* Help: Normalize and consolidate standard policy advice paragraphBrad King2024-01-111-4/+3
| | | | | | | | Every policy's documentation has a paragraph on what version of CMake introduced it, how to set the policy, and whether CMake warns if the policy is not set. The wording of this paragraph has diverged across policies over time. Factor the paragraph out into a standard advice document included by every policy.
* Help: Add Sphinx 'versionadded' directives to each top-level documentKitware Robot2020-07-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | Run the `Utilities/Sphinx/update_versions.py` script to add initial markup to every top-level document and find module. Issue: #19715
* target_link_libraries: Allow use with targets in other directoriesBrad King2018-09-121-0/+40
Previously the command did not allow naming targets on the LHS that were not created in the calling directory. Lift this restriction to enable more flexible use by projects. Targets named on the RHS will need to be looked up during generation in the scope of the call site rather than the scope of the LHS target. Introduce an internal syntax in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties to specify target names that need to be looked up in a directory other than that containing the target on which the property is set. Add minimal documentation of the syntax to help users that encounter it. Unfortunately CMake previously did allow such calls in the case that only `INTERFACE` libraries are specified, but those libraries would be looked up in the target's directory rather than the caller's. Add policy `CMP0079` to enable the new behavior with new lookup scope in a compatible way. Fixes: #17943
