| CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| Default value for the :prop_tgt:`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE` target property. |
| |
| This variable is used to initialize the |
| :prop_tgt:`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE` property on targets that |
| are not ``SHARED`` or ``MODULE`` library targets. |
| If set, its value is also used by the :command:`try_compile` command. |
| |
| The ``SHARED`` and ``MODULE`` library targets have by default position |
| independent code enabled regardless of this variable. To disable PIC on |
| these library types, only manually setting the target property disables it. |
