Double colon in target name means ``ALIAS`` or ``IMPORTED`` target.
|
|
|
|
CMake 2.8.12 and lower allowed the use of targets and files with double
|
|
colons in :command:`target_link_libraries`, with some buildsystem generators.
|
|
|
|
The use of double-colons is a common pattern used to namespace ``IMPORTED``
|
|
targets and ``ALIAS`` targets. When computing the link dependencies of
|
|
a target, the name of each dependency could either be a target, or a file
|
|
on disk. Previously, if a target was not found with a matching name, the name
|
|
was considered to refer to a file on disk. This can lead to confusing error
|
|
messages if there is a typo in what should be a target name.
|
|
|
|
See also the :prop_tgt:`LINK_LIBRARIES_ONLY_TARGETS` target property.
|
|
|
|
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to search for targets, then files on
|
|
disk, even if the search term contains double-colons. The ``NEW`` behavior
|
|
for this policy is to issue a ``FATAL_ERROR`` if a link dependency contains
|
|
double-colons but is not an ``IMPORTED`` target or an ``ALIAS`` target.
