I like that. Three questions: -why is a scopename required ? -will local variables be "inherited" to called macros ? -will they be "inherited" to included cmake files ? I.e. how will this behave: set(foo "foo") macro(m1) set(foo "bar") endmacro(m1) macro(m2) local(myscope foo) set(foo "localfoo") # global foo unchanged m1() # will m1 change the global foo or the local one from m1 ? endmacro(m2) Alex _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
