Re: [cmake-developers] Listing all targets (was: Wrapping functions in CMake)
You're welcome. The key to using it effectively, of course, is using it at the very bottom of the top level CMakeLists.txt file. It can only report on the targets defined so far, so if you put it in the middle somewhere, targets may be defined after you use it, and you'll miss them...

Re: [cmake-developers] Listing all targets (was: Wrapping functions in CMake)
I think the see also is relevant because it points to another way to get to a whole different set of properties. Perhaps what they're looking for when they stumble upon get_cmake_property is actually target properties, which are only accessible via get_property. While it's relevant, and I think it should remain, I do think it could use some clarification. I'll take a stab at this, and clarify the docs, too, unless somebody else chimes in and tells me wait! I'm doing it already :-) Cheers, David C.

get_cmake_property is more like strictly well-pre-defined, read only (ish), built-into CMake properties. Note there is no set_cmake_property... What docs are you looking at that you think have a bug...? To implement TARGETS for get_cmake_property, I would look to see what logic is used by if(TARGET and use the same list it uses as the value returned here. Should I work on a patch/branch, or is somebody here already working on it?
