This was mentioned recently in [Inquiring C++ standard from build target for analyzer config - possible regression, bug or missing documentation? - #7 by tambre](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/inquiring-c-standard-from-build-target-for-analyzer-config-possible-regression-bug-or-missing-documentation/7584/7). Right now, generator expressions are not supported in `<LANG>_CPPCHECK`, but as suggested in that other discussion, it likely wouldn’t be a big change to add that support if someone wanted to take a look at it.
