[cmake-developers] cmake-file-api and CTest

Hi! I am trying to cook a CTest back-end to the Test Explorer UI extension for VS Code as a summer project and I thought of using the new cmake-file-api for it. The docs however are understandably scarce and I could not muster how to obtain tests and not targets. Is it possible with this

[cmake-developers] Custom script invocation from imported target

Hi! I am trying to improve the developer experience of SYCL users for both those using triSYCL and ComputeCpp alike. (TL;DR: SYCL is CUDA of OpenCL, triSYCL being a non-conforming playground implementation built atop OpenMP, while ComputeCpp is the first (and only) conforming GPU-accelerated

You’re doing it all wrong. You do not name source files as make targets, but the target name (or project name, I have no idea, because it rarely makes sense to name them differently). Try simply “foo” or “custom-command-target”. You would never say “make foo.cpp”, not even in an ordinary GNU

Re: [CMake] Visual Studio Project System Extensibilty
