# CheckSymbolExists
# -----------------
#
# Check if a symbol exists as a function, variable, or macro
#
# CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS(<symbol> <files> <variable>)
#
# Check that the <symbol> is available after including given header
# <files> and store the result in a <variable>.  Specify the list of
# files in one argument as a semicolon-separated list.
# <variable> will be created as an internal cache variable.
#
# If the header files define the symbol as a macro it is considered
# available and assumed to work.  If the header files declare the symbol
# as a function or variable then the symbol must also be available for
# linking.  If the symbol is a type or enum value it will not be
# recognized (consider using CheckTypeSize or CheckCSourceCompiles).  If
# the check needs to be done in C++, consider using
# CHECK_CXX_SYMBOL_EXISTS(), which does the same as
# CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS(), but in C++.
#
# The following variables may be set before calling this macro to modify
# the way the check is run:
#
# ::
#
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS = string of compile command line flags
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS = list of macros to define (-DFOO=bar)
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES = list of include directories
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES = list of libraries to link
#   CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET = execute quietly without messages
