True, if you mismatch the typing of varname it fails. At least with this approach it can be a fairly short variable and not something like CXX_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG which begs to have typos in it :-)
> The suggestion I had was to use the ${SOMETHING(...)} syntax to invoke a function call. So you would have: I don't think you need the ${} syntax. Such syntax could be used, but just SOMETHING(...) would work as well. I remembered that the CVS version of CMake has some parser changes already in it that allow for if (func()) to be parsed. It is mainly a matter of the argument expansion code being modified to actually call func when it sees it followed by a pair of parens. That and a bunch of changes to the signature of commands to allow for return values/debugging info/etc. That is the bigger task. I'm assuming it would be zero or more return values like lua, no reason to limit it to just zero or one like C.
