| LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| This is a boolean option that when set to ``TRUE`` will automatically run |
| ``ldd -r -u`` on the target after it is linked. In addition, the linker flag |
| ``-Wl,--no-as-needed`` will be passed to the target with the link command so |
| that all libraries specified on the command line will be linked into the |
| target. This will result in the link producing a list of libraries that |
| provide no symbols used by this target but are being linked to it. |
| This is only applicable to executable and shared library targets and |
| will only work when ld and ldd accept the flags used. |
| |
| This property is initialized by the value of |
| the :variable:`CMAKE_LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE` variable if it is set |
| when a target is created. |
