* Help: Normalize and consolidate standard policy advice paragraphBrad King2024-01-111-3/+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.
* Makefile: Add policy CMP0113 to avoid duplication of custom commandsBrad King2020-09-081-0/+43
Do not attach a custom command to a target if it is already attached to one of the target's dependencies. The command's output will be available by the time the target needs it because the dependency containing the command will have already been built. This may break existing projects that do not properly mark non-created outputs with the `SYMBOLIC` property. Previously a chain of two custom commands whose intermediate dependency is not created would put both commands in a dependent project's Makefile even if the first command is also in its dependency's Makefile. The first command would run twice but the build would work. Now the second command needs an explicit `SYMBOLIC` mark on its input to tell CMake that it is not expected to exist. To maintain compatibility with projects that left out the mark, add a policy activating the behavior.
