| CXX_STANDARD |
| ------------ |
| |
| The C++ standard whose features are requested to build this target. |
| |
| This property specifies the C++ standard whose features are requested |
| to build this target. For some compilers, this results in adding a |
| flag such as ``-std=gnu++11`` to the compile line. For compilers that |
| have no notion of a standard level, such as MSVC, this has no effect. |
| |
| Supported values are ``98``, ``11`` and ``14``. |
| |
| If the value requested does not result in a compile flag being added for |
| the compiler in use, a previous standard flag will be added instead. This |
| means that using: |
| |
| .. code-block:: cmake |
| |
| set_property(TARGET tgt PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 11) |
| |
| with a compiler which does not support ``-std=gnu++11`` or an equivalent |
| flag will not result in an error or warning, but will instead add the |
| ``-std=gnu++98`` flag if supported. This "decay" behavior may be controlled |
| with the :prop_tgt:`CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED` target property. |
| |
| See the :manual:`cmake-compile-features(7)` manual for information on |
| compile features and a list of supported compilers. |
| |
| This property is initialized by the value of |
| the :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` variable if it is set when a target |
| is created. |
