CheckFunctionExists
-------------------

Check if a C function can be linked

.. command:: check_function_exists

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_function_exists(<function> <variable>)

  Checks that the ``<function>`` is provided by libraries on the system and store
  the result in a ``<variable>``, which will be created as an internal
  cache variable.

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``
  a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of macros to define (-DFOO=bar).
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES``
  a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of header search paths to pass to
  the compiler.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS``
  a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of options to add to the link command.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES``
  a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of libraries to add to the link
  command. See policy :policy:`CMP0075`.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET``
  execute quietly without messages.

.. note::

  Prefer using :Module:`CheckSymbolExists` instead of this module,
  for the following reasons:

  * ``check_function_exists()`` can't detect functions that are inlined
    in headers or specified as a macro.

  * ``check_function_exists()`` can't detect anything in the 32-bit
    versions of the Win32 API, because of a mismatch in calling conventions.

  * ``check_function_exists()`` only verifies linking, it does not verify
    that the function is declared in system headers.
