I have a solution with a large number (120+) of projects. I'd like to enable stdc++-17 in all of them without changing each individual project. We are already using a property sheet. I just can't figure out how to add the flag with the proper nesting. I believe the proper syntax for the flag is as below, but not sure what it should be nested inside:
<PropertyGroup>
<LanguageStandard>stdcpp17</LanguageStandard>
</PropertyGroup>
This does not work. Does anyone the proper way to do this?
That is a compiler setting, which should go into a ClCompile
section. To have it apply to all configurations, leave the section not qualified with any additional Condition
.
