AUTOMOC ------- Should the target be processed with automoc (for Qt projects). 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() ` 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. A ``moc_foo.cpp`` file will be generated from the source's header into the ``/_autogen/include`` directory which is automatically added to the target's :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`. This allows the compiler to find the included ``moc_foo.cpp`` file regardless of the location the original source. However, if multiple source files in different directories do this then their generated moc files would collide. In this case a diagnostic will be issued. * 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 ``moc_compilation.cpp`` file, which is compiled as part of the target. This property is initialized by the value of the :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC` variable if it is set when a target is created. Additional command line options for moc can be set via the :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS` property. By enabling the :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC_RELAXED_MODE` variable the rules for searching the files which will be processed by moc can be relaxed. See the documentation for this variable for more details. The global property :prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER` can be used to group the automoc targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS. Source C++ files can be excluded from :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` processing by enabling :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOMOC` or the broader :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOGEN`. See the :manual:`cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake with Qt.
