# This file defines the following macro for developers needing to parse
# arguments passed to a CMake macro using names.
#
# PARSE_ARGUMENTS           - parse arguments supplied to a macro
#
# The PARSE_ARGUMENTS macro will take the arguments of another macro and define
# several variables. The first argument to PARSE_ARGUMENTS is a prefix to put 
# on all variables it creates. The second argument is a list of names, and the 
# third argument is a list of options. Both of these lists should be quoted. 
# The rest of PARSE_ARGUMENTS are arguments from another macro to be parsed.
#
#    PARSE_ARGUMENTS(prefix arg_names options arg1 arg2...) 
#
# For each item in options, PARSE_ARGUMENTS will create a variable with that 
# name, prefixed with prefix_. So, for example, if prefix is MY_MACRO and 
# options is OPTION1;OPTION2, then PARSE_ARGUMENTS will create the variables 
# MY_MACRO_OPTION1 and MY_MACRO_OPTION2. These variables will be set to true 
# if the option exists in the command line or false otherwise.
#
# For each item in arg_names, PARSE_ARGUMENTS will create a variable with that 
# name, prefixed with prefix_. Each variable will be filled with the arguments 
# that occur after the given arg_name is encountered up to the next arg_name 
# or the end of the arguments. All options are removed from these lists. 
# PARSE_ARGUMENTS also creates a prefix_DEFAULT_ARGS variable containing the 
# list of all arguments up to the first arg_name encountered.
#
# Here is a simple, albeit impractical, example of using PARSE_ARGUMENTS that 
# demonstrates its behavior.
#
# SET(arguments
#   hello OPTION3 world
#   LIST3 foo bar
#   OPTION2
#   LIST1 fuz baz
#   )
# PARSE_ARGUMENTS(ARG "LIST1;LIST2;LIST3" "OPTION1;OPTION2;OPTION3" ${arguments})
#
# PARSE_ARGUMENTS creates 7 variables and sets them as follows:
#
#    * ARG_DEFAULT_ARGS: hello;world
#    * ARG_LIST1: fuz;baz
#    * ARG_LIST2:
#    * ARG_LIST3: foo;bar
#    * ARG_OPTION1: FALSE
#    * ARG_OPTION2: TRUE
#    * ARG_OPTION3: TRUE 
#
# If you don't have any options, use an empty string in its place.
#
# PARSE_ARGUMENTS(ARG "LIST1;LIST2;LIST3" "" ${arguments})
#
# Likewise if you have no lists.
# 
# PARSE_ARGUMENTS(ARG "" "OPTION1;OPTION2;OPTION3" ${arguments})
