| CMP0070 |
| ------- |
| |
| Define :command:`file(GENERATE)` behavior for relative paths. |
| |
| CMake 3.10 and newer define that relative paths given to ``INPUT`` and |
| ``OUTPUT`` arguments of ``file(GENERATE)`` are interpreted relative to the |
| current source and binary directories, respectively. CMake 3.9 and lower did |
| not define any behavior for relative paths but did not diagnose them either |
| and accidentally treated them relative to the process working directory. |
| Policy ``CMP0070`` provides compatibility with projects that used the old |
| undefined behavior. |
| |
| This policy affects behavior of relative paths given to ``file(GENERATE)``. |
| The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to treat the paths relative to the |
| working directory of CMake. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to |
| interpret relative paths with respect to the current source or binary |
| directory of the caller. |
| |
| This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.10. 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. |
