Can you condense this into a compact example? Last time I checked, the
variables defined at function definition time are not preserved:
<begin cmake snippet>
set( global_var "foo")
set( global_cache_var "foo" CACHE STRING "undocumented")
function(testclosure)
message("global_var is ${global_var}")
message("global_cache_var is ${global_cache_var}")
endfunction()
set( global_var "bar")
set( global_cache_var "bar" )
testclosure()
<end cmake snippet>
yields:
global_var is bar
global_cache_var is bar
Kind regards,
Johannes
