Yeah, a very good question. Especially since for somewhat older
(I assume that these already were a bit newer than the LOCATION deprecation
event though!)
CMake versions I have a need for the following conditional code
(or similar to it - not 100% sure whether LOCATION is the only way to handle
it):
# CMake add_test() has a plain signature and additionally a NAME/COMMAND
signature
# in newer versions.
# Since I somehow managed to completely miss this,
# I filed a CMake bug report (#12589).
# Let's thus use the newer signature whenever it's supported.
set(cmake_add_test_command_signature_supported_ false)
set(cmake_version_add_test_command_signature_not_supported_last "2.7.0") #
FIXME which version?
set(cmake_version_add_test_supports_command_signature_check
"${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_PATCH_VERSION}")
if("${cmake_version_add_test_supports_command_signature_check}" VERSION_GREATER
"${cmake_version_add_test_command_signature_not_supported_last}")
set(cmake_add_test_command_signature_supported_ true)
endif("${cmake_version_add_test_supports_command_signature_check}"
VERSION_GREATER
"${cmake_version_add_test_command_signature_not_supported_last}")
if(cmake_add_test_command_signature_supported_)
function(_ctest_add_test_sanitized _target)
set(testname_ "${_target}")
set(testexe_ "${_target}")
add_test(NAME "${testname_}" COMMAND "${testexe_}")
endfunction(_ctest_add_test_sanitized _target)
else(cmake_add_test_command_signature_supported_)
function(_ctest_add_test_sanitized _target)
set(testname_ "${_target}")
# Work around incapable add_test(), by using a property which
# is said to be ""deprecated""... (*** SIGH ***).
get_property(test_location_ TARGET "${_target}" PROPERTY LOCATION)
set(testexe_ "${test_location_}")
add_test("${testname_}" "${testexe_}")
endfunction(_ctest_add_test_sanitized _target)
endif(cmake_add_test_command_signature_supported_)
