Summary

0012429: Targets cannot be created in an arbitrary scope

Description

In certain scenarios I would have found useful to have the ability put a custom command or target should appear into a parent scope.

Unfortunately there seems to be no way to do this, short of abusing the binary_dir argument to add_subdirectory and setting CMP0013 to OLD.

I've attached a project that demonstrates how to abuse add_subdirectory to do this. I would like to know how good this technique is and whether it can break in certain situations or with certain generators.

Otherwise, what would be the best way to support this feature?

Notes
(0030299) David Cole (manager) 2012-08-11 11:38	Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog. (The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...) If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^] It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
