live with this.
