.. versionadded:: 3.20
Ninja generators transform ``DEPFILE`` s from :command:`add_custom_command`.
In CMake 3.19 and below, files given to the ``DEPFILE`` argument of
:command:`add_custom_command` were passed directly to Ninja's ``depfile``
variable without any path resolution. This meant that if
:command:`add_custom_command` was called from a subdirectory (created by
:command:`add_subdirectory`), the ``DEPFILE`` argument would have to be either
an absolute path or a path relative to :variable:`CMAKE_BINARY_DIR`, rather
than :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR`. In addition, no transformation was
done on the file listed in ``DEPFILE``, which meant that the paths within the
``DEPFILE`` had the same restrictions.
Starting with CMake 3.20, the ``DEPFILE`` argument is relative to
:variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR` (unless it is absolute), and the paths in
the ``DEPFILE`` are also relative to :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR`.
CMake automatically transforms the paths in the ``DEPFILE`` (unless they are
absolute) after the custom command is run. The file listed in ``DEPFILE`` is
not modified in any way. Instead, CMake writes the transformation to its own
internal file, and passes this internal file to Ninja's ``depfile`` variable.
This transformation happens regardless of whether or not ``DEPFILE`` is
relative, and regardless of whether or not :command:`add_custom_command` is
called from a subdirectory.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to pass the ``DEPFILE`` to Ninja
unaltered. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to transform the ``DEPFILE``
after running the custom command. The status of ``CMP0116`` is recorded at the
time of the custom command's creation, and you can have custom commands in the
same directory with different values for ``CMP0116`` by setting the policy
before each custom command.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.20. Unlike most policies,
CMake version |release| does *not* warn by default when this policy is not set
(unless ``DEPFILE`` is used in a subdirectory) and simply uses ``OLD``
behavior. See documentation of the
:variable:`CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0116 <CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN>>`
variable to control the warning.
