[CMake] Feature Request: FILE (GLOB files "*.c" EXCEPT main.c test.c)

[Alexandru Ciobanu]

Hi, Alex!

What I understood from you message is that:
    set ( src a1.c a2.c )
    add_executable ( cool ${src} )
*will* detect when a3.c is added. While, the following:
    FILE ( GLOB src *.c )
    add_executable ( cool ${src} )
*will not* detect the when a3.c is added.

Could you please elaborate on that?
