Previously this was done to help build as much +of tested projects as possible. However, this behavior is not +consistent with other generators and also causes the return code +of the ``make`` tool to be meaningless. + +Of course users may still add this option manually by setting +:variable:`CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND` or the ``MAKECOMMAND`` cache entry. +See the :ref:`CTest Build Step` ``MakeCommand`` setting documentation +for their effects. + +The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to add ``-i`` to ``make`` +calls in CTest. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to not +add ``-i``. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.3. Unlike most policies, +CMake version |release| does *not* warn when this policy is not set and +simply uses OLD behavior. + +.. include:: DEPRECATED.txt |
