I don't get how come the macro works because
`target_compile_definitions` needs at least 3 parameters. The second one
must be PRIVATE|PUBLIC|INTERFACE.

I would like to use set target properties from within a function. ie
function(MINE TGT DEF)
target_compile_definitions("${TGT}" "${DEF}")
endfunction(MINE TGT DEF)
This doesn't work. If I change it to a macro, it does.
macro(MINE TGT DEF)
target_compile_definitions("${TGT}" "${DEF}")
endmacro(MINE TGT DEF)
Is there a way to extend the scope of TGT in the function so that
the function variant works?
Good catch.
Actually, I have the (usually PRIVATE) part as the beginning of ${DEF}.
To clarify, this is a question about scoping. If the command in the
function was a "set" I could do
set("${TGT}" "${DEF}" PARENT_SCOPE)
In my example, what I want to do is set the target_compile_definitions
of the name "${TGT}". A function is preferable to a macro so I can
avoid namespace collisions.
This is not all that this function does of course, or I would just call
target_compile_definitions directly, but I cut out the other stuff to
simplify the example.
Upon further thought, perhaps you are on to something, let me do some
testing.
In the meantime, any more thoughts would be appreciated.
