Summary

0013293: INTERNAL: Cache value overwritten without a FORCE option set.

Description

On INTERNAL type, the cache value is overwritten without a FORCE option set.

Steps To Reproduce

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.8)

#
# From CMake 2.8.8 documentation:
#
# If <type> is INTERNAL, then the <value> is always written into the cache, replacing any values
# existing in the cache. If it is not a cache variable, then this always writes into the current
# makefile. The FORCE option will overwrite the cache value removing any changes by the user.
#

project(testSetInternal)

message(STATUS "0-Foo:${Foo}")
set(Foo TrueFoo CACHE STRING "Foo value" FORCE)
message(STATUS "1-Foo:${Foo}")
set(Foo Foo CACHE STRING "Foo value")
message(STATUS "2-Foo:${Foo}")

message(STATUS "0-Bar:${Bar}")
set(Bar TrueBar CACHE INTERNAL "Bar value" FORCE)
message(STATUS "1-Bar:${Bar}")
set(Bar Bar CACHE INTERNAL "Bar value")
message(STATUS "2-Bar:${Bar}")

Notes
(0029664) Brad King (manager) 2012-06-12 08:08	How is this a bug? The documentation you quote explains exactly the behavior you report. This is by design and has always been the case since CMake started. INTERNAL entries are not available for the user to edit in the GUI so there is no need to preserve user-set values. Please post to the mailing list instead of the issue tracker if you have further questions.
