How do I iterate over all CMake targets programmatically?

Question

Is there a way to get all targets of a CMake project from within the top level CMakeLists.txt, i.e. iterate over the targets programmatically?

If you want to go over a list of targets, set your CMakeLists.txt up to provide that list in the first place.

if ( CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Xcode" )
    include(sanitize_xcode)
endif()

# A list of executables to build
set( project_EXECUTABLES
     foo
     bar
   )

# List of sources for each executable, following some naming scheme

# foo
set( EXE_foo_SOURCES
     foo/main.c
   )

# bar
set( EXE_bar_SOURCES
     bar/main.c
   )

# For each executable in the list...
foreach( exe ${project_EXECUTABLES} )
    # declare the target...
    add_executable( ${exe} ${EXE_${exe}_SOURCES} )

    # ...and do whatever additional configuration you need
    if ( CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Xcode" )
        sanitize_xcode( ${exe} )
    endif()
endforeach()
