| Summary | 0002036: Relative path interpretation of command arguments | ||||||||
| Description | Currently very few commands properly interpret relative paths given to their arguments. We need to define a consistent translation mechanism. Commands should document for each argument whether a relative path will be interpreted relative to the source or binary tree location. Then the command should implement translation of the argument through a single mechanism like m_Makefile->GetFullPathFromSourceDir(...) or m_Makefile->GetFullPathFromBinaryDir(...). One example is CONFIGURE_FILE which should interpret its first argument relative to the source tree and its second argument relative to the binary tree. | ||||||||

I think this is implemented since at least cmake 2.4.2. Ok to close ? |

It is still fixed only on a per-command basis: it may happen to be fixed for all commands right now but there is no way to stop new commands from doing it wrong accidentally. I created this bug report to remind us in the future to pass all command arguments that are paths through a central translation mechanism. No such mechanism has yet been created. |

Is this fixed now? |

No. There is centralized conversion of paths in the generators, but not in the command argument parsing. Basically in order to fix it we would have to write a command argument processing framework with types and all. |

In CMake 2.6 all commands deal with relative path arguments as expected. I no longer think a centralized mechanism is required to maintain this. |
