FindPython INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION warning
In CMake (tested 3.18.0 and 3.18.1), this warning pops up, without a clear way to suppress it:
-- The CXX compiler identification is AppleClang 11.0.3.11030032
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/c++ - skipped

CMake Warning (dev) at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.18.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindPython/Support.cmake:3120 (add_library):
Policy CMP0069 is not set: INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION is enforced when
enabled. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0069" for policy details. Use the
cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION property will be ignored for target
'MyExample'.

It looks like Modules/FindPython/Support.cmake
sets policy level 3.7 (but FindPython was new in 3.12?), causing this to be thrown in some cases. I don't really understand why this line could be complaining, actually, since it seems like the target is brand new at this point. Simply changing the policy level in Support causes the warning to go away.
Note that I am setting the property later, not using the CMAKE_
variable, and I still get this. MWE:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.18)
project(MyProject LANGUAGES CXX)
find_package(Python COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)
file(TOUCH a.cpp b.cpp)
Python_add_library(MyExample a.cpp b.cpp)
set_target_properties(MyExample PROPERTIES INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION ON)
