The problem is that most traced statements have an extra space added at the end of the traced statements. So, for example, "set(MSVC11 1)" is outputted in the trace file as "set(MSVC11 1 )" (note the extra space before the closing parenthesis). This is true for every statement except for the "else()" statement, which does not add the extra space.

The reason why this issue should be fixed is because on several occasions I have copied the traced statement and attempted to search for the statement using a text editor. The search will always fail because of the added space. In any case, it is proper for the exact trace statement to be outputted, not a modified version.
Steps To ReproduceRun any CMake build, specifying the "--trace" option on the command line.
Additional InformationThe only statement that does not add an undesired space is the "else()" statement.
