<p>Do not add flags to export symbols from executables without
the <span class="target" id="index-0-prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../prop_tgt/ENABLE_EXPORTS.html#prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS" title="ENABLE_EXPORTS"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ENABLE_EXPORTS</span></code></a> target property.</p>
<p>CMake 3.3 and below, for historical reasons, always linked executables
on some platforms with flags like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-rdynamic</span></code> to export symbols from
the executables for use by any plugins they may load via <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dlopen</span></code>.
CMake 3.4 and above prefer to do this only for executables that are
explicitly marked with the <span class="target" id="index-1-prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../prop_tgt/ENABLE_EXPORTS.html#prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS" title="ENABLE_EXPORTS"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ENABLE_EXPORTS</span></code></a> target property.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior of this policy is to always use the additional link
flags when linking executables regardless of the value of the
<span class="target" id="index-2-prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../prop_tgt/ENABLE_EXPORTS.html#prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS" title="ENABLE_EXPORTS"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ENABLE_EXPORTS</span></code></a> target property.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> behavior of this policy is to only use the additional link
flags when linking executables if the <span class="target" id="index-3-prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../prop_tgt/ENABLE_EXPORTS.html#prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS" title="ENABLE_EXPORTS"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ENABLE_EXPORTS</span></code></a> target
property is set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>.</p>
<p>This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.4. Unlike most policies,
CMake version 3.23.1 does <em>not</em> warn by default when this policy
is not set and simply uses <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior. See documentation of the
<span class="target" id="index-0-variable:CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP&lt;NNNN&gt;"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../variable/CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMPNNNN.html#variable:CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP&lt;NNNN&gt;" title="CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP&lt;NNNN&gt;"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0065</span></code></a>
