Help/prop_tgt/NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED.rst
Do not treat include directories from the interfaces of consumed
:ref:imported targets as system directories.
When the consumed target's :prop_tgt:SYSTEM property is set to true, the
contents of the :prop_tgt:INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target property are
treated as system includes or, on Apple platforms, when the target is a
framework, it will be treated as system. By default, :prop_tgt:SYSTEM is
true for imported targets and false for other target types. If the
NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED property is set to true on a consuming target,
compilation of sources in that consuming target will not treat the contents of
the :prop_tgt:INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of consumed imported targets as
system includes, even if that imported target's :prop_tgt:SYSTEM property
is false.
Directories listed in the :prop_tgt:INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
property of consumed targets are not affected by NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED.
Those directories will always be treated as system include directories by
consumers.
This property is initialized by the value of the
:variable:CMAKE_NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED variable if it is set when a target
is created.
See the :prop_tgt:EXPORT_NO_SYSTEM target property to set this behavior
on the target providing the include directories rather than the target
consuming them.
