SKIP_LINTING — CMake 4.2.6 Documentation

# SKIP_LINTING

Added in version 4.2.

Exclude all sources of a target from running configured linting tools.

When this boolean property is enabled on a target, C/C++ linting tools enabled for that target (e.g. `<LANG>_CPPLINT`, `<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY`, `<LANG>_CPPCHECK`, `<LANG>_ICSTAT` and `<LANG>_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE`) will not be invoked for source files compiled by the target. If the `SKIP_LINTING` source-file property is set on a specific source, it takes precedence over this target-wide property.

This is a convenience alternative to setting the `SKIP_LINTING` source file property individually on each source. If either the target's `SKIP_LINTING` or a source’s `SKIP_LINTING` is enabled, that source will be excluded from linting.

The property has no effect on targets that do not have sources.
