| <div class="versionadded"> | |
| <p><span class="versionmodified added">New in version 3.1.</span></p> | |
| </div> | |
| <p>Only interpret <span class="target" id="index-0-command:if"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/if.html#command:if" title="if"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">if()</span></code></a> arguments as variables or keywords when unquoted.</p> | |
| <p>CMake 3.1 and above no longer implicitly dereference variables or | |
| interpret keywords in an <span class="target" id="index-1-command:if"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/if.html#command:if" title="if"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">if()</span></code></a> command argument when | |
| it is a <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake-language.7.html#quoted-argument"><span class="std std-ref">Quoted Argument</span></a> or a <a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake-language.7.html#bracket-argument"><span class="std std-ref">Bracket Argument</span></a>.</p> | |
| <p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> behavior for this policy is to dereference variables and | |
| interpret keywords even if they are quoted or bracketed. | |
| The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> behavior is to not dereference variables or interpret keywords | |
| that have been quoted or bracketed.</p> | |
| <p>Given the following partial example:</p> | |
| <div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>set(A E) | |
| set(E "") | |
| if("${A}" STREQUAL "") | |
| message("Result is TRUE before CMake 3.1 or when CMP0054 is OLD") | |
| else() | |
| message("Result is FALSE in CMake 3.1 and above if CMP0054 is NEW") | |
| endif() | |
| </pre></div> | |
| </div> | |
| <p>After explicit expansion of variables this gives:</p> | |
| <div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>if("E" STREQUAL "") | |
| </pre></div> | |
| </div> | |
| <p>With the policy set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OLD</span></code> implicit expansion reduces this semantically to:</p> | |
| <div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>if("" STREQUAL "") | |
| </pre></div> | |
| </div> | |
| <p>With the policy set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NEW</span></code> the quoted arguments will not be | |
| further dereferenced:</p> | |
| <div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>if("E" STREQUAL "") | |
| </pre></div> | |
| </div> | |
| <p>This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.1. | |
| 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.
