Load this module in a CMake project with: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckTypeSize) Commands ^^^^^^^^ This module provides the following command: .. command:: check_type_size Checks once whether the C/C++ type or expression exists and determines its size: .. code-block:: cmake check_type_size( [RESULT_VARIABLE ] [BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY] [LANGUAGE ] ) The arguments are: ```` The type or expression being checked. ```` The name of the internal cache variable for storing the size of the type or expression ````. This name is also used as a prefix as explained below. ``RESULT_VARIABLE `` .. versionadded:: 4.2 The name of the internal cache variable that holds a boolean value indicating whether the type or expression ```` exists. If *not* given, the command will by default define an internal cache variable named ``HAVE_`` instead. ``BUILTIN_TYPES_ONLY`` If given, only compiler-builtin types will be supported in the check. If *not* given, the command checks for common headers ````, ````, and ````, and saves results in ``HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H``, ``HAVE_STDINT_H``, and ``HAVE_STDDEF_H`` internal cache variables. For C++ ``std::`` types, ```` and ```` are also checked with ``HAVE_CSTDINT`` and ``HAVE_CSTDDEF`` defined respectively. The command automatically includes the available headers in the type size check, thus supporting checks of types defined in the headers. ``LANGUAGE `` Uses the ```` compiler to perform the check. Acceptable values are ``C`` and ``CXX``. If not specified, it defaults to ``C``. .. rubric:: Result Variables Results are reported in the following variables: ```` Internal cache variable that holds one of the following values: ```` If the type or expression ```` exists, it will have a non-zero size ```` in bytes. ``0`` When the type has an architecture-dependent size; This may occur when :variable:`CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES` has multiple architectures. In this case also the ``_KEYS`` variable is defined and the ``_CODE`` variable contains preprocessor tests mapping as explained below. "" (empty string) When the type or expression ```` does not exist. ``HAVE_`` Internal cache variable that holds a boolean value indicating whether the type or expression ```` exists. This variable is defined when the ``RESULT_VARIABLE`` argument is not used. ```` .. versionadded:: 4.2 Internal cache variable defined when the ``RESULT_VARIABLE`` argument is used. It holds a boolean value indicating whether the type or expression ```` exists (same value as ``HAVE_``). In this case, the ``HAVE_`` variable is not defined. ``_CODE`` CMake variable that holds preprocessor code to define the macro ```` to the size of the type, or to leave the macro undefined if the type does not exist. When the type has an architecture-dependent size (```` value is ``0``) this variable contains preprocessor tests mapping from each architecture macro to the corresponding type size. ``_KEYS`` CMake variable that is defined only when the type has an architecture-dependent size (```` value is ``0``) and contains a list of architecture macros. The value for each key is stored in ``-`` variables. .. rubric:: Variables Affecting the Check The following variables may be set before calling this command to modify the way the check is run: .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_DIRECTORIES.rst .. include:: /module/include/CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET.rst ``CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES`` A :ref:`semicolon-separated list ` of extra header files to include when performing the check. Examples ^^^^^^^^ Consider the code: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckTypeSize) # Check for size of long. check_type_size(long SIZEOF_LONG) message("HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG: ${HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG}") message("SIZEOF_LONG: ${SIZEOF_LONG}") message("SIZEOF_LONG_CODE: ${SIZEOF_LONG_CODE}") On a 64-bit architecture, the output may look something like this:: HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG: TRUE SIZEOF_LONG: 8 SIZEOF_LONG_CODE: #define SIZEOF_LONG 8 On Apple platforms, when :variable:`CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES` has multiple architectures, types may have architecture-dependent sizes. For example, with the code: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckTypeSize) check_type_size(long SIZEOF_LONG) message("HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG: ${HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG}") message("SIZEOF_LONG: ${SIZEOF_LONG}") foreach(key IN LISTS SIZEOF_LONG_KEYS) message("key: ${key}") message("value: ${SIZEOF_LONG-${key}}") endforeach() message("SIZEOF_LONG_CODE:\n${SIZEOF_LONG_CODE}") the result may be:: HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG: TRUE SIZEOF_LONG: 0 key: __i386 value: 4 key: __x86_64 value: 8 SIZEOF_LONG_CODE: #if defined(__i386) # define SIZEOF_LONG 4 #elif defined(__x86_64) # define SIZEOF_LONG 8 #else # error SIZEOF_LONG unknown #endif Example: Configuration Header """"""""""""""""""""""""""""" The next example demonstrates how the result variables can be used in a configuration header: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckTypeSize) check_type_size(long SIZEOF_LONG) configure_file(config.h.in config.h @ONLY) .. code-block:: c :caption: ``config.h.in`` :force: /* Define whether the type 'long' exists. */ #cmakedefine HAVE_SIZEOF_LONG /* The size of 'long', as computed by sizeof. */ @SIZEOF_LONG_CODE@ Example: Checking Complex Expressions """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Despite the name of this module, it may also be used to determine the size of more complex expressions. For example, to check the size of a struct member: .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckTypeSize) check_type_size("((struct something*)0)->member" SIZEOF_MEMBER) Example: Isolated Check """"""""""""""""""""""" In the following example, the check is performed with temporarily modified additional headers using the ``CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES`` variable and :module:`CMakePushCheckState` module. The result of the check is stored in ``HAVE_SIZEOF_UNION_SEMUN``, and size is stored in ``SIZEOF_UNION_SEMUN`` internal cache variables. .. code-block:: cmake include(CheckTypeSize) include(CMakePushCheckState) cmake_push_check_state(RESET) set(CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES sys/types.h sys/ipc.h sys/sem.h) check_type_size("union semun" SIZEOF_UNION_SEMUN) cmake_pop_check_state() Example: Customizing Result Variable """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Since CMake 4.2, the ``HAVE_`` variable name can be customized using the ``RESULT_VARIABLE`` argument. In the following example, this module is used to check whether the ``struct flock`` exists, and the result is stored in the ``MyProj_HAVE_STRUCT_FLOCK`` internal cache variable: .. code-block:: cmake cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 4.2) # ... include(CheckTypeSize) include(CMakePushCheckState) cmake_push_check_state(RESET) set(CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES "fcntl.h") check_type_size( "struct flock" MyProj_SIZEOF_STRUCT_FLOCK RESULT_VARIABLE MyProj_HAVE_STRUCT_FLOCK ) cmake_pop_check_state() #]=======================================================================] include(CheckIncludeFile) include(CheckIncludeFileCXX) include_guard(GLOBAL) block(SCOPE_FOR POLICIES) cmake_policy(SET CMP0140 NEW) cmake_policy(SET CMP0159 NEW) # file(STRINGS) with REGEX updates CMAKE_MATCH_ cmake_policy(SET CMP0174 NEW) #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Helper function.
