<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RPATH</span></code> entries are properly escaped in the intermediary CMake install script.</p>

escaped before being inserted into the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake_install.cmake</span></code> script. Dynamic
linkers on ELF-based systems (e.g. Linux and FreeBSD) allow certain keywords in
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RPATH</span></code> entries, such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">${ORIGIN}</span></code> (More details are available in the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ld.so</span></code> man pages on those systems). The syntax of these keywords can match
CMake's variable syntax. In order to not be substituted (usually to an empty
string) already by the intermediary <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake_install.cmake</span></code> script, the user had
to double-escape such <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RPATH</span></code> keywords, e.g.
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">set(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH</span> <span class="pre">&quot;\\\${ORIGIN}/../lib&quot;)</span></code>. Since the intermediary
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake_install.cmake</span></code> script is an implementation detail of CMake, CMake 3.16
and later will make sure <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RPATH</span></code> entries are inserted literally by escaping
any coincidental CMake syntax.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior of this policy is to not escape <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RPATH</span></code> entries in the
intermediary <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake_install.cmake</span></code> script. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> behavior is to properly
escape coincidental CMake syntax in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RPATH</span></code> entries when generating the
intermediary <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake_install.cmake</span></code> script.</p>
<p>This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.16. CMake version 3.23.1 warns
when the policy is not set and detected usage of CMake-like syntax and uses
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior.
