What I would like to see at a minimum is a CMake Debugger showing a
window with the list of variables, not just the ones in the name/values
dialog in the GUI, that an be searched when say CMake Errors out and
dumps an error to the output text field in the GUI. This way I could
see what all the variables are in the active cmake file being parsed
without having to message them to the screen.
just going though the messages and found this recently.
cmake --trace might be helpful to you. I have been thinking it might
be cool to also show the value of any variable referenced on a line
during the trace. --trace-show-vars or something like that. I don't
have time to work on it, but it should be pretty easy to do if someone
wanted to create a patch.
