As per my other email just now, you should be able to achieve what you want with the new CMake 3.8.0 release:
add_library(a_lib INTERFACE) target_compile_features(a_lib INTERFACE cxx_std_11) I did a quick test with the above just now and it seems to work as expected. You may, however, still want to set the CXX_EXTENSIONS target property (or set it project wide with CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS) to control whether or not compiler extensions are enabled too.
