Summary0014287: CTest options should be cumulative
DescriptionWriting a commandline like "ctest -R (foo|bar)" requires quoting of the regex e.g. with bash as bash tries to interpret (|) itself. Also if the number of expressions grows those regexes become clumsy.

It would be very nice if the same could be achieved by simply calling ctest -R foo -R bar. The same probably applies to -L, -LE, -E, -I, and maybe also -A.

For the moment it would be at least helpful to warn if any of these is used multiple times so it is obvious why it doesn't work.

Agreed. That would be helpful.

You can use (single|double) quotes, to stop bash from interpreting the pipe symbol.

  $ ctest -R 'foo|bar'

will do the trick.
