Hi,
Command file(GLOB) returns a CMake list (in a CMake list, items are separated
by ;)
Now you pass to command string the content of the list, so the list is
expanded: in your example,
string(REGEX REPLACE "foo.*cc" " " COMPILE_ONLY ${ALL_SOURCES})
Is equivalent to:
string(REGEX REPLACE "foo.*cc" " " COMPILE_ONLY a.cc b.cc foo_u.cc foo_v.cc
c.cc y.cc)
So, command string will concatenate all the input strings in a single string.
To keep semi colons, you have to pass ALL_SOURCES as a string, not a list:
string(REGEX REPLACE "foo.*cc" " " COMPILE_ONLY “${ALL_SOURCES}")
