<LANG>_CPPLINT
--------------

.. versionadded:: 3.8

This property is supported only when ``<LANG>`` is ``C`` or ``CXX``.

Specify a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` containing a command line
for the ``cpplint`` style checker.  The :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the
:generator:`Ninja` generator will run ``cpplint`` along with the compiler
and report any problems.

This property is initialized by the value of the
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_CPPLINT` variable if it is set when a target is
created.

.. versionadded:: 3.27

  This property supports
  :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.

.. versionadded:: 3.27

  :prop_sf:`SKIP_LINTING` can be set on individual source files to exclude
  them from the linting tools defined by ``<LANG>_CPPLINT``,
  :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY`, :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_CPPCHECK`, and
  :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE`.  When :prop_sf:`SKIP_LINTING` is
  set to true on a source file, those tools will not be run on that specific
  file.
