Not yet. What changes would you like to make?
The CMake preprocessor tests do not really follow exactly the b2 preprocessor tests anymore. I will figure it out, but really docs are needed at sometime in the future regarding CMake with Boost CMake constructs. You did a great and laborious job so I do not mean to press you about this.
Ah, I see, you've been making changes to the tests. I believe that
https://github.com/boostorg/preprocessor/blob/develop/test/CMakeLists.txt
should be relatively straightforward to figure out, provided you are familiar with CMake. The full syntax of `boost_test` is
https://github.com/boostorg/cmake/blob/39443f18c03c4568fdf75bed3eaa802c26563...
boost_test( [TYPE type] [PREFIX prefix] [NAME name] [IGNORE_TEST_GLOBALS] SOURCES sources... ARGUMENTS args... LINK_LIBRARIES libs... COMPILE_DEFINITIONS defs... COMPILE_OPTIONS opts... COMPILE_FEATURES features... )
but I don't think you need anything besides COMPILE_DEFINITIONS. This for example
[ compile arithmetic.cpp : <define>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG=512 : arithmetic_num_512 ]
translates to
boost_test(TYPE compile NAME arithmetic_num_512 SOURCES arithmetic.cpp COMPILE_DEFINITIONS BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG=512)
I can figure that part of it out, but now the big question: What do I do to run the tests with CMake and where do I see the output to verify that any changes I make to the CMakeLists.txt in a test directory is correct ?
