CMake/Modules/CheckSymbolExists.cmake

# - Check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro
# CHECK_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.
#
# 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).
# If the check needs to be done in C++, consider using CHECK_CXX_SYMBOL_EXISTS(),
# which does the same as CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS(), but in C++.
#
# 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
