STATIC_LIBRARY_OPTIONS¶
Added in version 3.13.
Archiver (or MSVC librarian) flags for a static library target.
Targets that are shared libraries, modules, or executables need to use
the LINK_OPTIONS target property.
This property holds a semicolon-separated list of options
specified so far for its target. Use set_target_properties() or
set_property() commands to set its content.
Contents of STATIC_LIBRARY_OPTIONS may use "generator expressions" with the
syntax $<...>. See the cmake-generator-expressions(7) manual
for available expressions. See the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual
for more on defining buildsystem properties.
Note
This property must be used in preference to STATIC_LIBRARY_FLAGS
property.
Option De-duplication¶
The final set of options used for a target is constructed by accumulating options from the current target and the usage requirements of its dependencies. The set of options is de-duplicated to avoid repetition.
Added in version 3.12: While beneficial for individual options, the de-duplication step can break
up option groups. For example, -option A -option B becomes
-option A B. One may specify a group of options using shell-like
quoting along with a SHELL: prefix. The SHELL: prefix is dropped,
and the rest of the option string is parsed using the
separate_arguments() UNIX_COMMAND mode. For example,
"SHELL:-option A" "SHELL:-option B" becomes -option A -option B.
