For some compilers, this results in adding a +flag such as ``-std=gnu11`` to the compile line. For compilers that +have no notion of a C standard level, such as all versions of +MSVC known as of this version of CMake, this has no effect. + +Supported values are ``90``, ``99`` and ``11``. + +If the value requested does not result in a compile flag being added for +the compiler in use, a previous standard flag will be added instead. This +means that using: + +.. code-block:: cmake + + set_property(TARGET tgt PROPERTY C_STANDARD 11) + +with a compiler which does not support ``-std=gnu11`` or an equivalent +flag will not result in an error or warning, but will instead add the +``-std=gnu99`` or ``-std=gnu90`` flag if supported. This "decay" behavior may +be controlled with the :prop_tgt:`C_STANDARD_REQUIRED` target property. +Additionally, the :prop_tgt:`C_EXTENSIONS` target property may be used to +control whether compiler-specific extensions are enabled on a per-target basis. + +See the :manual:`cmake-compile-features(7)` manual for information on +compile features and a list of supported compilers. + +This property is initialized by the value of +the :variable:`CMAKE_C_STANDARD` variable if it is set when a target +is created. |
