+target_precompile_headers
+-------------------------
+
+Add a list of header files to precompile.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ target_precompile_headers(<target>
+ <INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [header1...]
+ [<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [header2...] ...])
+
+Adds header files to :prop_tgt:`PRECOMPILE_HEADERS` or
+:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_PRECOMPILE_HEADERS` target properties.
+
+Precompiling header files can speed up compilation by creating a partially
+processed version of some header files, and then using that version during
+compilations rather than repeatedly parsing the original headers.
+
+The named ``<target>`` must have been created by a command such as
+:command:`add_executable` or :command:`add_library` and must not be an
+:ref:`ALIAS target <Alias Targets>`.
+
+The ``INTERFACE``, ``PUBLIC`` and ``PRIVATE`` keywords are required to
+specify the scope of the following arguments. ``PRIVATE`` and ``PUBLIC``
+items will populate the :prop_tgt:`PRECOMPILE_HEADERS` property of
+``<target>``. ``PUBLIC`` and ``INTERFACE`` items will populate the
+:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_PRECOMPILE_HEADERS` property of ``<target>``.
+(:ref:`IMPORTED targets <Imported Targets>` only support ``INTERFACE`` items.)
+Repeated calls for the same ``<target>`` append items in the order called.
+
+Arguments to ``target_precompile_headers`` may use "generator expressions"
+with the syntax ``$<...>``.
+See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for available
+expressions. See the :manual:`cmake-compile-features(7)` manual for
+information on compile features and a list of supported compilers.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ target_precompile_headers(<target>
+ PUBLIC
+ "project_header.h"
+ PRIVATE
+ <unordered_map>
+ )
+
+Header files will be double quoted if they are not specified with double
+quotes or angle brackets.
+
+See Also
+^^^^^^^^
+
+For disabling precompile headers for specific targets there is the
+property :prop_tgt:`DISABLE_PRECOMPILE_HEADERS`.
+
+For skipping certain source files there is the source file property
+:prop_sf:`SKIP_PRECOMPILE_HEADERS`.

+SKIP_PRECOMPILE_HEADERS
+-----------------------
+
+Is this source file skipped by :prop_tgt:`PRECOMPILE_HEADERS` feature.
+
+This property helps with build problems that one would run into
+when using the :prop_tgt:`PRECOMPILE_HEADERS` feature.
+
+One example would be the usage of Objective-C (*.m) files, and
+Objective-C++ (*.mm) files, which lead to compilation failure
+because they are treated (in case of Ninja / Makefile generator)
+as C, and CXX respectively. The precompile headers are not
+compatible between languages.
