CheckOBJCXXCompilerFlag
-----------------------

.. versionadded:: 3.16

This module provides a command to check whether the Objective-C++ compiler
supports a given flag.

Load this module in a CMake project with:

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(CheckOBJCXXCompilerFlag)

Commands
^^^^^^^^

This module provides the following command:

.. command:: check_objcxx_compiler_flag

  Checks once whether the Objective-C++ compiler supports a given flag:

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_objcxx_compiler_flag(<flag> <variable>)

  This command checks once that the ``<flag>`` is accepted by the ``OBJCXX``
  compiler without producing a diagnostic message.  Multiple flags can be
  specified in one argument as a string using a
  :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>`.

  The result of the check is stored in the internal cache variable specified
  by ``<variable>``, with boolean true for success and boolean false for
  failure.

  A successful result only indicates that the compiler did not report an
  error when given the flag.  Whether the flag has any effect, or the
  intended one, is outside the scope of this module.

  .. note::

    Since the underlying :command:`try_compile` command also uses flags from
    variables like :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS`, unknown or unsupported
    flags in those variables may result in a false negative for this check.

  .. rubric:: Variables Affecting the Check

  The following variables may be set before calling this command 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

  .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE.rst

Examples
^^^^^^^^

The following example demonstrates how to use this module to check the
Objective-C++ compiler flag ``-fobjc-arc``.  The result of the check is
stored in the internal cache variable ``HAVE_OBJC_ARC``, and the flag is
conditionally enabled using the :command:`target_compile_options` command.
The :genex:`$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:...> <COMPILE_LANGUAGE:languages>` generator
expression ensures that the flag is added only to ``OBJCXX`` source files.

.. code-block:: cmake

  include(CheckOBJCXXCompilerFlag)
  check_objcxx_compiler_flag(-fobjc-arc HAVE_OBJC_ARC)

  if(HAVE_OBJC_ARC)
  target_compile_options(
      example
      PRIVATE $<$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:OBJCXX>:-fobjc-arc>
    )
  endif()
