.. versionadded:: 3.21

|
The :command:`find_file`, :command:`find_path`, :command:`find_library` and
|
|
:command:`find_program` commands cache their result in the variable specified
|
|
by their first argument. Prior to CMake 3.21, if a cache variable of that
|
|
name already existed before the call but the cache variable had no type, any
|
|
non-cache variable of the same name would be discarded and the cache variable
|
|
was always used (see also :policy:`CMP0126` for a different but similar
|
|
behavior). This contradicts the convention that a non-cache variable should
|
|
take precedence over a cache variable of the same name. Such a situation can
|
|
arise if a user sets a cache variable on the command line without specifying
|
|
a type, such as ``cmake -DMYVAR=blah ...`` instead of
|
|
``cmake -DMYVAR:FILEPATH=blah``.
|
|
|
|
Related to the above, if a cache variable of the specified name already exists
|
|
and it *does* have a type, the various ``find_...()`` commands would return
|
|
that value unchanged. In particular, if it contained a relative path, it
|
|
would not be converted to an absolute path in this situation.
|
|
|
|
When policy ``CMP0125`` is set to ``OLD`` or is unset, the behavior is as
|
|
described above. When it is set to ``NEW``, the behavior is as follows:
|
|
|
|
* If a non-cache variable of the specified name exists when the ``find_...()``
|
|
command is called, its value will be used regardless of whether a cache
|
|
variable of the same name already exists or not. A cache variable will not
|
|
be created in this case if no such cache variable existed before.
|
|
If a cache variable of the specified name did already exist, the cache will
|
|
be updated to match the non-cache variable.
|
|
|
|
* The various ``find...()`` commands will always provide an absolute path in
|
|
the result variable, except where a relative path provided by a cache or
|
|
non-cache variable cannot be resolved to an existing path.
