CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE — CMake 3.10.2 Documentation

# CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE

Preference value for linker language selection.

The “linker language” for executable, shared library, and module targets is the language whose compiler will invoke the linker. The `LINKER_LANGUAGE` target property sets the language explicitly. Otherwise, the linker language is that whose linker preference value is highest among languages compiled and linked into the target. See also the `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINKER_PREFERENCE_PROPAGATES` variable.
