Summary0011022: VS7 .vcproj generator yields invalid, unloadable files: VS_SCC_PROJECTNAME has wrong unescaped conversion to SccProjectName
DescriptionWhile working with my vcproj2cmake.rb script ( http://sf.net/projects/vcproj2cmake/ [^] ), I noticed that the XML parsing of
Ruby returned a
"$/MyProj", xxxAAAAA
string for an original .vcproj content of
SccProjectName=""$/MyProj", xxxAAAAA"

I'd be tempted to say that Ruby's XML layer is correct, since it de-escapes
XML-escaped quotes as the raw content to return to the script.

Quite ok so far.

What is not ok then is that when getting this written (with proper backslash escapes of quotes!) in my converted CMakeLists.txt as

set_property(TARGET MyProj PROPERTY VS_SCC_PROJECTNAME "\"$/MyProj\", RSCAAAAA")
, after a _reverse_ conversion (heh :-)) it ends up as
SccProjectName=""$/MyProj", xxxAAAAA"
, leading quite obviously to a fatal "cannot load .vcproj" issue in VS2005
due to the duplicate quotes which should have been escaped in part.

It quite obviously seems like
Source/cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator.cxx
is missing an EscapeForXML() call for _at least_ SccProjectName,
but probably several additional .vcproj contents are waiting to be escaped properly, too.

Actually I'm sitting in a rather hard place now since I'm currently unsure how to work around this bug in my vcproj2cmake.rb converter; hopefully it's not too problematic to workaround after all....

Thanks,

Andreas Mohr
