There are links to the "well known by CMake" properties that exist on various<br>
entities: global, directories, targets, tests, files, cache variables.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
I have not overlooked the description for them.<br>
<br>
I guess that these properties were extended during CMake history. I do not want to convert this part of the documentation into a separate data base for the support of enhanced queries. I would appreciate if the CMake programming interface can provide sophisticated introspection capabilities directly.<div class="im">

However, the property mechanism allows project-specific extension of the set of<br>
properties on many of these entities. So these lists are incomplete.<br>

How can such extensions be dynamically listed?</blockquote><div><br>At present, they cannot be dynamically listed. Having that capability would be a good idea, but it's not there yet.<br><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Is there a concrete problem you are trying to solve by asking these questions?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Yes, of course. - My feature request is mostly for debugging purposes.<br>
<br>
If there are problems or unexpected results for a target, I would like to know exactly which variables and properties were active in the affected situation.<br></blockquote><div><br>OK, great. Let us know if you do run into something specific. Lots of people here already have techniques that they use to solve specific problems......<br>
