17 Check once that the source supplied in ``<code>`` can be built. The result is
18 stored in the internal cache variable specified by ``<resultVar>``, with
19 boolean ``true`` for success and boolean ``false`` for failure.
21 If ``FAIL_REGEX`` is provided, then failure is determined by checking
22 if anything in the compiler output matches any of the specified regular
25 Internally, :command:`try_compile` is used to compile the source. If
26 :variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` is set to ``EXECUTABLE`` (default),
27 the source is compiled and linked as an executable program. If set to
28 ``STATIC_LIBRARY``, the source is compiled but not linked. In any case, all
29 functions must be declared as usual.
31 See also :command:`check_source_compiles` for a more general command syntax.
33 See also :command:`check_source_runs` to run compiled source.
35 The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the
36 following variables prior to calling ``check_c_source_compiles()``:
