This relies on the +assumption that all necessary information is available at +configure-time to determine the final location and filename of the +target. However, this property is not fully determined until later at +generate-time. At generate time, the ``$<TARGET_FILE>`` generator +expression can be used to determine the eventual :prop_tgt:`LOCATION` of a target +output. + +Code which reads the :prop_tgt:`LOCATION` target property can be ported to +use the ``$<TARGET_FILE>`` generator expression together with the +:command:`file(GENERATE)` subcommand to generate a file containing +the target location. + +The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to allow reading the :prop_tgt:`LOCATION` +properties from build-targets. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to +not to allow reading the :prop_tgt:`LOCATION` properties from build-targets. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0. CMake version +|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. Use +the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly. + +.. include:: DEPRECATED.txt |
