CMake Tutorial5 增加系统自省

一 内容

1. 有些场景下，某些功能能否使用取决于目标平台(target platform)是否有该功能。本文主要说明如何通过 check_symbol_exists 实现对头文件中符号(功能)的检测，如果功能存在则使用该功能。
2. 在 CMake Tutorial4_2 测试支持 上修改，去掉test部分，在 MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt 中增加 check_symbol_exists 的处理，如下：

## MathFunctions/CMakeLists.txt 
## --add
include(CheckSymbolExists)
# check_symbol_exists(...) in CMake to check the availability of symbols in header files.
check_symbol_exists(log "math.h" HAVE_LOG)
check_symbol_exists(exp "math.h" HAVE_EXP)
if(NOT (HAVE_LOG AND HAVE_EXP))
  unset(HAVE_LOG CACHE)
  unset(HAVE_EXP CACHE)
  # includes the math library. 
  # You do the same on the command-line like this: gcc test.c -lm 
  set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES "m")
  check_symbol_exists(log "math.h" HAVE_LOG)
  check_symbol_exists(exp "math.h" HAVE_EXP)
  if(HAVE_LOG AND HAVE_EXP)
    target_link_libraries(MathFunctions PRIVATE m)
  endif()
endif()

if(HAVE_LOG AND HAVE_EXP)
  target_compile_definitions(MathFunctions
                             PRIVATE "HAVE_LOG" "HAVE_EXP")
endif()

3. 修改mysqrt.cc

double mysqrt(double x)
{
#if defined(HAVE_LOG) && defined(HAVE_EXP)
  double result = exp(log(x) * 0.5);
  std::cout << "Computing sqrt of " << x << " to be " << result
            << " using log and exp" << std::endl;
#else
  double result = x;
#endif
  return result;
}

二 构建及测试

1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake …
4. cmake --build .
5. ./Tutorial 9

Computing sqrt of 9 to be 3 using log and exp
USE_MYMATH
The square root of 9 is 3
