<p>This policy provides compatibility with projects that have not been updated
to expect this behavior. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior for this policy is to leave
all relative source file paths unmodified. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> behavior of this
policy is to convert relative paths to absolute according to above rules.</p>
<p>This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.13. CMake version
3.23.1 warns when the policy is not set and uses <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior.
