CheckSourceRuns
-------------------

.. versionadded:: 3.19

Check if given source compiles and links into an executable and can
subsequently be run.

.. command:: check_source_runs

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_source_runs(<lang> <code> <resultVar>
                      [SRC_EXT <extension>])

  Check that the source supplied in ``<code>`` can be compiled as a source
  file for the requested language, linked as an executable and then run.
  If the ``<code>`` could be built and run successfully, the internal cache variable
  specified by ``<resultVar>`` will be set to 1, otherwise it will be set to
  a value that evaluates to boolean false (e.g. an empty string or an error
  message).

  By default, the test source file will be given a file extension that matches
  the requested language. The ``SRC_EXT`` option can be used to override this
  with ``.<extension>`` instead.

  The ``<code>`` must contain a valid main program. For example:

  .. code-block:: cmake

    check_source_runs(C
    "#include <stdlib.h>
    #include <stdnoreturn.h>
    noreturn void f(){ exit(0); }
    int main(void) { f(); return 1; }"
    HAVE_NORETURN)

    check_source_runs(Fortran
    "program test
    real :: x[*]
    call co_sum(x)
    end program"
    HAVE_COARRAY)

  The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the variable named
  by ``<resultVar>``. Every subsequent CMake run will re-use this cached value
  rather than performing the check again, even if the ``<code>`` changes. In
  order to force the check to be re-evaluated, the variable named by
  ``<resultVar>`` must be manually removed from the cache.

  The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the
  following variables prior to calling ``check_source_runs()``
