CMP0131 ------- .. versionadded:: 3.24 :prop_tgt:`LINK_LIBRARIES` supports the :genex:`$<LINK_ONLY:...>` generator expression. CMake 3.23 and below documented the :genex:`$<LINK_ONLY:...>` generator expression only for use in :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES`. When used in :prop_tgt:`LINK_LIBRARIES`, the content guarded inside :genex:`$<LINK_ONLY:...>` was always used, even when collecting non-linking usage requirements such as :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS`. CMake 3.24 and above prefer to support :genex:`$<LINK_ONLY:...>`, when used in :prop_tgt:`LINK_LIBRARIES`, by using the guarded content only for link dependencies and not other usage requirements. This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated to account for this change. The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to use :prop_tgt:`LINK_LIBRARIES` content guarded by :genex:`$<LINK_ONLY:...>` even for non-linking usage requirements. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to use the guarded content only for link dependencies. .. |INTRODUCED_IN_CMAKE_VERSION| replace:: 3.24 .. |WARNS_OR_DOES_NOT_WARN| replace:: does *not* warn .. include:: STANDARD_ADVICE.txt .. include:: DEPRECATED.txt
