In a CMake script, how to increment a variable ?
I was expecting a function like "increment(VAR)" but couldn't find any.

A program can increment by 1 the value of a variable called c using the increment operator, ++, rather than the expression c=c+1 or c+=1. An increment or decrement operator that is prefixed to (placed before) a variable is referred to as the prefix increment or prefix decrement operator, respectively.
In C/C++, Increment operators are used to increase the value of a variable by 1. This operator is represented by the ++ symbol. The increment operator can either increase the value of the variable by 1 before assigning it to the variable or can increase the value of the variable by 1 after assigning the variable.
Same as in other languages: ++x (pre-increment) means "increment the variable; the value of the expression is the final value" x++ (post-increment) means "remember the original value, then increment the variable; the value of the expression is the original value"
There are two ways to use the increment operator; prefix and postfix increment. The prefix increment looks like ++variablename; while the postfix increment looks like variablename++; . Both of these operations add one to the value in the variable. The difference between the two is the order of how it works.
