I just upgraded from cmake-2.8.11.2 to 2.8.12 and now get errors
when a
comma ',' appears in a linker flag.  Test case below.  Note that
this is
but one of many reasons for a comma to appear in linker flags.

...
Remember that the way to avoid bugs like this in the release is to
test a
release candidate.

Nice to see that you've added something to the test suite to prevent this same problem from being re-introduced during future development. :-)

One question about the test, though: are those linker flags simply ignored by non-gcc compilers? I don't see anything in the CMakeLists file for the test that determines whether the linker interprets -Wl,--start-group etc. properly...?


Thx,
D
