Load this module in a CMake project with: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckIncludeFile) Commands ^^^^^^^^ This module provides the following command: .. command:: check_include_file Checks once whether a header file exists and can be included in C code: .. code-block:: cmake check_include_file( []) .. rubric:: The arguments are: ```` A header file to be checked. ```` The name of the variable to store the result of the check. This variable will be created as an internal cache variable. ```` (Optional) A :ref:`semicolon-separated list ` of additional compilation flags to be added to the check. Alternatively, flags can be also specified with the ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS`` variable below. .. 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 .. versionadded:: 3.12 The ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`` variable, if policy :policy:`CMP0075` is set to ``NEW``. Examples ^^^^^^^^ Example: Checking C Header """""""""""""""""""""""""" Checking whether the C header ```` exists and storing the check result in the ``HAVE_UNISTD_H`` cache variable: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckIncludeFile) check_include_file(unistd.h HAVE_UNISTD_H) Example: Isolated Check """"""""""""""""""""""" In the following example, this module is used in combination with the :module:`CMakePushCheckState` module to temporarily modify the required compile definitions (via ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS``) and verify whether the C header ```` is available. The result is stored in the internal cache variable ``HAVE_UCONTEXT_H``. For example, on macOS, the ``ucontext`` API is deprecated, and headers may be hidden unless certain feature macros are defined. In particular, defining ``_XOPEN_SOURCE`` (without a value) can expose the necessary symbols without enabling broader POSIX or SUS (Single Unix Specification) features (values 500 or greater). .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckIncludeFile) include(CMakePushCheckState) cmake_push_check_state(RESET) if(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "Darwin") set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -D_XOPEN_SOURCE) endif() check_include_file(ucontext.h HAVE_UCONTEXT_H) cmake_pop_check_state() See Also ^^^^^^^^ * The :module:`CheckIncludeFileCXX` module to check for single C++ header. * The :module:`CheckIncludeFiles` module to check for one or more C or C++ headers at once. #]=======================================================================] include_guard(GLOBAL) macro(CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE INCLUDE VARIABLE) if(NOT DEFINED "${VARIABLE}") if(CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES) set(CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_C_INCLUDE_DIRS "-DINCLUDE_DIRECTORIES=${CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES}") else() set(CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_C_INCLUDE_DIRS) endif() set(MACRO_CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_FLAGS ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS}) set(CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_VAR ${INCLUDE}) file(READ ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/CheckIncludeFile.c.in _CIF_SOURCE_CONTENT) string(CONFIGURE "${_CIF_SOURCE_CONTENT}" _CIF_SOURCE_CONTENT) if(NOT CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET) message(CHECK_START "Looking for ${INCLUDE}") endif() if(${ARGC} EQUAL 3) set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_SAVE ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS}) string(APPEND CMAKE_C_FLAGS " ${ARGV2}") endif() set(_CIF_LINK_OPTIONS) if(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS) set(_CIF_LINK_OPTIONS LINK_OPTIONS ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS}) endif() set(_CIF_LINK_LIBRARIES "") if(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES) cmake_policy(GET CMP0075 _CIF_CMP0075 PARENT_SCOPE # undocumented, do not use outside of CMake ) if("x${_CIF_CMP0075}x" STREQUAL "xNEWx") set(_CIF_LINK_LIBRARIES LINK_LIBRARIES ${CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES}) elseif("x${_CIF_CMP0075}x" STREQUAL "xOLDx") elseif(NOT _CIF_CMP0075_WARNED) set(_CIF_CMP0075_WARNED 1) message(AUTHOR_WARNING "Policy CMP0075 is not set: Include file check macros honor CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.
