| |
| FILE GLOB_RECURSE calls should not follow symlinks by default. |
| |
| In CMake 2.6.1 and below, :command:`file(GLOB_RECURSE)` calls would follow |
| through symlinks, sometimes coming up with unexpectedly large result sets |
| because of symlinks to top level directories that contain hundreds of |
| thousands of files. |
| |
| This policy determines whether or not to follow symlinks encountered |
| during a :command:`file(GLOB_RECURSE)` call. The ``OLD`` behavior for this |
| policy is to follow the symlinks. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is not |
| to follow the symlinks by default, but only if ``FOLLOW_SYMLINKS`` is given |
| as an additional argument to the ``FILE`` command. |
| |
| This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.2. CMake version |
| |release| warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. Use |
| the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly. |
