Avoid repeating generator expression?

Code
1

I have a CMakeLists.txt file which contains three targets. Two of these targets have target_compile_definitions which contain long but identical generator expressions. Since I try to adhere to the DRY principle I am wondering if there is a way to avoid code duplication for these generator expressions?

You can do this:

set(genex "$<…>")
target_compile_definitions(a PRIVATE "${genex}")
target_compile_definitions(b PRIVATE "${genex}")

Simpler than expected.
Thank you!
