CheckLinkerFlag
---------------
Check whether the compiler supports a given link flag.
.. command:: check_linker_flag
.. code-block:: cmake
check_linker_flag(<lang> <flag> <var>)
Check that the link ``<flag>`` is accepted by the ``<lang>`` compiler without
a diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry named ``<var>``.
This command temporarily sets the ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS`` variable
and calls the ``check_<lang>_source_compiles`` macro from the
``Check<lang>SourceCompiles`` module (:module:`CheckCSourceCompiles`,
:module:`CheckCSourceCompiles`, :module:`CheckCXXSourceCompiles`,
:module:`CheckOBJCSourceCompiles`, :module:`CheckOBJCXXSourceCompiles` or
:module:`CheckFortranSourceCompiles`). See documentation of these
modules for a listing of variables that can otherwise modify the build.
The underlying implementation rely on :prop_tgt:`LINK_OPTIONS` property to
check the specified flag. The ``LINKER:`` prefix, as described in
:command:`target_link_options` command, can be used as well.
A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did not
issue a diagnostic message when given the link 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_<LANG>_FLAGS`, unknown flags in such variables may
cause a false negative for this check.
