CMAKE_VS_WINRT_BY_DEFAULTΒΆ
Inform Visual Studio Generators for VS 2010 and above that the
target platform enables WinRT compilation by default and it needs to
be explicitly disabled if /ZW
or VS_WINRT_COMPONENT
is
omitted (as opposed to enabling it when either of those options is
present)
This makes cmake configuration consistent in terms of WinRT among platforms - if you did not enable the WinRT compilation explicitly, it will be disabled (by either not enabling it or explicitly disabling it)
Note: WinRT compilation is always explicitly disabled for C language source files, even if it is expliclty enabled for a project
This variable is meant to be set by a
toolchain file
for such platforms.
