CheckCCompilerFlag
------------------
Check whether the C compiler supports a given flag.
.. command:: check_c_compiler_flag
.. code-block:: cmake
check_c_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)
Check that the ``<flag>`` is accepted by the compiler without
a diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry
named ``<var>``.
This command temporarily sets the ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS`` variable
and calls the ``check_c_source_compiles`` macro from the
:module:`CheckCSourceCompiles` module. See documentation of that
module for a listing of variables that can otherwise modify the build.
A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did not
issue a diagnostic message when given the 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_C_FLAGS <CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS>`, unknown flags
in such variables may cause a false negative for this check.
