CMP0096ΒΆ
New in version 3.16.
The project()
command preserves leading zeros in version components.
When a VERSION <major>[.<minor>[.<patch>[.<tweak>]]]]
argument is given
to the project()
command, it stores the version string in the
PROJECT_VERSION
variable and stores individual integer version components
in PROJECT_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,PATCH,TWEAK}
variables (see policy
CMP0048
). CMake 3.15 and below dropped leading zeros from each
component. CMake 3.16 and higher prefer to preserve leading zeros. This
policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated to
expect the new behavior.
The OLD
behavior of this policy drops leading zeros in all components,
e.g. such that version 1.07.06
becomes 1.7.6
. The NEW
behavior
of this policy preserves the leading zeros in all components, such that
version 1.07.06
remains unchanged.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.16. Unlike many policies, CMake
version 3.19.8 does not warn when this policy is not set and simply uses
the OLD
behavior. Use the cmake_policy()
command to set it to
OLD
or NEW
explicitly.
Note
The OLD
behavior of a policy is
deprecated by definition
and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
