Summary

0014035: list(LENGTH ...) stops counting on special entries

Description

If a list of single-quoted strings contains an entry with an opening angle bracket (ASCII 0x5b '[') the LENGTH sub-command stops counting entries following this bracket entry.

Example: list L: 'a';'b';'c[';'d';'e' => list(LENGTH L lenL) => lenL=3
but actually lenL=5

Steps To Reproduce

list(APPEND l 'a';'b';'c[';'d';'e')
list(LENGTH l llen)
message("len(l) = ${llen}, l = ${l}")

Additional Information

The list was created by parsing a file via
file(STRINGS "${myFile}" MY_LINES REGEX "^ some_regexp.*$")

MY_LINES contains all entries, one of it contains an opening angle bracket followed by a single quote.

This bug already occurs in CMake 2.8.2 which we actually use.

Notes
(0032684) Brad King (manager) 2013-03-22 08:04	List expansion is protected by [] because the find_* command syntax for windows registry entries has a semicolon inside [] and pre-dated lists. I'm resolving this as a duplicate of 0013806 because the underlying issue is the same.

(0034013) Robert Maynard (manager) 2013-10-07 10:04	Closing resolved issues that have not been updated in more than 4 months.
