\section1 Description
\include includes/qt_wrap_cpp.qdocinc 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>}.
This command was introduced in Qt 5.15. You can use \l qt5_wrap_cpp in older versions of Qt.
\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
\include includes/qt_wrap_cpp.qdocinc 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}.
\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.

Qt provides plugin types such as \c imageformats, \c platforms,

If the command isn't used the target automatically links against
a sane set of default plugins, for each Qt module that the target is linked
against. For more information, see
\l{CMake target_link_libraries Documentation}{target_link_libraries}.
Each plugin comes with a C++ stub file that automatically
initializes the plugin. Consequently, any target that links against a plugin
has this C++ file added to its \c SOURCES.
\note This command imports plugins from static Qt builds only.
On shared builds, it does nothing.
