| CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDS_USE_LINKER |
| ----------------------------- |
| |
| .. versionadded:: 3.27 |
| |
| For the :ref:`Makefile <Makefile Generators>` and |
| :ref:`Ninja <Ninja Generators>` generators, link dependencies are now, for a |
| selection of linkers, generated by the linker itself. By defining this |
| variable with value ``FALSE``, you can deactivate this feature. |
| |
| This feature is also deactivated if the :prop_tgt:`LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED` |
| target property is true. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| CMake version |release| defaults this variable to ``FALSE`` because |
| GNU binutils linkers (``ld``, ``ld.bfd``, ``ld.gold``) generate spurious |
| dependencies on temporary files when LTO is enabled. See `GNU bug 30568`_. |
