<p>This command can help avoid costly build processes when a compiler lacks support
for a necessary feature, or a particular vendor library is not compatible with
the Fortran compiler version being used. This generate-time check may advise the
user of such before the main build process. See also the
<span class="target" id="index-0-command:check_fortran_source_runs"></span><a class="reference internal" href="CheckFortranSourceRuns.html#command:check_fortran_source_runs" title="check_fortran_source_runs"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">check_fortran_source_runs()</span></code></a> command to run the compiled code.</p>
<p>The result will be stored in the internal cache
variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;resultVar&gt;</span></code>, with a boolean true value for success and boolean
false for failure.</p>
<p>If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FAIL_REGEX</span></code> is provided, then failure is determined by checking
if anything in the output matches any of the specified regular expressions.</p>
<p>By default, the test source file will be given a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.F</span></code> file extension. The
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SRC_EXT</span></code> option can be used to override this with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.&lt;extension&gt;</span></code> instead--
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.F90</span></code> is a typical choice.</p>
<p>The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the variable named
by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;resultVar&gt;</span></code>. Every subsequent CMake run will re-use this cached value
rather than performing the check again, even if the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;code&gt;</span></code> changes. In
order to force the check to be re-evaluated, the variable named by
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;resultVar&gt;</span></code> must be manually removed from the cache.</p>
<p>The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the
following variables prior to calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">check_fortran_source_compiles()</span></code>:</p>
