| CMP0073 |
| ------- |
| |
| Do not produce legacy ``_LIB_DEPENDS`` cache entries. |
| |
| Ancient CMake versions once used ``<tgt>_LIB_DEPENDS`` cache entries to |
| propagate library link dependencies. This has long been done by other |
| means, leaving the :command:`export_library_dependencies` command as the |
| only user of these values. That command has long been disallowed by |
| policy :policy:`CMP0033`, but the ``<tgt>_LIB_DEPENDS`` cache entries |
| were left for compatibility with possible non-standard uses by projects. |
| |
| CMake 3.12 and above now prefer to not produce these cache entries |
| at all. This policy provides compatibility with projects that have |
| not been updated to avoid using them. |
| |
| The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to set ``<tgt>_LIB_DEPENDS`` cache |
| entries. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to not set them. |
| |
| This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.12. Use the |
| :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly. |
| Unlike most policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn |
| when this policy is not set and simply uses ``OLD`` behavior. |
