CheckPrototypeDefinition
------------------------

Check if a ``C`` function has the expected prototype.

.. command:: check_prototype_definition

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_prototype_definition(<function> <prototype> <return> <headers> <variable>)

  ``<function>``
    The name of the function whose prototype is being checked.
  ``<prototype>``
    The expected prototype of the function, provided as a string.
  ``<return>``
    The return value of the function.  This will be used as a return value in
    the function definition body of the generated test program to verify that
    the function's return type matches the expected type.
  ``<headers>``
    A :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of header file
    names required for checking the function prototype.
  ``<variable>``
    The name of the variable to store the check result.  This variable will be
    created as an internal cache variable.

  This command generates a test program and verifies that it builds without
  errors.  The generated test program includes specified ``<headers>``, defines
  a function with given literal ``<prototype>`` and ``<return>`` value and
  then uses the specified ``<function>``.  The simplified test program can be
  illustrated as:

  .. code-block:: c

    #include <headers>
    // ...
    <prototype> { return <return>; }
    int main(...) { ...<function>()... }

The following variables may be set before calling this function 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
^^^^^^^^

Checking if the ``getpwent_r()`` function on Solaris/illumos systems has the
expected prototype:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(CheckPrototypeDefinition)

  check_prototype_definition(
    getpwent_r
    "struct passwd *getpwent_r(struct passwd *src, char *buf, int buflen)"
    "NULL"
    "unistd.h;pwd.h"
    HAVE_SOLARIS_GETPWENT_R
  )
