  2. -------
  3. Honor link flags in :command:`try_compile` source-file signature.
  4. The :command:`try_compile` command source-file signature generates a
  5. ``CMakeLists.txt`` file to build the source file into an executable.
  6. In order to compile the source the same way as it might be compiled
  7. by the calling project, the generated project sets the value of the
  8. :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS` variable to that in the calling project.
  9. The value of the :variable:`CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable may be
  10. needed in some cases too, but CMake 3.1 and lower did not set it in
  11. the generated project. CMake 3.2 and above prefer to set it so that
  12. linker flags are honored as well as compiler flags. This policy
  13. provides compatibility with the pre-3.2 behavior.
  14. The OLD behavior for this policy is to not set the value of the
  15. :variable:`CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable in the generated test
  16. project. The NEW behavior for this policy is to set the value of
  17. the :variable:`CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable in the test project
  18. to the same as it is in the calling project.
  19. If the project code does not set the policy explicitly, users may
  20. set it on the command line by defining the
  21. :variable:`CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0056 <CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP<NNNN>>`
  22. variable in the cache.
  23. This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.2. Unlike most policies,
  24. CMake version |release| does *not* warn by default when this policy
  25. is not set and simply uses OLD behavior. See documentation of the
  26. :variable:`CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0056 <CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN>>`
  27. variable to control the warning.
