RunCMake already has tests of both types, so if we want to make such a distinction then a lot more work is needed. Using CMake_TEST_EXTERNAL_CMAKE we already have a few dashboards that run the CMake test suite using a different generator/compiler than was used to build CMake. The tests that are independent of the compiler/generator tend to be very small and very fast so it does not hurt to run them again. -Brad -- 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.
