The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== https://cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=15955 ====================================================================== Reported By: Haju Schulz Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15955 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2016-02-05 01:58 EST Last Modified: 2016-02-05 01:58 EST ====================================================================== Summary: CMAKE-GUI creates varies with trailing blanks Description: The cmake-gui dialog to add a variable includes trailing blanks into a variable name. This can lead to a variety of issues later during configure an build step because nothing visualizes such trailing blanks.
In my case I copied cmake project setup instructions from a website. This copy&paste operation resulted in the following name inside the cmake-gui: "BOOST_ROOT ". Mind the blank after "..ROOT" ! It took a long time to figure out why configuring this project failed to find BOOS as nothing in the gui shows this trailing blank. To make things worse, the cmake-gui remembers that a user has added "BOOST_ROOT " variable, and keeps offering this as auto-complete name in new project setup attempts. Steps to Reproduce: 1) create a new crake-project with make-gui 2) click "+ add entry" 3) Enter (without the "-Quotes) this as name: "NAME_WITH_SPACE " 4) press OK The cmake-gui shows a variable with "NAME_WITH_SPACE", but internally it is "NAME_WITH_SPACE " ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2016-02-05 01:58 Haju Schulz New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
