# CheckCCompilerFlag
# ------------------
#
# Check whether the C compiler supports a given flag.
#
# CHECK_C_COMPILER_FLAG(<flag> <var>)
#
# ::
#
#   <flag> - the compiler flag
#   <var>  - variable to store the result
#            Will be created as an internal cache variable.
#
# This internally calls the check_c_source_compiles macro and sets
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS to <flag>.  See help for
# CheckCSourceCompiles 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.
