| 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. | |
