# CheckCXXCompilerFlag
# --------------------
#
# Check whether the CXX compiler supports a given flag.
#
# CHECK_CXX_COMPILER_FLAG(<flag> <var>)
#
# ::
#
# <flag> - the compiler flag
# <var> - variable to store the result
#
# This internally calls the check_cxx_source_compiles macro and sets
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS to <flag>. See help for
# CheckCXXSourceCompiles for a listing of variables that can otherwise
# modify the build. The result only tells that the compiler does not
# give an error message when it encounters the flag. If the flag has
# any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this module.
