.. versionadded:: 3.14

:module:FindBISON runs bison in :variable:CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR when executing.

The module provides a bison_target() command which generates BISON output. In CMake 3.13 and below the command would generate a custom build rule that runs bison in the source directory. CMake 3.14 and later prefer to run it in the build directory and use :variable:CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR as the WORKING_DIRECTORY of its :command:add_custom_command invocation. This ensures that any implicitly generated file is written to the build tree rather than the source.

This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated to expect the new behavior.

The OLD behavior for this policy is for bison_target() to use the current source directory for the WORKING_DIRECTORY and where to generate implicit files. The NEW behavior of this policy is to use the current binary directory for the WORKING_DIRECTORY and where to generate implicit files.
