CMP0169
-------
.. versionadded:: 3.30
Calling :command:`FetchContent_Populate` with a single argument (the name of
a declared dependency) is deprecated.
Prior to the introduction of :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`, projects
populated previously declared content (with :command:`FetchContent_Declare`)
using the following pattern:
.. code-block:: cmake
FetchContent_GetProperties(depname)
if(NOT depname_POPULATED)
FetchContent_Populate(depname)
add_subdirectory(${depname_SOURCE_DIR} ${depname_BINARY_DIR})
endif()
The above pattern does not support a number of features that have been added
to :module:`FetchContent` over time. It ignores options like ``SYSTEM`` and
``EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL`` which may be given to :command:`FetchContent_Declare`,
but can't be made known to the above project code. It also does not support
:ref:`dependency providers <dependency_providers_overview>`.
Projects should call :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` instead of using
the above pattern.
CMake 3.30 and above prefers to reject calls to
:command:`FetchContent_Populate` with the name of a declared dependency.
This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated
to call :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` instead.
The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy allows :command:`FetchContent_Populate`
to be called with the name of a declared dependency.
The ``NEW`` behavior halts with a fatal error in such cases.
.. note::
Calling :command:`FetchContent_Populate` with the full population details
as command arguments rather than just a dependency name remains fully
supported. Only the form calling :command:`FetchContent_Populate` with a
single argument (the name of a previously declared dependency) is deprecated
with this policy.
