\versionlessCMakeCommandsNote qt6_wrap_cpp()

\section1 Description

Creates rules for calling the \l{moc}{Meta-Object Compiler (moc)} on the given
source files. For each input file, an output file is generated in the build
directory. The paths of the generated files are added to \c{<VAR>}.

\note This is a low-level macro. See the \l{CMake AUTOMOC Documentation} for a
more convenient way to let source files be processed with \c{moc}.

\section1 Arguments

You can set an explicit \c{TARGET}. This will make sure that the target
properties \c{INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES} and \c{COMPILE_DEFINITIONS} are also used
when scanning the source files with \c{moc}.

You can set additional \c{OPTIONS} that should be added to the \c{moc} calls.
You can find possible options in the \l{moc}{moc documentation}.

The \c{OPTIONS} can evaluate generator expressions when \c{TARGET} is set.
\note If the \c{OPTIONS} include both generator expressions and special
characters, use variables to implement them. For example, use \c{$<ANGLE-R>},
\c{$<COMMA>} and \c{$<SEMICOLON>} instead of \c{>}, \c{,} and \c{:}. Otherwise,
the generator expression will not be evaluated correctly. \c {OPTIONS} are
wrapped in generator expressions, so you must escape special characters in
them.

\c{DEPENDS} allows you to add additional dependencies for recreation of the
generated files. This is useful when the sources have implicit dependencies,
like code for a Qt plugin that includes a \c{.json} file using the
Q_PLUGIN_METADATA() macro.

\section1 Examples

\snippet cmake-macros/examples.cmake qt_wrap_cpp_1

In the following example, the generator expressions passed to \c{OPTIONS}
will be evaluated since \c{TARGET} is set. The argument is specified this way to
avoid syntax errors in the generator expressions.

\snippet cmake-macros/examples.cmake qt_wrap_cpp_2

The following example uses \l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_compile_definitions.html}{target_compile_definitions}
to set \l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/COMPILE_DEFINITIONS.html}{COMPILE_DEFINITIONS} which will be added to
\c{OPTIONS}.
