What's the purpose ?
CMake is kind-of going OO.
Meaning *what*, exactly?
Do you mean that....
a) say FILE( READ ... )
will change to:
File.read() or x.read() where x is a file object?
and LIST( APPEND ... )
will be just a.append(x) or a += x
b) you'll be able to do:
class A
attr_accessor :x
def f( x )
@x = x + 5
end
end
class B < A
def t(); end
end
a = A.new
a.x
a.f
a.x = 5
b = B.new
b.x
b.f
b.t
c) you'll have 'virtual' macros?
class A
def f( x ); end
end
class B < A
def f( x )
super
end
end
a = A.new
b = B.new
b.f(1) # calls B::f, which in turn can call A::f, too.
a.f(1) # calls A::f
d) ...other...
I consider a) to c) the cornerstone of OO. b and c cannot be done in
cmake. a) can (only partially) be done and with an uglier syntax.
