list — CMake 3.23.0-rc4 Documentation
cmake.org › cmake › helpA list in cmake is a ; separated group of strings. To create a list the set command can be used. For example, set (var a b c d e) creates a list with a;b;c;d;e, and set (var "a b c d e") creates a string or a list with one item in it. (Note macro arguments are not variables, and therefore cannot be used in LIST commands.)
cmake Tutorial => Strings and Lists
riptutorial.com › cmake › exampleIt's important to know how CMake distinguishes between lists and plain strings. When you write: set (VAR "a b c") you create a string with the value "a b c". But when you write this line without quotes: set (VAR a b c) You create a list of three items instead: "a", "b" and "c". Non-list variables are actually lists too (of a single element).

And since everything in CMake is a string, this means that a list is a semicolon-separated sequence of strings, making itself a string. Because who needs a type system, right? This may also be true the other way around – a string may be a list, but isn’t necessarily one.

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/list.htmlNote. When specifying index values, if <element index> is 0 or greater, it is indexed from the beginning of the list, with 0 representing the first list element. If <element index> is -1 or lesser, it is indexed from the end of the list, with -1 representing the last list element. Be careful when counting with negative indices: they do not start from 0. -0 is equivalent to 0, the first list elem
