Correct. It's just to allow the directory-level INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
specification to be target-level.
Nevertheless, did you already think about how the interface for such a feature
could look like (to make sure it fits with this new target property) ?
Maybe something like this ?
set_target_properties(... PROPERTIES
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES a/ b/ c/
PUBLIC_BUILD_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES d/ e/ f/
PUBLIC_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES g/ h/ i/ )
It would have to be possible to separate between include dirs to be used at
build time of the library, and include dirs to be used once the library has
been installed (similar to the build and install RPATH)
...just to make sure the syntax for the new INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property is ok
and doesn't make problems later on.
I think it could work the same way as linking versus LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES.
Anyway, this is not a design goal for the current work and the current work's
interface is a natural extension of what is there already.
