<p>Check sizeof a type</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">CHECK_TYPE_SIZE</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">TYPE</span> <span class="n">VARIABLE</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="n">BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY</span><span class="p">]</span>

<p>Check if the type exists and determine its size. On return,
&#8220;HAVE_${VARIABLE}&#8221; holds the existence of the type, and &#8220;${VARIABLE}&#8221;
holds one of the following:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">size</span><span class="o">&gt;</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">type</span> <span class="n">has</span> <span class="n">non</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">zero</span> <span class="n">size</span> <span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">size</span><span class="o">&gt;</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;0&quot;</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">type</span> <span class="n">has</span> <span class="n">arch</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">dependent</span> <span class="n">size</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">see</span> <span class="n">below</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="s2">&quot;&quot;</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">type</span> <span class="n">does</span> <span class="ow">not</span> <span class="n">exist</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Both <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">HAVE_${VARIABLE}</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">${VARIABLE}</span></code> will be created as internal
cache variables.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the variable &#8220;${VARIABLE}_CODE&#8221; holds C preprocessor code
to define the macro &#8220;${VARIABLE}&#8221; to the size of the type, or leave
the macro undefined if the type does not exist.</p>
<p>The variable &#8220;${VARIABLE}&#8221; may be &#8220;0&#8221; when CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES has
multiple architectures for building OS X universal binaries. This
indicates that the type size varies across architectures. In this
case &#8220;${VARIABLE}_CODE&#8221; contains C preprocessor tests mapping from
each architecture macro to the corresponding type size. The list of
architecture macros is stored in &#8220;${VARIABLE}_KEYS&#8221;, and the value for
each key is stored in &#8220;${VARIABLE}-${KEY}&#8221;.</p>
<p>If the BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY option is not given, the macro checks for
headers &lt;sys/types.h&gt;, &lt;stdint.h&gt;, and &lt;stddef.h&gt;, and saves results
in HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H, HAVE_STDINT_H, and HAVE_STDDEF_H. The type size
check automatically includes the available headers, thus supporting
checks of types defined in the headers.</p>
<p>If LANGUAGE is set, the specified compiler will be used to perform the
check. Acceptable values are C and CXX</p>
<p>Despite the name of the macro you may use it to check the size of more
complex expressions, too. To check e.g. for the size of a struct
member you can do something like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">check_type_size</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;((struct something*)0)-&gt;member&quot;</span> <span class="n">SIZEOF_MEMBER</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
the way the check is run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">string</span> <span class="n">of</span> <span class="nb">compile</span> <span class="n">command</span> <span class="n">line</span> <span class="n">flags</span>
<span class="n">CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">list</span> <span class="n">of</span> <span class="n">macros</span> <span class="n">to</span> <span class="n">define</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">DFOO</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">bar</span><span class="p">)</span>
