CMakeFindDependencyMacro
------------------------

.. command:: find_dependency

  The ``find_dependency()`` macro wraps a :command:`find_package` call for
  a package dependency::

    find_dependency(<dep> [...])

  It is designed to be used in a
  :ref:`Package Configuration File <Config File Packages>`
  (``<PackageName>Config.cmake``).  ``find_dependency`` forwards the correct
  parameters for ``QUIET`` and ``REQUIRED`` which were passed to
  the original :command:`find_package` call.  Any additional arguments
  specified are forwarded to :command:`find_package`.

  If the dependency could not be found it sets an informative diagnostic
  message and calls :command:`return` to end processing of the calling
  package configuration file and return to the :command:`find_package`
  command that loaded it.

  .. note::

    The call to :command:`return` makes this macro unsuitable to call
    from :ref:`Find Modules`.

Package Dependency Search Optimizations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If ``find_dependency`` is called with arguments identical to a previous
call in the same directory, perhaps due to diamond-shaped package
dependencies, the underlying call to :command:`find_package` is optimized
out.  This optimization is important to support large package dependency
graphs while avoiding a combinatorial explosion of repeated searches.
However, the heuristic cannot account for ambient variables that
affect package behavior, such as ``<PackageName>_USE_STATIC_LIBS``,
offered by some packages.  Therefore package configuration files should
avoid setting such variables before their calls to ``find_dependency``.

.. versionchanged:: 3.15
  Previously, the underlying call to :command:`find_package` was always
  optimized out if the package had already been found.  CMake 3.15
  removed the optimization to support cases in which ``find_dependency``
  call arguments request different components.

.. versionchanged:: 3.26
  The pre-3.15 optimization was restored, but with the above-described
  heuristic to account for varying ``find_dependency`` call arguments.
