target_compile_options
----------------------
Add compile options to a target.
.. code-block:: cmake
target_compile_options(<target> [BEFORE]
<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items1...]
[<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items2...] ...])
Adds options to the :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_OPTIONS` or
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS` target properties. These options
are used when compiling the given ``<target>``, which must have been
created by a command such as :command:`add_executable` or
:command:`add_library` and must not be an :ref:`ALIAS target <Alias Targets>`.
Arguments
^^^^^^^^^
If ``BEFORE`` is specified, the content will be prepended to the property
instead of being appended.
The ``INTERFACE``, ``PUBLIC`` and ``PRIVATE`` keywords are required to
specify the :ref:`scope <Target Usage Requirements>` of the following arguments.
``PRIVATE`` and ``PUBLIC`` items will populate the :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_OPTIONS`
property of ``<target>``. ``PUBLIC`` and ``INTERFACE`` items will populate the
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS` property of ``<target>``.
The following arguments specify compile options. Repeated calls for the same
``<target>`` append items in the order called.
.. versionadded:: 3.11
Allow setting ``INTERFACE`` items on :ref:`IMPORTED targets <Imported Targets>`.
Arguments to ``target_compile_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.
.. include:: OPTIONS_SHELL.txt

^^^^^^^^
This command can be used to add any options. However, for adding
preprocessor definitions and include directories it is recommended
to use the more specific commands :command:`target_compile_definitions`
and :command:`target_include_directories`.
For directory-wide settings, there is the command :command:`add_compile_options`.
For file-specific settings, there is the source file property :prop_sf:`COMPILE_OPTIONS`.
