Honor visibility properties for all target types.
The <LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET and
VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN target properties affect visibility
of symbols during dynamic linking. When first introduced these properties
affected compilation of sources only in shared libraries, module libraries,
and executables with the ENABLE_EXPORTS property set. This
was sufficient for the basic use cases of shared libraries and executables
with plugins. However, some sources may be compiled as part of static
libraries or object libraries and then linked into a shared library later.
CMake 3.3 and above prefer to honor these properties for sources compiled
in all target types. This policy preserves compatibility for projects
expecting the properties to work only for some target types.
The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore the visibility properties
for static libraries, object libraries, and executables without exports.
The NEW behavior for this policy is to honor the visibility properties
for all target types.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.3. CMake version
3.17.2 warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
the cmake_policy() command to set it to OLD or NEW
explicitly.
Note
The OLD behavior of a policy is
deprecated by definition
and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
