CheckCXXCompilerFlag
------------------------

Check whether the CXX compiler supports a given flag.

.. command:: check_cxx_compiler_flag

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_cxx_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)

  Check that the ``<flag>`` is accepted by the compiler without
  a diagnostic.  Stores the result in an internal cache entry
  named ``<var>``.

A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did not
issue a diagnostic message when given the flag.  Whether the flag has any
effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this module.

.. note::
  Since the :command:`try_compile` command forwards flags from variables
  like :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS <CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS>`, unknown flags
  in such variables may cause a false negative for this check.
