AUTOMOC is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle the Qt ``moc`` preprocessor automatically, i.e. without having to use the :module:`QT4_WRAP_CPP() <FindQt4>` or QT5_WRAP_CPP() macro. Currently Qt4 and Qt5 are -supported. When this property is set ``ON``, CMake will scan the -source files at build time and invoke moc accordingly. If an ``#include`` -statement like ``#include "moc_foo.cpp"`` is found, the ``Q_OBJECT`` class -declaration is expected in the header, and ``moc`` is run on the header -file. If an ``#include`` statement like ``#include "foo.moc"`` is found, then -a ``Q_OBJECT`` is expected in the current source file and ``moc`` is run on -the file itself. Additionally, header files with the same base name (like -``foo.h``) or ``_p`` appended to the base name (like ``foo_p.h``) are parsed -for ``Q_OBJECT`` macros, and if found, ``moc`` is also executed on those files. -``AUTOMOC`` checks multiple header alternative extensions, such as -``hpp``, ``hxx`` etc when searching for headers. -The resulting moc files, which are not included as shown above in any -of the source files are included in a generated -``<targetname>_automoc.cpp`` file, which is compiled as part of the -target.
