4List of options to pass to the compiler.
5
6This property holds a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>`
7of options specified so far for its target.  Use the
8:command:`target_compile_options` command to append more options.
9The options will be added after after flags in the
10:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS` and :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>`
11variables, but before those propagated from dependencies by the
12:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS` property.
13
14This property is initialized by the :prop_dir:`COMPILE_OPTIONS` directory
15property when a target is created, and is used by the generators to set
16the options for the compiler.

18Contents of ``COMPILE_OPTIONS`` may use "generator expressions" with the
