CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES — CMake 3.30.5 Documentation

# CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES

New in version 3.28.

`CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES` is a boolean specifying whether CMake will scan the source for C++ module dependencies. See also the `CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES` for target-wide settings.

When this property is set `ON`, CMake will scan the source 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 source at build time. When this property is unset, the `CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES` property is consulted.

Note that scanning is only performed if C++20 or higher is enabled for the target and the source uses the `CXX` language. Scanning for modules in sources belonging to file sets of type `CXX_MODULES` is always performed.
