Fortran/C Interface Detection
This module automatically detects the API by which C and Fortran
languages interact. Variables indicate if the mangling is found:

.. command:: FortranCInterface_HEADER
The ``FortranCInterface_HEADER`` function is provided to generate a
C header file containing macros to mangle symbol names::
FortranCInterface_HEADER(<file>

[SYMBOL_NAMESPACE <ns>]
[SYMBOLS [<module>:]<function> ...])

These macros mangle four categories of Fortran symbols, respectively:
::
- Global symbols without '_': call mysub()
- Global symbols with '_' : call my_sub()
- Module symbols without '_': use mymod; call mysub()
- Module symbols with '_' : use mymod; call my_sub()
* Global symbols without '_': ``call mysub()``
* Global symbols with '_' : ``call my_sub()``
* Module symbols without '_': ``use mymod; call mysub()``
* Module symbols with '_' : ``use mymod; call my_sub()``
If mangling for a category is not known, its macro is left undefined.
All macros require raw names in both lower case and upper case. The
MACRO_NAMESPACE option replaces the default "FortranCInterface_"
prefix with a given namespace "<macro-ns>".
All macros require raw names in both lower case and upper case.
The SYMBOLS option lists symbols to mangle automatically with C
preprocessor definitions:
The options are:
::
``MACRO_NAMESPACE``
Replace the default ``FortranCInterface_`` prefix with a given
namespace ``<macro-ns>``.
``SYMBOLS``
List symbols to mangle automatically with C preprocessor definitions::
<function> ==> #define <ns><function> ...
<module>:<function> ==> #define <ns><module>_<function> ...

definition is created, and a warning is displayed. The
SYMBOL_NAMESPACE option prefixes all preprocessor definitions
generated by the SYMBOLS option with a given namespace "<ns>".

Example usage:
``SYMBOL_NAMESPACE``
Prefix all preprocessor definitions generated by the ``SYMBOLS``
option with a given namespace ``<ns>``.

.. command:: FortranCInterface_VERIFY
The ``FortranCInterface_VERIFY`` function is provided to verify
that the Fortran and C/C++ compilers work together::
FortranCInterface_VERIFY([CXX] [QUIET])
It tests whether a simple test executable using Fortran and C (and C++
when the CXX option is given) compiles and links successfully. The
result is stored in the cache entry ``FortranCInterface_VERIFIED_C``
(or ``FortranCInterface_VERIFIED_CXX`` if ``CXX`` is given) as a boolean.
If the check fails and ``QUIET`` is not given the function terminates with a
fatal error message describing the problem. The purpose of this check
is to stop a build early for incompatible compiler combinations. The
test is built in the ``Release`` configuration.
Example Usage
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: cmake
include(FortranCInterface)
FortranCInterface_HEADER(FC.h MACRO_NAMESPACE "FC_")
This creates a "FC.h" header that defines mangling macros FC_GLOBAL(),
FC_GLOBAL_(), FC_MODULE(), and FC_MODULE_().
This creates a "FC.h" header that defines mangling macros ``FC_GLOBAL()``,
``FC_GLOBAL_()``, ``FC_MODULE()``, and ``FC_MODULE_()``.
