.. versionadded:: 4.3
:command:`export(EXPORT)` does not allow empty arguments.
In CMake 4.2 and below, the :command:`export(EXPORT)` command silently
accepted ``NAMESPACE``, ``FILE`` or ``CXX_MODULES_DIRECTORY`` arguments with
empty or missing values.
CMake 4.3 and above issue a diagnostic if any of these keywords are present
without an associated value, or of the value given to ``FILE`` or
``CXX_MODULES_DIRECTORY`` is empty. (``NAMESPACE`` is allowed to have an empty
value, but an empty value must be quoted.) A diagnostic is also issued
immediately if the value of ``EXPORT`` is missing or empty. (Previously, this
would result in an error at generate-time because no export set whose name is
empty can exist.)
This policy provides compatibility with projects which may have relied on the
previous lack of enforcement. The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy permits
these keywords to be present without an accompanying value, or to be given an
empty value. The ``NEW`` behavior requires that a value be given, and that
the value (except for ``NAMESPACE``) is non-empty.
