| source file is written in the specified language. In CMake 3.19 and below, |
| setting this property causes CMake to compile the source file using the |
| compiler for the specified language. However, it only passes an explicit |
| flag to tell the compiler to treat the source as the specified language |
| for MSVC-like, XL, and Embarcadero compilers for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CXX</span></code> language. |
| CMake 3.20 and above prefer to also explicitly tell the compiler to use |
| the specified language using a flag such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-x</span> <span class="pre">c</span></code> on all compilers |
| for which such flags are known.</p> |
| <p>This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated |
| to expect this behavior. For example, some projects were setting the |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LANGUAGE</span></code> property to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">C</span></code> on assembly-language <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.S</span></code> source files |
| in order to compile them using the C compiler. Such projects should be |
| updated to use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">enable_language(ASM)</span></code>, for which CMake will often choose |
| the C compiler as the assembler on relevant platforms anyway.</p> |
| <p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior for this policy is to interpret the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LANGUAGE</span> <span class="pre"><LANG></span></code> |
| property using its undocumented meaning to "use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><LANG></span></code> compiler". |
| The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> behavior for this policy is to interpret the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LANGUAGE</span> <span class="pre"><LANG></span></code> |
| property using its documented meaning to "compile as a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><LANG></span></code> source".</p> |
| <p>This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.20. Use the |
| <span class="target" id="index-0-command:cmake_policy"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/cmake_policy.html#command:cmake_policy" title="cmake_policy"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmake_policy()</span></code></a> command to set it to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> explicitly. |
| Unlike many policies, CMake version 3.23.1 does <em>not</em> warn |
| when this policy is not set and simply uses <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior.</p> |
