[CMake] Why SET() not support regular expression ?

[Yang, Y.]

Hi, Alan

Thanks for your suggestion.But when using GLOB, the cmake would not update automatically.
So now, I think that the best way is added those files by myself.

Best regards

Yang

Search for the FILE(GLOB signature in the CMake documentation.
