Hello,
Has anyone thought about the possibility of adding return values from CMake
functions? This would be a very useful language feature that the Trilinos
CMake files would use everywhere.

checking. For

approach it can be a fairly short variable and not something like
CXX_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG which begs to have typos in it :-)
The suggestion I had was to use the ${SOMETHING(...)} syntax to invoke a
function
