This property replaces the properties which match (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?, and is enabled for IMPORTED targets, and for non-IMPORTED targets only with a policy. For static libraries, the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is also used as the source of transitive usage requirements content. Static libraries still require users to link to all entries in their LINK_LIBRARIES, but usage requirements such as INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and COMPILE_OPTIONS can be restricted to only certain interface libraries. Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is populated unconditionally, we need to compare the evaluated result of it with the link implementation to determine whether to issue the policy warning for static libraries. For shared libraries, the policy warning is issued if the contents of the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property differs from the contents of the relevant config-specific old LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property.
If you think about adding a new testcase then here is a small checklist you can run through to find a proper place for it. Go through the list from the beginning and stop once you find something that matches your tests needs, i.e. if you will test a module and only need the configure mode use the instructions from section 2, not 3. 1. Your testcase can run in CMake script mode, i.e. "cmake -P something" Put your test in Tests/CMakeTests/ directory as a .cmake.in file. It will be put into the test binary directory by configure_file(... @ONLY) and run from there. Use the AddCMakeTest() macro in Tests/CMakeTests/CMakeLists.txt to add your test to the test runs. 2. Your test needs CMake to run in configure mode, but will not build anything This includes tests that will build something using try_compile() and friends, but nothing that expects add_executable(), add_library(), or add_test() to run. If the test configures the project only once and it must succeed then put it into the Tests/CMakeOnly/ directory. Create a subdirectory named like your test and write the CMakeLists.txt you need into that subdirectory. Use the add_CMakeOnly_test() macro from Tests/CMakeOnly/CMakeLists.txt to add your test to the test runs. If the test configures the project with multiple variations and verifies success or failure each time then put it into the Tests/RunCMake/ directory. Read the instructions in Tests/RunCMake/CMakeLists.txt to add a test. 3. If you are testing something from the Modules directory Put your test in the Tests/Modules/ directory. Create a subdirectory there named after your test. Use the ADD_TEST_MACRO macro from Tests/CMakeLists.txt to add your test to the test run. If you have put your stuff in Tests/Modules/Foo then you call it using ADD_TEST_MACRO(Module.Foo Foo). 4. You are doing other stuff. Find a good place ;) In doubt mail to cmake-developers@cmake.org and ask for advise.
