Summary0012650: Support duplicate keyword value pairs in CMAKE_PARSE_ARGUMENTS
DescriptionBeing able to specify multiple times the same variable (here TARGETS) could be useful. I took the example from the doc:

  34 # function(MY_INSTALL)
  35 # set(options OPTIONAL FAST)
  36 # set(oneValueArgs DESTINATION RENAME)
  37 # set(multiValueArgs TARGETS CONFIGURATIONS)
  38 # cmake_parse_arguments(MY_INSTALL "${options}" "${oneValueArgs}" "${multiValueArgs}" ${ARGN} )
  39 # ...
  41 # Assume my_install() has been called like this:
  42 # my_install(TARGETS foo DESTINATION bin OPTIONAL TARGETS bar)
  43 #
  44 # After the cmake_parse_arguments() call the macro will have set the following
  45 # variables:
  46 # MY_INSTALL_OPTIONAL = TRUE
  47 # MY_INSTALL_FAST = FALSE (this option was not used when calling my_install()
  48 # MY_INSTALL_DESTINATION = "bin"
  49 # MY_INSTALL_RENAME = "" (was not used)
  50 # MY_INSTALL_TARGETS = "foo;bar"
  51 # MY_INSTALL_CONFIGURATIONS = "" (was not used)
  52 # MY_INSTALL_UNPARSED_ARGUMENTS = ""
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationDoing so would allow nesting calls without parsing. Keeping the same example:

 function(MY_INSTALL_WITH_FRUIT_DEPENDENCY)
   my_install(TARGET banana apple ${ARGN} )
 end_function()

function(MY_INSTALL_WITH_PERSON_DEPENDENCY)
  my_install(TARGET john alice ${ARGN})
end_functions()

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.
