target_compile_features

.. versionadded:: 3.1

Add expected compiler features to a target.

.. code-block:: cmake

target_compile_features(<target> {INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE} <feature>... [{INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE} <feature>...]...)

Specifies compiler features required when compiling a given target. If the feature is not listed in the :variable:CMAKE_C_COMPILE_FEATURES, :variable:CMAKE_CUDA_COMPILE_FEATURES, or :variable:CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_FEATURES variables, then an error will be reported by CMake. If the use of the feature requires an additional compiler flag, such as -std=gnu++11, the flag will be added automatically.

The INTERFACE, PUBLIC and PRIVATE keywords are required to specify the scope of the features. PRIVATE and PUBLIC items will populate the :prop_tgt:COMPILE_FEATURES property of <target>. PUBLIC and INTERFACE items will populate the :prop_tgt:INTERFACE_COMPILE_FEATURES property of <target>. Repeated calls for the same <target> append items.

.. versionadded:: 3.11 Allow setting INTERFACE items on :ref:IMPORTED targets <Imported Targets>.

The named <target> must have been created by a command such as :command:add_executable or :command:add_library and must not be an :ref:ALIAS target <Alias Targets>.
