This option has been broken since commit b9f9915516 (cmMakefile: Remove
VarUsageStack., 2015-05-17, v3.3.0-rc1~52^2). That commit removed the
check that an initialized variable has actually been used and caused the
option to warn on every variable ever set. This was not caught by the
test suite because the test for the feature only checked that warnings
appear when needed and not that they do not appear when not needed.
The option was never very practical to use. Remove it to avoid the
runtime cost of usage tracking and checks for every variable (which we
were doing even when the option was not used).
CMake Tests Directory
*********************
This directory contains the CMake test suite.
See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_.
.. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst
Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests
are organized as follows.
* ``CMakeLib/``:
Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library
defined over in ``Source/``.
* ``CMakeOnly/``:
Deprecated. Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it.
Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.
* ``Find*/``:
Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with
the corresponding packages installed. They are enabled in
``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds.
* ``Module/``:
Tests for specific CMake modules.
* ``RunCMake/``:
Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking
their return code and stdout/stderr content. Useful for testing
error cases and diagnostic output.
