This was originally attempted by policy CMP0118, but its
implementation did not cover all intended use cases. We fixed its
documentation in commit 1dabbbb5e0 (CMP0118: Revise documentation to
describe actual behavior, 2024-03-20).
Add new policy CMP0163 to cover the remaining use cases. In particular,
make the `GENERATED` property visible to `get_property` calls in other
directories. In order to capture the original intention of CMP0118,
define CMP0163's NEW behavior to also imply CMP0118's NEW behavior.
Fixes: #25437Fixes: #25058
The policy was originally intended to make the `GENERATED` source file
property globally visible, but the implementation didn't fully achieve
that goal. Revise the documentation to describe what it actually does.
Issue: #25437
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.
Run the script:
Utilities/Sphinx/update_versions.py --since v3.19.0 --overwrite
Manually restore the 3.20 version for `cmake_path`, which was originally
part of 3.19 but reverted and restored in 3.20.
