How about:# Each variable can have a registered filter name - packages/programs/libraries would use their name cmake_autoheader_add_variable(has_some_other_package, filter_name) # user controls what the output file is # User can generate a C #define method (default method if no language is specified) cmake_autoheader(C, path/to/cmake/autoheader_output.h [filter_name_list]) # User can generate a C++ const methods cmake_autoheader(CXX, path/to/cmake/autoheader_output.hpp [filter_name_list]) - if filter name list is not provided, all entries are entered into the header file - if filter is list is provided: - if name listed and is preceeded by an exclamation (!) then that name is not entered - if name is listed then it is entered - if name is not listed, then it is not entered Likely it would be good to have a parameter that would specify the default behavior of the filter list - enter or not enter - for names not listed. I think a default of 'not enter' would be good if the list is being provided, and this could be overridden and then the list becomes a 'not enter' list. So: # package defines its own automatically find_package(some package) if (some_package_found) -> cmake_autoheader_add_variable(has_some_package, some_package) ... # user can add it too cmake_autoheader_add_variable(has_some_other_package, some_other_package) # user controls what the output file is # User can generate a C #define method (default method if no language is specified) cmake_autoheader(C, path/to/cmake/autoheader_output.h some_other_package) # User can generate a C++ const methods cmake_autoheader(CXX, path/to/cmake/autoheader_output.hpp some_package) just another 2 cents...
I am not sure where things would be stored in this API? Seems to global Maybe the autoheader should be some sort of target... cmake_add_autoheader(C /path/to/cmake/autoheader_output.h) cmake_add_autoheader_variable(/path/to/cmake/autoheader_output.h VAR) -Bill _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
