Summary

0013089: lists parsing is quite strange and not as documented

Description

Hi.

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/syntax.html [^]
tells that lists are set like:
set(VAR a;b;c)
or
set(VAR a b c)

However, when using string literals this doesn't work anymore, e.g.
1) List items separated by semicolons
set(foo "1 1";"2 2";"3 3")
message(${foo})
foreach(ff IN LISTS foo)
message("dd: ${ff}")
endforeach()

=> yields in:
1 1"2 2""3 3"
dd: 1 1
dd: "2 2"
dd: "3 3"

2) List items separated by spaces
set(foo "1 1" "2 2" "3 3")
message(${foo})
foreach(ff IN LISTS foo)
message("dd: ${ff}")
endforeach()

=> yields in:
1 12 23 3
dd: 1 1
dd: 2 2
dd: 3 3

(2) Is obviously what one would expect in both cases.

Cheers,
Chris.

Notes
(0029098) Brad King (manager) 2012-04-09 09:03	Issues 0013083, 0013089, 0013090, 0013091, 0013092, 0013109, and 0013111 are all interesting suggestions but the issue tracker is not a good place to discuss them. The user list is a better place for discussion because it may attract interest from others, and in particular from potential contributors. Others may also suggest alternative solutions.
