COMPILE_OPTIONS

List of options to pass to the compiler.

This property holds a :ref:semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists> of options specified so far for its target. Use the :command:target_compile_options command to append more options. The options will be added after flags in the :variable:CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and :variable:CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables, but before those propagated from dependencies by the :prop_tgt:INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS property.

This property adds compile options for all languages in a target. Use the :genex:COMPILE_LANGUAGE generator expression to specify per-language compile options.

This property is initialized by the :prop_dir:COMPILE_OPTIONS directory property when a target is created, and is used by the generators to set the options for the compiler.

Contents of COMPILE_OPTIONS may use "generator expressions" with the syntax $<...>. See the :manual:cmake-generator-expressions(7) manual for available expressions. See the :manual:cmake-buildsystem(7) manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
