| 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. | |
