Load this module in a CMake project with: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckFunctionExists) Commands ^^^^^^^^ This module provides the following command: .. command:: check_function_exists Checks once whether a C function can be linked from system libraries: .. code-block:: cmake check_function_exists( ) This command checks whether the ```` is provided by libraries on the system, and stores the result in an internal cache variable ````. .. note:: Prefer using :module:`CheckSymbolExists` or :module:`CheckSourceCompiles` instead of this command, for the following reasons: * ``check_function_exists()`` can't detect functions that are inlined in headers or defined as preprocessor macros. * ``check_function_exists()`` can't detect anything in the 32-bit versions of the Win32 API, because of a mismatch in calling conventions. * ``check_function_exists()`` only verifies linking, it does not verify that the function is declared in system headers. .. rubric:: Variables Affecting the Check The following variables may be set before calling this command to modify the way the check is run: .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET.rst Examples ^^^^^^^^ Example: Basic Usage """""""""""""""""""" In the following example, a check is performed to determine whether the linker sees the C function ``fopen()``, and the result is stored in the ``HAVE_FOPEN`` internal cache variable: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckFunctionExists) check_function_exists(fopen HAVE_FOPEN) Example: Missing Declaration """""""""""""""""""""""""""" As noted above, the :module:`CheckSymbolExists` module is preferred for checking C functions, since it also verifies whether the function is declared or defined as a macro. In the following example, this module is used to check an edge case where a function may not be declared in system headers. For instance, on macOS, the ``fdatasync()`` function may be available in the C library, but its declaration is not provided in the ``unistd.h`` system header. .. code-block:: cmake :caption: ``CMakeLists.txt`` include(CheckFunctionExists) include(CheckSymbolExists) check_symbol_exists(fdatasync "unistd.h" HAVE_FDATASYNC) # Check if fdatasync() is available in the C library. if(NOT HAVE_FDATASYNC) check_function_exists(fdatasync HAVE_FDATASYNC_WITHOUT_DECL) endif() In such a case, the project can provide its own declaration if missing: .. code-block:: c :caption: ``example.c`` #ifdef HAVE_FDATASYNC_WITHOUT_DECL extern int fdatasync(int); #endif See Also ^^^^^^^^ * The :module:`CheckSymbolExists` module to check whether a C symbol exists. * The :module:`CheckSourceCompiles` module to check whether a source code can be compiled. * The :module:`CheckFortranFunctionExists` module to check whether a Fortran function exists. #]=======================================================================] include_guard(GLOBAL) macro(CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS FUNCTION VARIABLE) if(NOT DEFINED "${VARIABLE}" OR "x${${VARIABLE}}" STREQUAL "x${VARIABLE}") set(MACRO_CHECK_FUNCTION_DEFINITIONS "-DCHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS=${FUNCTION} ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS}") if(NOT CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET) message(CHECK_START "Looking for ${FUNCTION}") endif() if(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS) set(CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_LINK_OPTIONS LINK_OPTIONS ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS}) else() set(CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_LINK_OPTIONS) endif() if(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES) set(CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_LIBRARIES LINK_LIBRARIES ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES}) else() set(CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_LIBRARIES) endif() if(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES) set(_CFE_LINK_DIRECTORIES "-DLINK_DIRECTORIES:STRING=${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES}") else() set(_CFE_LINK_DIRECTORIES) endif() if(CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES) set(CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_INCLUDES "-DINCLUDE_DIRECTORIES:STRING=${CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES}") else() set(CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_INCLUDES) endif() if(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LOADED) set(_cfe_source CheckFunctionExists.c) elseif(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LOADED) set(_cfe_source CheckFunctionExists.cxx) else() message(FATAL_ERROR "CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS needs either C or CXX language enabled") endif() try_compile(${VARIABLE} SOURCE_FROM_FILE "${_cfe_source}" "${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/CheckFunctionExists.c" COMPILE_DEFINITIONS ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS} ${CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_LINK_OPTIONS} ${CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_LIBRARIES} CMAKE_FLAGS -DCOMPILE_DEFINITIONS:STRING=${MACRO_CHECK_FUNCTION_DEFINITIONS} "${CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS_ADD_INCLUDES}" "${_CFE_LINK_DIRECTORIES}" ) unset(_cfe_source) unset(_CFE_LINK_DIRECTORIES) if(${VARIABLE}) set(${VARIABLE} 1 CACHE INTERNAL "Have function ${FUNCTION}") if(NOT CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET) message(CHECK_PASS "found") endif() else() if(NOT CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET) message(CHECK_FAIL "not found") endif() set(${VARIABLE} "" CACHE INTERNAL "Have function ${FUNCTION}") endif() endif() endmacro()
