1CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY
2--------------------------
3
4.. versionadded:: 3.15
5
6Select the MSVC runtime library for use by compilers targeting the MSVC ABI.
7This variable is used to initialize the :prop_tgt:`MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`
8property on all targets as they are created.  It is also propagated by
9calls to the :command:`try_compile` command into the test project.
10
11The allowed values are:
12
13.. include:: ../prop_tgt/MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY-VALUES.txt
14
15Use :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` to
16support per-configuration specification.  For example, the code:
17
18.. code-block:: cmake
19
20  set(CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>")
21
22selects for all following targets a multi-threaded statically-linked runtime
23library with or without debug information depending on the configuration.
24
25If this variable is not set then the :prop_tgt:`MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` target
26property will not be set automatically.  If that property is not set then
27CMake uses the default value ``MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>DLL``
28to select a MSVC runtime library.
29
30.. note::
31
32  This variable has effect only when policy :policy:`CMP0091` is set to ``NEW``
33  prior to the first :command:`project` or :command:`enable_language` command
34  that enables a language using a compiler targeting the MSVC ABI.
