Summary

0000641: IF(variable) does not evaluate correctly for numerical values

Description

According to documentation IF should evalute to true for anything besides " True if the variable's value is not empty, 0, FALSE, OFF, or NOTFOUND". However the following code on cmake 1.8.3 Redhat 9
SET(VAR 3)
IF(${VAR})
MESSAGE("${VAR} is true")
ELSE(${VAR})
MESSAGE("${VAR} is false")
ENDIF(${VAR})
Outputs:
3 is false

(0000714) Johnny Lai (reporter) 2004-03-02 02:07	My mistake I should not add a ${} around the variables in an IF statement.
