FindFLEX
--------

Find Fast Lexical Analyzer (Flex) executable and provides a macro
to generate custom build rules



The module defines the following variables:

::

  FLEX_FOUND - True is flex executable is found
  FLEX_EXECUTABLE - the path to the flex executable
  FLEX_VERSION - the version of flex
  FLEX_LIBRARIES - The flex libraries
  FLEX_INCLUDE_DIRS - The path to the flex headers



The minimum required version of flex can be specified using the
standard syntax, e.g.  :command:`find_package(FLEX 2.5.13)`



If flex is found on the system, the module provides the macro:

::

  FLEX_TARGET(Name FlexInput FlexOutput
              [COMPILE_FLAGS <string>]
              [DEFINES_FILE <string>]
              )

which creates a custom command to generate the ``FlexOutput`` file from
the ``FlexInput`` file.  Name is an alias used to get details of this custom
command.  If ``COMPILE_FLAGS`` option is specified, the next
parameter is added to the flex command line.

.. versionadded:: 3.5
  If flex is configured to
  output a header file, the ``DEFINES_FILE`` option may be used to specify its
  name.

.. versionchanged:: 3.17
  When :policy:`CMP0098` is set to ``NEW``, ``flex`` runs in the
  :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR` directory.

The macro defines the following variables:

::

  FLEX_${Name}_DEFINED - true is the macro ran successfully
  FLEX_${Name}_OUTPUTS - the source file generated by the custom rule, an
  alias for FlexOutput
  FLEX_${Name}_INPUT - the flex source file, an alias for ${FlexInput}
  FLEX_${Name}_OUTPUT_HEADER - the header flex output, if any.



Flex scanners often use tokens defined by Bison: the code generated
by Flex depends of the header generated by Bison.  This module also
defines a macro:

::

  ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(FlexTarget BisonTarget)

which adds the required dependency between a scanner and a parser
where ``FlexTarget`` and ``BisonTarget`` are the first parameters of
respectively ``FLEX_TARGET`` and ``BISON_TARGET`` macros.

::

  ====================================================================
  Example:



::

   find_package(BISON)
   find_package(FLEX)



::

   BISON_TARGET(MyParser parser.y ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.cpp)
   FLEX_TARGET(MyScanner lexer.l  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/lexer.cpp)
   ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(MyScanner MyParser)



::

   include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
   add_executable(Foo
      Foo.cc
      ${BISON_MyParser_OUTPUTS}
      ${FLEX_MyScanner_OUTPUTS}
   )
   target_link_libraries(Foo ${FLEX_LIBRARIES})
