There are links to the "well known by CMake" properties that exist on various
entities: global, directories, targets, tests, files, cache variables.
I have not overlooked the description for them.
I guess that these properties were extended during CMake history. I do not want
to convert this part of the documentation into a separate data base for the
support of enhanced queries. I would appreciate if the CMake programming
interface can provide sophisticated introspection capabilities directly.
However, the property mechanism allows project-specific extension of the set of
properties on many of these entities. So these lists are incomplete.
How can such extensions be dynamically listed?
Is there a concrete problem you are trying to solve by asking these questions?
Yes, of course. - My feature request is mostly for debugging purposes.
If there are problems or unexpected results for a target, I would like to know
exactly which variables and properties were active in the affected situation.
Regards,
Markus
