+CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION
+---------------------------
+
+If CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION is ``OFF``, which is default, then CMake adds a
+special target on which all other targets depend that checks the build system
+and optionally re-runs CMake to regenerate the build system when the target
+specification source changes.
+
+If this variable evaluates to ``ON`` at the end of the top-level
+``CMakeLists.txt`` file, CMake will not add the regeneration target to the
+build system or perform any build system checks.
