Bug 0003844 references this bug. It is a central command line parsing framework request.

I'll take this. The patch looks good, but needs a change to insert the arguments from the file into the argument list where the @ was, not at the end. I'll fix it up for 2.8.4.

This caused massive failures with the visual studio nmake generators. If you want this feature included in CMake, please rework so that it will work with VS nmake. Much work is required (see bug 3844.).

We will not be adding @ response file syntax to the CMake command line any time in the near future.

If the problem is "too many -D arguments when calling CMake to configure" then please consider using an initial cache setting file with the -C argument instead.

That should be a sufficient workaround.

Please re-open the issue for further discussion if you strongly disagree with this assessment.
