Hi,
tldr; In a C++11 enabled CMake project, is try_compile() supposed to
*not* use -std=c++11 by default?
--- Long(er) version
If I use a minimal CMakeLists.txt file like the one below with gcc and
try_compile() compiles a source file containing C++11 features, I would
naively assume that try_compile() uses the -std=c++11 flag because
CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED is set to ON. However, this is not the case
(tested up to CMake 3.2.1).
The C++11 language standard and feature support in CMake is awesome, but
in order to get correct results for commands like try_compile,
check_cxx_compiler_flag, etc. I still need to manually set -std=c++11 to
CMAKE_FLAGS or similar command arguments / variables.
Is there some policy which could be set or a concrete reason for the
described behavior? How do people deal with try_compile checks in C++11
enabled projects?
Thanks,
Sascha
