# OBJCXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED

Added in version 3.16.

Boolean describing whether the value of `OBJCXX_STANDARD` is a requirement.

If this property is set to `ON`, then the value of the `OBJCXX_STANDARD` target property is treated as a requirement. If this property is `OFF` or unset, the `OBJCXX_STANDARD` target property is treated as optional and may "decay" to a previous standard if the requested is not available.

If the property is not set, and the project has set the `CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED`, the value of `CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED` is set for `OBJCXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED`.

See the `cmake-compile-features(7)` manual for information on compile features and a list of supported compilers.

This property is initialized by the value of the `CMAKE_OBJCXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED` variable if it is set when a target is created.
