[CMake] VisualStudio debug command

[David Cole]

 From a "Visual Studio Command Prompt" type "devenv /?"...

You should be able to use a command line like this to invoke the 
debugger on a given exe with a given command line:
"C:\full\path\to\devenv" "C:\full\path\to\your.exe" /run /debugexe arg1 
arg2 arg3

The problem is, if you specify a .exe like this, it prompts you to save 
a "wrapper sln" file next to the exe the first time you do it. Then you 
can specify that wrapper .sln file on subsequent runs...

Play around with it. I'm sure there's *almost* a way to do what you 
want... :-)

Hope this helps,
David
