Added in version 3.29.
This controls how the value of the CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_<TYPE>
variable should be interpreted. The supported linker mode values are:
FLAGCMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_<TYPE> holds a
semicolon-separated list of flags to be passed
to the compiler frontend. This is also the default behavior if
CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_MODE is not set.
TOOLCMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_<TYPE> holds the path to the linker
tool.
Warning
The variable must be set accordingly to how CMake manage the link step:
value TOOL is expected and required when the linker is used directly
for the link step.
value FLAGS is expected or the variable not set when the compiler is
used as driver for the link step.
Deprecated since version 4.0.
This variable is no longer used. The type of information stored in the
CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_<TYPE> variable is determined by the
CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_MODE variable.
