Markus,<br><br>Please discuss things on the CMake mailing list and wait (sometimes a few days are necessary for a discussion to evolve and resolve itself into a conclusion) until there is a consensus about a course of action among the people discussing it on the mailing list before you bring things up in the CMake bug tracker.<br>
<br>The bug tracker is meant to help us track what bugs are going to be fixed in the upcoming releases of CMake. It is not good as a general discussion mechanism because only a handful of CMake developers actually peruse the new issues in there. Whereas hundreds (and even thousands) of people read the CMake mailing list regularly.<br>
<br>If there is a specific problem with CMake's actual functionality, then it belongs in the bug tracker as an issue.<br><br><br>Thanks for your help to make CMake better,<br><br>David Cole<br>Kitware, Inc.<br><br><br>

Here is the code:<br>

I have found and implemented a solution that can extract data from a header file with the "help" from evaluation of regular expressions.<br>
<br>
file(STRINGS "${CPPCHECK_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/library_version.h"<br>
CPPCHECK_BUILD_SPECIFICATION REGEX "^[ \t]*#define[ \t]+CPPCHECK_LIBRARY_VERSION_[A-Z]+[ \t]+[0-9]+.*$")<br>
<br>
if(CPPCHECK_BUILD_SPECIFICATION)<br>
message(STATUS "${CPPCHECK_BUILD_SPECIFICATION}")<br>
foreach(item IN ITEMS MAJOR MINOR PATCH)<br>
string(REGEX REPLACE ".*#define[ \t]+CPPCHECK_LIBRARY_VERSION_${item}[ \t]+([0-9]+).*"<br>
"\\1" XYZ ${CPPCHECK_BUILD_SPECIFICATION})<br>
set("CPPCHECK_BUILD_VERSION_${item}" ${XYZ} CACHE STRING "Version number for the build of the Cppcheck software")<br>
endforeach()<br>
else()<br>
message(FATAL_ERROR "Data were not found for the required build specification.")<br>
endif()<br>
<br>
<br>
How do you think about any optimisation opportunities like it is mentioned in the feature request "Directly reading data from a file into variables"?<br>
