Summary0002360: Support for new source file extensions
DescriptionIt's not possible to add new source file extensions through CMAKE_CXX_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS

What I'd like to do is something like this
SET(CMAKE_CXX_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS
  ${CMAKE_CXX_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS} xy)
so that cmake com recognize "xy" as source file that can be compiled

I need this too. We tried to use cmake to build a customer's code, and we had to add ".CPP" as an extension for C++. Setting the CMAKE_CXX_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS variable didn't work (it's evaluated too early, as issue 4242 mentionned). The workaround we found was to do SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES( ${SOURCES} PROPERTIES LANGUAGE CXX ) in every cmakelist.txt, but that's a bit too much trouble (and certainly it was a waste of time finding out why setting the variable didn't work).
