source_groupΒΆ
Define a grouping for source files in IDE project generation. There are two different signatures to create source groups.
source_group(<name> [FILES <src>...] [REGULAR_EXPRESSION <regex>])
source_group(TREE <root> [PREFIX <prefix>] [FILES <src>...])
Defines a group into which sources will be placed in project files. This is intended to set up file tabs in Visual Studio. The options are:
TREE
CMake will automatically detect, from
<src>
files paths, source groups it needs to create, to keep structure of source groups analogically to the actual files and directories structure in the project. Paths of<src>
files will be cut to be relative to<root>
.PREFIX
Source group and files located directly in
<root>
path, will be placed in<prefix>
source groups.FILES
Any source file specified explicitly will be placed in group
<name>
. Relative paths are interpreted with respect to the current source directory.REGULAR_EXPRESSION
Any source file whose name matches the regular expression will be placed in group
<name>
.
If a source file matches multiple groups, the last group that
explicitly lists the file with FILES
will be favored, if any.
If no group explicitly lists the file, the last group whose
regular expression matches the file will be favored.
The <name>
of the group and <prefix>
argument may contain backslashes
to specify subgroups:
source_group(outer\\inner ...)
source_group(TREE <root> PREFIX sources\\inc ...)
For backwards compatibility, the short-hand signature
source_group(<name> <regex>)
is equivalent to
source_group(<name> REGULAR_EXPRESSION <regex>)
