| POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Whether to create a position-independent target |
| |
| The ``POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE`` property determines whether position |
| independent executables or libraries will be created. This |
| property is ``True`` by default for ``SHARED`` and ``MODULE`` library |
| targets. For other targets, this property is initialized by the value |
| of the :variable:`CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE` variable if it is set |
| when the target is created, or ``False`` otherwise. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| For executable targets, the link step is controlled by the :policy:`CMP0083` |
| policy and the :module:`CheckPIESupported` module. |
