# - Check if the source code provided in the SOURCE argument compiles and runs.
# CHECK_C_SOURCE_RUNS(SOURCE VAR)
# - macro which checks if the source code runs
#  SOURCE   - source code to try to compile
#  VAR      - variable to store the result, 1 for success, empty for failure
#
# 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
