Since d0170584c54b515b7eb2d044c3d48332523b3a37 there is a comment stating that "spaces, quotes, or other characters special in CMake syntax" are not allowed in a test name. This raised 2 topics:
-first: the only check done in add_test() is that the name is not empty. If there are forbidden characters we must test for them, reject everything that is invalid, and have a check that verifies that this works. I've been fooled at least twice myself when adding a test with a space in the name and then wondering why it didn't work. -second: what does "special" mean? I fear that any test name would end up as some sort of target name in Makefile/project files somewhere, in which case we are limited to the valid subset of all supported generators. Which can be something like [a-zA-Z0-9_] with special rules like "must not start/end with $something". And maybe even some case problems? So, who can shed some light on this? Brad? Eike
