target_clangformat_setup() usage in project with multiple targets about clangformat-cmake HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi wrightsg,

thank you for your input and sorry for my late response.

You are very right. The scenario you have described will break when PROJECT_NAME is used as a part of the target name and I was forced to workaround that by adding project() into the nested CMakeLists.txt in the example and that is definitely not the right way of doing things in CMake.

I could not adopt your solution as I wanted to preserve the possibility to just:

clangformat_setup(
  src/hello.cpp
  src/hello.hpp
)

But other than that, the current solution is quite similar to yours.

NOTE: The current solution is not working for alias targets anymore.
