This is an indicator of a bug in +user code. + +The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore targets which list themselves +in their own link implementation. The NEW behavior for this policy is to +report an error if a target attempts to link to itself. + +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 cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly. |
