Hi, today i ran into an error with escape characters in macros. Is this a known issue? Is this by design? How can I workaround?
Code: function(f STRING) message(STATUS ${STRING}) endfunction() macro(m STRING) message(STATUS ${STRING}) endmacro() set(CONTENT "bla bla \/\/") message(STATUS ${CONTENT}) f(${CONTENT}) m(${CONTENT}) Output: ramold@xxx MINGW64 /c/Program Files/CMake/cmake-3.13.4-win64-x64/bin $ ./cmake.exe -P test.cmake CMake Warning (dev) at test.cmake:9 (set): Syntax error in cmake code at C:/Program Files/CMake/cmake-3.13.4-win64-x64/bin/test.cmake:9 when parsing string bla bla \/\/ Invalid escape sequence \/ Policy CMP0010 is not set: Bad variable reference syntax is an error.
