CheckCXXSymbolExists
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro in ``C++``.
|
|
|
|
.. command:: check_cxx_symbol_exists
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
|
|
|
check_cxx_symbol_exists(<symbol> <files> <variable>)
|
|
|
|
Check that the ``<symbol>`` is available after including given header
|
|
``<files>`` and store the result in a ``<variable>``. Specify the list of
|
|
files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list.
|
|
``check_cxx_symbol_exists()`` can be used to check for symbols as seen by
|
|
the C++ compiler, as opposed to :command:`check_symbol_exists`, which always
|
|
uses the ``C`` compiler.
|
|
|
|
If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is considered
|
|
available and assumed to work. If the header files declare the symbol
|
|
as a function or variable then the symbol must also be available for
|
|
linking. If the symbol is a type, enum value, or C++ template it will
|
|
not be recognized: consider using the :module:`CheckTypeSize`
|
|
or :module:`CheckCXXSourceCompiles` module instead.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This command is unreliable when ``<symbol>`` is (potentially) an overloaded
|
|
function. Since there is no reliable way to predict whether a given function
|
|
in the system environment may be defined as an overloaded function or may be
|
|
an overloaded function on other systems or will become so in the future, it
|
|
is generally advised to use the :module:`CheckCXXSourceCompiles` module for
|
|
checking any function symbol (unless somehow you surely know the checked
|
|
function is not overloaded on other systems or will not be so in the
|
|
future).
|
|
|
|
The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
|
|
the way the check is run:
|
|
|
|
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS``
|
|
string of compile command line flags.
|
|
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS``
|
|
a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of macros to define (-DFOO=bar).
|
|
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES``
|
|
a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of header search paths to pass to
|
|
the compiler.
|
|
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS``
|
|
a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of options to add to the link command.
|
|
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES``
|
|
a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of libraries to add to the link
|
|
command. See policy :policy:`CMP0075`.
|
|
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET``
|
|
execute quietly without messages.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
|
|
|
include(CheckCXXSymbolExists)
|
|
|
|
# Check for macro SEEK_SET
|
|
check_cxx_symbol_exists(SEEK_SET "cstdio" HAVE_SEEK_SET)
|
|
# Check for function std::fopen
|
|
check_cxx_symbol_exists(std::fopen "cstdio" HAVE_STD_FOPEN)
|
|
#]=======================================================================]
|
|
|
|
include_guard(GLOBAL)
|
|
include(CheckSymbolExists)
|
|
|
|
macro(CHECK_CXX_SYMBOL_EXISTS SYMBOL FILES VARIABLE)
|
|
__CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS_IMPL("${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}${CMAKE_FILES_DIRECTORY}/CMakeTmp/CheckSymbolExists.cxx" "${SYMBOL}" "${FILES}" "${VARIABLE}" )
|
|
endmacro()
