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

This module provides a command to check whether a C function exists.

Load this module in a CMake project with:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(CheckFunctionExists)

Commands
^^^^^^^^

This module provides the following command:

.. command:: check_function_exists

  Checks once whether a C function can be linked from system libraries:

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_function_exists(<function> <variable>)

  This command checks whether the ``<function>`` is provided by libraries
  on the system, and stores the result in an internal cache variable
  ``<variable>``.

  .. note::

    Prefer using :module:`CheckSymbolExists` or :module:`CheckSourceCompiles`
    instead of this command, for the following reasons:

    * ``check_function_exists()`` can't detect functions that are inlined
      in headers or defined as preprocessor macros.

    * ``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.

  .. rubric:: Variables Affecting the Check

  The following variables may be set before calling this command to modify
  the way the check is run:

  .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.rst

  .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS.rst

  .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES.rst

  .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS.rst

  .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.rst

  .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES.rst

  .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET.rst

Examples
^^^^^^^^

Example: Basic Usage
""""""""""""""""""""

In the following example, a check is performed to determine whether the
linker sees the C function ``fopen()``, and the result is stored in the
``HAVE_FOPEN`` internal cache variable:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(CheckFunctionExists)

  check_function_exists(fopen HAVE_FOPEN)

Example: Missing Declaration
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

As noted above, the :module:`CheckSymbolExists` module is preferred for
checking C functions, since it also verifies whether the function is
declared or defined as a macro.  In the following example, this module is
used to check an edge case where a function may not be declared in system
headers.  For instance, on macOS, the ``fdatasync()`` function may be
available in the C library, but its declaration is not provided in the
``unistd.h`` system header.

.. code-block:: cmake
  :caption: ``CMakeLists.txt``

  include(CheckFunctionExists)
  include(CheckSymbolExists)

  check_symbol_exists(fdatasync "unistd.h" HAVE_FDATASYNC)

  # Check if fdatasync() is available in the C library.
  if(NOT HAVE_FDATASYNC)
    check_function_exists(fdatasync HAVE_FDATASYNC_WITHOUT_DECL)
  endif()

In such a case, the project can provide its own declaration if missing:

.. code-block:: c
  :caption: ``example.c``

  #ifdef HAVE_FDATASYNC_WITHOUT_DECL
    extern int fdatasync(int);
  #endif

^^^^^^^^

* The :module:`CheckSymbolExists` module to check whether a C symbol exists.
* The :module:`CheckSourceCompiles` module to check whether a source code
  can be compiled.
* The :module:`CheckFortranFunctionExists` module to check whether a
  Fortran function exists.
