[CMake] CMake script mode not backward compatible?

[Damien R]

Hi,

Since cmake 3.10, using cmake in script mode (-P) produce an error with the
following script:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)
set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL FALSE)

I did not see something related in the release notes of cmake 3.10 so I
would like to know if it is a regression, or if I was lucky that it worked
in cmake prior to 3.10?

It was broken by accident. I've opened an issue:

Please follow progress there.

FWIW, there is little reason to use this command in script mode.

Thanks,
