The result will be stored in the internal cache variable specified by ````, with a boolean true value for success and boolean false for failure. If ``FAIL_REGEX`` is provided, then failure is determined by checking if anything in the compiler output matches any of the specified regular expressions. By default, the test source file will be given a file extension that matches the requested language. The ``SRC_EXT`` option can be used to override this with ``.`` instead. The ```` must contain a valid main program. For example: .. code-block:: cmake check_source_compiles(C "#include #include noreturn void f(){ exit(0); } int main(void) { f(); return 1; }" HAVE_NORETURN) check_source_compiles(Fortran "program test error stop end program" HAVE_ERROR_STOP) The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the variable named by ````. Every subsequent CMake run will re-use this cached value rather than performing the check again, even if the ```` changes. In order to force the check to be re-evaluated, the variable named by ```` must be manually removed from the cache. The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following variables prior to calling ``check_source_compiles()``: .. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.txt .. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS.txt .. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES.txt .. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS.txt .. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.txt .. include:: /module/CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET.txt #]=======================================================================] include_guard(GLOBAL) include(Internal/CheckSourceCompiles) function(CHECK_SOURCE_COMPILES _lang _source _var) cmake_check_source_compiles(${_lang} "${_source}" ${_var} ${ARGN}) endfunction()
