# cmake 4.4 added CMP0219, whose NEW behavior preserves backslashes in macro arguments and
# thus would make the call below succeed. Set it to OLD, so that the case keeps checking
# what the macro implementation does. Older cmake versions only have the OLD behavior.

# Same as the versionless-deploy-tool-options case, but with the deprecated macro
# implementation of the version-less command, which is selected by setting
# QTP0008 to OLD.
# The macro forwards ${ARGV}, which cmake re-parses, so it consumes one level of
# backslashes and '\b' is not a valid escape sequence. Assert that this still fails, which
# is why the macro implementation is deprecated.
