LINK_OPTIONS
------------
List of options to use for the link step of shared library, module
2020-08-30 11:54:41 +02:00
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`
2018-10-28 12:09:07 +01:00
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.
