The most likely documentation page a project author will read in response to a policy warning is the page for the policy itself. Add to every policy documentation page a note explicitly stating that the OLD behavior is deprecated. Also mention this in the cmake_policy() command documentation that explains how to set a policy to OLD. Suggested-by: Fraser Hutchison <fraser.hutchison@gmail.com>

-------
|
|
|
|
Only interpret :command:`if` arguments as variables or keywords when unquoted.
|
|
|
|
CMake 3.1 and above no longer implicitly dereference variables or
|
|
interpret keywords in an :command:`if` command argument when
|
|
it is a :ref:`Quoted Argument` or a :ref:`Bracket Argument`.
|
|
|
|
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to dereference variables and
|
|
interpret keywords even if they are quoted or bracketed.
|
|
The ``NEW`` behavior is to not dereference variables or interpret keywords
|
|
that have been quoted or bracketed.
|
|
|
|
Given the following partial example:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
set(A E)
|
|
set(E "")
|
|
|
|
if("${A}" STREQUAL "")
|
|
message("Result is TRUE before CMake 3.1 or when CMP0054 is OLD")
|
|
else()
|
|
message("Result is FALSE in CMake 3.1 and above if CMP0054 is NEW")
|
|
endif()
|
|
|
|
After explicit expansion of variables this gives:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
if("E" STREQUAL "")
|
|
|
|
With the policy set to ``OLD`` implicit expansion reduces this semantically to:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
if("" STREQUAL "")
|
|
|
|
With the policy set to ``NEW`` the quoted arguments will not be
|
|
further dereferenced:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
if("E" STREQUAL "")
|
|
|
|
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.1.
|
|
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.
