# CheckIncludeFileCXX

Provides a macro to check if a header file can be included in `CXX`.

CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_CXX

      CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_CXX(<include> <variable> [<flags>])

  Check if the given `<include>` file may be included in a `CXX` source file and store the result in an internal cache entry named `<variable>`. The optional third argument may be used to add compilation flags to the check (or use `CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS` below).

The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify the way the check is run:

> `CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS`

>   String of additional flags to pass to the compiler. The string must be space-delimited--a ;-list will not work. The contents of `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS` and its associated configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler command before the contents of `CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS`.

> `CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS`

>   A ;-list of compiler definitions of the form `-DFOO` or `-DFOO=bar`. A definition for the name specified by `<resultVar>` will also be added automatically.

> `CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES`

>   A ;-list of header search paths to pass to the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used--the contents of the `INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` directory property will be ignored.

> `CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS`

>   New in version 3.14.

>   A ;-list of options to add to the link command (see `try_compile()` for further details).

> `CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`

>   A ;-list of libraries to add to the link command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be Imported Targets (see `try_compile()` for further details).

> `CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET`

>   New in version 3.1.

>   If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages associated with the check will be suppressed.

See modules `CheckIncludeFile` and `CheckIncludeFiles` to check for one or more `C` headers.
