Probably related:
I also found the following sequence completely crashes cmake-gui.exe.

add_custom_target(${_name}_cppcheck)
    
set_target_properties(${_name}_cppcheck PROPERTIES
    COMPILE_DEFINITIONS $<TARGET_PROPERTY:${_name},COMPILE_DEFINITIONS>)

add_custom_command(TARGET ${_name}_cppcheck PRE_BUILD
    COMMAND "${CPPCHECK_EXECUTABLE}"
    $<TARGET_PROPERTY:COMPILE_DEFINITIONS>
    ${CPPCHECK_TEMPLATE_ARG}
    ${_cppcheck_args}
    ${_files}
    WORKING_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}")

Basically I'm trying to create cppcheck targets for my cxx targets.
This requires using the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES properties of the original CXX target in the construction of cppcheck command lines.

Thanks for reporting. The first issue you raised was fixed as a side-effect of another commit. I added a test for the issue:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=08bd86b85fb657a7e70b4147ebe0e14d9d825c22 [^]

The second issue you raise is separate, and a bug in the code. I've fixed it here:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=e767ffcda58ab73cf2c4394202eec7ae1f6035b5 [^]

Unfortunately, the error message does not appear to the user. The error reporting code is correct, but cmTargetTraceDependencies::CheckCustomCommand calls cmCompiledGeneratorExpression::Evaluate with quiet=true. Brad, any idea why it does that?

Thanks,

Steve.
