[CMake] Scope of a macro

[Robert Dailey]

I'm not doing that at all. Apologies for lack of detail.

For example, I will have the following:

foo/bar/CMakeLists.txt

This file has the macro definition in it.

Now in:
foo/baz/something/CMakeLists.txt

I'm able to call the macro defined in the first CMakeLists.txt file. The
only connection between all of these CMakeLists.txt files are
add_subdirectory() commands. How can I figure out where the macro is coming
from? I'm not sure how CMake is finding it.
