CMD_DEPRECATED

Added in version 4.4.

Command Line:: -W[no-][error=]deprecated
Presets:: warnings.deprecated, errors.deprecated
Default:: Warn
Parent:: CMD_AUTHOR

Warn about use of a deprecated function or package. This is the category triggered by message(DEPRECATION).

Note

If CMP0218 is not set to NEW, message(DEPRECATION) invocations, along with builtin deprecation messages that existed prior to CMake 4.4, will ignore this diagnostic state and will instead use the CMAKE_WARN_DEPRECATED and CMAKE_ERROR_DEPRECATED variables to determine the severity of deprecation messages.
