| CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES |
| -------------------- |
| |
| .. versionadded:: 3.26 |
| |
| ``CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES`` is a boolean specifying whether CMake will scan C++ |
| sources in the target for module dependencies. See also the |
| :prop_sf:`CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES` for per-source settings which, if set, |
| overrides the target-wide settings. |
| |
| This property is initialized by the value of the |
| :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES` variable if it is set when a target is |
| created. |
| |
| When this property is set ``ON`` or unset, CMake will scan the target's |
| ``CXX`` sources at build time and add module dependency information to the |
| compile line as necessary. When this property is set ``OFF``, CMake will not |
| scan the target's ``CXX`` sources at build time. |
| |
| Note that scanning is only performed if C++20 or higher is enabled for the |
| target. Scanning for modules in the target's sources belonging to file sets |
| of type ``CXX_MODULES`` and ``CXX_MODULES_HEADER_UNITS`` is always performed. |
| |
| .. note :: |
| |
| This setting is meaningful only when experimental support for C++ modules |
| has been enabled by the ``CMAKE_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX_MODULE_CMAKE_API`` gate. |
