AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES¶
A ;-list list of macro names used by
AUTOMOC to determine if a C++ file needs to be processed by moc.
This property is only used if the AUTOMOC property is ON
for this target.
When running AUTOMOC, CMake searches for the strings listed in
AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES in C++ source and header files.
If any of the strings is found
- as the first non space string on a new line or
- as the first non space string after a
{on a new line,
then the file will be processed by moc.
By default AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES is initialized from
CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES.
See the cmake-qt(7) manual for more information on using CMake
with Qt.
Example¶
In this case the Q_OBJECT macro is hidden inside another macro
called CUSTOM_MACRO. To let CMake know that source files that contain
CUSTOM_MACRO need to be moc processed, we call:
set_property(TARGET tgt APPEND PROPERTY AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES "CUSTOM_MACRO")
