Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out a way to escape the special keywords that are
used to introduce named options in function arguments (see
CMakeParseArguments [1]), for example to pass the string
RESULT_VARIABLE as argument to a command executed via
execute_process():
set(what "RESULT_VARIABLE")
execute_process(COMMAND echo ${what})
Example result:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2 (execute_process):
execute_process called with no value for RESULT_VARIABLE.
The documentation doesn't seem to mention anything, nor did I see a
solution for this in CMakeParseArguments.cmake. Is there a way to do
that, or do I have to just accept that some argument values will crash
CMake? That would be a bummer.
I'd appreciate any pointers,
