Summary0014335: CMake does not error on duplicate else()
DescriptionThis should definitely give a syntax error as a stray else() also does:

if (foo)
   message(STATUS foo)
else ()
   message(STATUS not foo)
else ()
   message(STATUS funky)
endif ()

I would like to fix that issue, and displaying error message while double else() is used in the same condition.

Do you know where I could find source code which is parsing such conditions?

I haven't checked in detail but the fix may need to be somewhere near here:

 https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmIfCommand.cxx;hb=v3.4.3#l35 [^]

That function is essentially recording the contents of the if() block until the matching endif().

Might a bit off topic, but I'd like to have also the following be fixed (no such thing as `elif`):

$ cat CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)

if (foo)
  message(STATUS foo)
elif (TRUE)
  message(STATUS not foo)
endif ()
