| LINK_OPTIONS |
| ------------ |
| |
| List of options to use for the link step of shared library, module |
| and executable targets as well as the device link step. Targets that are static |
| libraries need to use the :prop_tgt:`STATIC_LIBRARY_OPTIONS` target property. |
| |
| These options are used for both normal linking and device linking |
| (see policy :policy:`CMP0105`). To control link options for normal and device |
| link steps, ``$<HOST_LINK>`` and ``$<DEVICE_LINK>`` |
| :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` can be used. |
| |
| This property holds a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of |
| options specified so far for its target. Use the :command:`target_link_options` |
| command to append more options. |
| |
| This property is initialized by the :prop_dir:`LINK_OPTIONS` directory |
| property when a target is created, and is used by the generators to set |
| the options for the compiler. |
| |
| Contents of ``LINK_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. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| This property must be used in preference to :prop_tgt:`LINK_FLAGS` property. |
