Summary0007646: Percentage progress reporting for the "Build project" stage of CTest
DescriptionCurrently, if one runs 'make Experimental' on a project, cmake will be run, the project will be built and then the tests will be run. During the build phase, the output looks something like this:

Build project
   Each symbol represents 1024 bytes of output.
   '!' represents an error and '*' a warning.
    ..**.*.************..........................!!!!. Size: 50K
    !!!!!!...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...................... Size: 100K
    ....!!............................................ Size: 150K
    .................................................. Size: 200K
    .................................................. Size: 250K
    .................................................. Size: 300K
    .................................................. Size: 350K
    .................................................. Size: 400K
    .................................................. Size: 450K
    .......

Given that cmake provided percentage progress reporting during a normal 'make' command, would it not be possible to provide a percentage progress report during the build phase of the test run too?

It is not that easy. cmake only has progress when using makefiles, with VS IDE, or Xcode, it does not. Also, ctest and cmake are not running during the build, so ctest would have to parse the stdout of the build and extract the progress, and it would only work for makefile type builds.
