COMMON_LANGUAGE_RUNTIME¶

New in version 3.12.

By setting this target property, the target is configured to build with C++/CLI support.

The Visual Studio generator defines the clr parameter depending on the value of the COMMON_LANGUAGE_RUNTIME target property:

Not Set (default)

Native C++.

"" (set but empty)

Mixed unmanaged/managed C++ using .NET Framework.

netcore

New in version 3.26.

Mixed unmanaged/managed C++ using .NET Core.

This required VS 2019's v142 toolset or higher.

pure

safe

This property is only evaluated Visual Studio Generators for VS 2010 and above.

To be able to build managed C++ targets with VS 2017 and above the component C++/CLI support must be installed, which may not be done by default.
