In general we disallow references to transitive target properties, such
as `COMPILE_DEFINITIONS`, in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties,
because the latter establish the transitivity itself. Prior to CMP0189,
the `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties were not themselves transitive
in `$<TARGET_PROPERTY>` expressions, so existing projects have code like
target_link_libraries(foo PRIVATE "$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,LINK_LIBRARIES>")
Policy CMP0189's NEW behavior, introduced by commit b3da9c6d60 (GenEx:
Evaluate LINK_LIBRARIES target properties transitively, 2025-02-24,
v4.1.0-rc1~731^2), makes `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,LINK_LIBRARIES>`
transitive, causing the above to be rejected. Since evaluation of a
target's link libraries can already encounter and handle other targets'
link libraries, allow it in this case.
Fixes: #27265
CMake Tests Directory ********************* This directory contains the CMake test suite. See also the `CMake Testing Guide`_ and the `CMake Source Code Guide`_. .. _`CMake Testing Guide`: ../Help/dev/testing.rst .. _`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 Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.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. See `RunCMake/README.rst`_. .. _`RunCMake/README.rst`: RunCMake/README.rst
