The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS escaping disclaimer was represented in builtin documentation using a preprocessor macro. Factor the duplicate content out into a separate .txt file and include it in each document with the reStructuredText include directive.

Disclaimer: Most native build tools have poor support for escaping
|
|
certain values. CMake has work-arounds for many cases but some values
|
|
may just not be possible to pass correctly. If a value does not seem
|
|
to be escaped correctly, do not attempt to work-around the problem by
|
|
adding escape sequences to the value. Your work-around may break in a
|
|
future version of CMake that has improved escape support. Instead
|
|
consider defining the macro in a (configured) header file. Then
|
|
report the limitation. Known limitations include::
|
|
|
|
# - broken almost everywhere
|
|
; - broken in VS IDE 7.0 and Borland Makefiles
|
|
, - broken in VS IDE
|
|
% - broken in some cases in NMake
|
|
& | - broken in some cases on MinGW
|
|
^ < > \" - broken in most Make tools on Windows
|
|
|
|
CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work in
|
|
some cases. Use with caution.
