variable is meant to externally set policies for which a project has
not itself been updated:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Users running CMake may set this variable in the cache
(e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP&lt;NNNN&gt;=&lt;OLD|NEW&gt;</span></code>). Set it to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code>
to quiet a policy warning while using old behavior or to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> to
try building the project with new behavior.</p></li>
<li><p>Projects may set this variable before a call to <span class="target" id="index-0-command:add_subdirectory"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/add_subdirectory.html#command:add_subdirectory" title="add_subdirectory"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add_subdirectory()</span></code></a>
that adds a third-party project in order to set its policies without
modifying third-party code.</p></li>
