| ------- |
| |
| Targets may not link directly to themselves. |
| |
| CMake 2.8.12 and lower allowed a build target to link to itself directly with |
| a :command:`target_link_libraries` call. This is an indicator of a bug in |
| user code. |
| |
| The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to ignore targets which list themselves |
| in their own link implementation. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to |
| report an error if a target attempts to link to itself. |
