FYI, the attached CMakeLists.txt examines a variable's value in 5 cases:
NONEXIST: No value in current scope or in cache.
SCOPEONLY: Value in current scope, no value in cache.
CACHEONLY: No value in current scope, value in cache.
BOTHEQUAL: The same value in current scope and cache.
BOTHUNEQUAL: Different values in current scope and cache.
The findings are:
NOT STREQUAL, NONEXIST[SCOPE]=, NONEXIST[CACHE]=
STREQUAL, SCOPEONLY[SCOPE]=xyz, SCOPEONLY[CACHE]=
STREQUAL, CACHEONLY[SCOPE]=xyz, CACHEONLY[CACHE]=xyz
STREQUAL, BOTHEQUAL[SCOPE]=xyz, BOTHEQUAL[CACHE]=xyz
STREQUAL, BOTHUNEQUAL[SCOPE]=xyz, BOTHUNEQUAL[CACHE]=abc
AFAICS, this is exactly what one would expect, i.e. STREQUAL refers to
the variable's value in the current scope and uses the cached value as
fallback - in CACHEONLY - if the variable has no current-scope value.
This is with CMake 2.8.6; do you gain different results?
