New in version 3.17.
Target link properties INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS
,
INTERFACE_LINK_DIRECTORIES
and INTERFACE_LINK_DEPENDS
are now transitive over private dependencies of static libraries.
In CMake 3.16 and below the interface link properties attached to libraries are not propagated for private dependencies of static libraries. Only the libraries themselves are propagated to link the dependent binary. CMake 3.17 and later prefer to propagate all interface link properties. This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated to expect the new behavior.
The OLD
behavior for this policy is to not propagate interface link
properties. The NEW
behavior of this policy is to propagate interface link
properties.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.17. Use the
cmake_policy()
command to set it to OLD
or NEW
explicitly.
Unlike many policies, CMake version 3.19.8 does not warn
when this policy is not set and simply uses OLD
behavior.
Note
The OLD
behavior of a policy is
deprecated by definition
and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
