INSTALL_OBJECT_NAME
Added in version 4.2.
Set the installed object name (without the object extension) of the source file. An empty string value disables custom object naming. The value must be a relative path, and may not include special directory components (e.g., ..).
Note that the object name might not be used as-is in some INSTALL_OBJECT_NAME_STRATEGY strategies. It may be changed as the strategy requires to fulfill its goals.
This property supports generator expressions.
Note
No collision resistance within a target is performed by CMake. When using this property, collisions must be avoided in the project code. CMake has a number of source files it generates that also create object files that may collide with a given custom name. These include:
- Generated PCH source files (
cmake_pch) - Generated Unity compilation files (
unity_...) - Qt autogen sources (
moc_compilations.cpp)
