CheckPrototypeDefinition

Check if the prototype we expect is correct.

check_prototype_definition

check_prototype_definition(FUNCTION PROTOTYPE RETURN HEADER VARIABLE)

FUNCTION - The name of the function (used to check if prototype exists)
PROTOTYPE- The prototype to check.
RETURN - The return value of the function.
HEADER - The header files required.
VARIABLE - The variable to store the result.
           Will be created as an internal cache variable.

Example:

check_prototype_definition(getpwent_r
 "struct passwd *getpwent_r(struct passwd *src, char *buf, int buflen)"
 "NULL"
 "unistd.h;pwd.h"
 SOLARIS_GETPWENT_R)

The following variables may be set before calling this function to modify the way the check is run:

CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS

String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS

A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form -DFOO or -DFOO=bar. A definition for the name specified by <resultVar> will also be added automatically.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES

A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directory property will be ignored.

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS

Added in version 3.14.

A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES

A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES

Added in version 3.31.

A ;-list of libraries search paths to pass to the linker (see try_compile() for further details).

CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET

Added in version 3.1.

If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.
