When evaluating :ref:`Variable References` of the form ``${VAR}``, CMake
|
||
|
|
first searches for a normal variable with that name. If no such normal
|
||
|
|
variable exists, CMake will then search for a cache entry with that name.
|
||
|
|
Because of this, **unsetting a normal variable can expose a cache variable
|
||
|
|
that was previously hidden**. To force a variable reference of the form
|
||
|
|
``${VAR}`` to return an empty string, use ``set(<variable> "")``, which
|
||
|
|
clears the normal variable but leaves it defined.
