This would require backtraces, I believe, on every property so you can trace all the properties back to where they’re defined. I need this too for Visual Studio to support adding files as well.
The problem right now is that backtraces are memory intensive. See this issue for a discussion about it: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17539 From: cmake-developers <cmake-developers-boun...@cmake.org> On Behalf Of Pawel Rutka Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 10:20 AM To: cmake-developers@cmake.org Subject: [cmake-developers] Cmake-server question I would like to ask about some important feature: Is there any possibility to provide form Cmake Server side location of command that generate the target? The Use Case is as follow: In IDE you want to, after Class creation, automatically add CPP file into proper add_executable or extend some variable passed to add_executable or any other case that lead to target creation. This mean that IDE would have to know place in CmakeLists.txt which command should extend with new path. Regards, Pawel
