It is tempting to use this command to avoid writing the list of source files for a library or executable target. While this seems to work, there is no way for CMake to generate a build system that knows when a new source file has been added.

When the source is just added to the directory without modifying this file, one would have to manually rerun CMake to generate a build system incorporating the new file. |
