.. versionadded:: 3.24
:command:`try_compile` passes platform variables in project mode.
The :command:`try_compile` command :ref:`source file <Try Compiling Source
Files>` signature propagates CMake variables containing platform settings,
and those specified by the :variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES`
variable, into the generated test project. This helps the test project drive
the toolchain the same way the calling project will. In CMake 3.23 and below,
the :ref:`whole-project <Try Compiling Whole Projects>` signature does not
propagate platform variables automatically. CMake 3.24 and above prefer to
propagate platform variables in the :ref:`whole-project <Try Compiling Whole
Projects>` signature. This policy provides compatibility with projects that
have not been updated to expect the behavior.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to not pass any additional variables to
the :ref:`whole-project <Try Compiling Whole Projects>` signature.
The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to pass the same variables that the
:ref:`source file <Try Compiling Source Files>` signature does.
Regardless of the policy setting, the
:variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_NO_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable may be set
to suppress passing the platform variables through either signature.
