CMake Cookbook

There is more

It is possible to nest function calls in macros and macro calls in functions, but we need to carefully consider the scope of the variables. If a feature can be implemented using a function, then this is probably preferable to a macro since it gives more default control over the parent scope state.

We should also mention the use of CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR_IN_INTERFACE in src/CMakeLists.txt:

set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR_IN_INTERFACE ON)

This command adds the current directory to the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property for all targets defined in this CMakeLists.txt file. In other words, we did not have to use target_include_directories to indicate the header file location for cpp_test.
