# - Check if the given C++ source code compiles.
# CHECK_CXX_SOURCE_COMPILES(<code> <var> [FAIL_REGEX <fail-regex>])
#  <code>       - source code to try to compile
#  <var>        - variable to store whether the source code compiled
#  <fail-regex> - fail if test output matches this regex
# The following variables may be set before calling this macro to

#  CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
#  CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
