# FindFLEX
# --------
#
# Find flex executable and provides a macro to generate custom build rules
#
#
#
# The module defines the following variables:
#
# ::
#
#   FLEX_FOUND - true is flex executable is found
#   FLEX_EXECUTABLE - the path to the flex executable
#   FLEX_VERSION - the version of flex
#   FLEX_LIBRARIES - The flex libraries
#   FLEX_INCLUDE_DIRS - The path to the flex headers
#
#
#
# The minimum required version of flex can be specified using the
# standard syntax, e.g.  find_package(FLEX 2.5.13)
#
#
#
# If flex is found on the system, the module provides the macro:
#
# ::
#
#   FLEX_TARGET(Name FlexInput FlexOutput
#               [COMPILE_FLAGS <string>]
#               [DEFINES_FILE <string>]
#               )
#
# which creates a custom command to generate the <FlexOutput> file from
# the <FlexInput> file.  If COMPILE_FLAGS option is specified, the next
# parameter is added to the flex command line. If flex is configured to
# output a header file, the DEFINES_FILE option may be used to specify its
# name. Name is an alias used to get details of this custom command.
# Indeed the macro defines the following variables:
#
# ::
#
#   FLEX_${Name}_DEFINED - true is the macro ran successfully
#   FLEX_${Name}_OUTPUTS - the source file generated by the custom rule, an
#   alias for FlexOutput
#   FLEX_${Name}_INPUT - the flex source file, an alias for ${FlexInput}
#   FLEX_${Name}_OUTPUT_HEADER - the header flex output, if any.
#
#
#
# Flex scanners oftenly use tokens defined by Bison: the code generated
# by Flex depends of the header generated by Bison.  This module also
# defines a macro:
#
# ::
#
#   ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(FlexTarget BisonTarget)
#
# which adds the required dependency between a scanner and a parser
# where <FlexTarget> and <BisonTarget> are the first parameters of
# respectively FLEX_TARGET and BISON_TARGET macros.
#
# ::
#
#   ====================================================================
#   Example:
#
#
#
# ::
#
#    find_package(BISON)
#    find_package(FLEX)
#
#
#
# ::
#
#    BISON_TARGET(MyParser parser.y ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/parser.cpp)
#    FLEX_TARGET(MyScanner lexer.l  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/lexer.cpp)
#    ADD_FLEX_BISON_DEPENDENCY(MyScanner MyParser)
#
#
#
# ::
#
#    include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
#    add_executable(Foo
#       Foo.cc
#       ${BISON_MyParser_OUTPUTS}
#       ${FLEX_MyScanner_OUTPUTS}
#    )
