| Disclaimer: Most native build tools have poor support for escaping |
| certain values. CMake has work-arounds for many cases but some values |
| may just not be possible to pass correctly. If a value does not seem |
| to be escaped correctly, do not attempt to work-around the problem by |
| adding escape sequences to the value. Your work-around may break in a |
| future version of CMake that has improved escape support. Instead |
| consider defining the macro in a (configured) header file. Then |
| report the limitation. Known limitations include:: |
| |
| # - broken almost everywhere |
| ; - broken in VS IDE 7.0 and Borland Makefiles |
| , - broken in VS IDE |
| % - broken in some cases in NMake |
| & | - broken in some cases on MinGW |
| ^ < > \" - broken in most Make tools on Windows |
| |
| CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work in |
| some cases. Use with caution. |
