# CheckCXXSymbolExists
# --------------------
#
# Check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro in C++
#
# CHECK_CXX_SYMBOL_EXISTS(<symbol> <files> <variable>)
#
# Check that the <symbol> is available after including given header
# <files> and store the result in a <variable>. Specify the list of
# files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list.
# CHECK_CXX_SYMBOL_EXISTS() can be used to check in C++ files, as
# opposed to CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS(), which works only for C.
#
# If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is considered
# available and assumed to work. If the header files declare the symbol
# as a function or variable then the symbol must also be available for
# linking. If the symbol is a type or enum value it will not be
# recognized (consider using CheckTypeSize or CheckCSourceCompiles).
#
# The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
# the way the check is run:
#
# ::
#
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
