<p>Checks that the source supplied in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;code&gt;</span></code> can be compiled as a Fortran
source file and linked as an executable. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;code&gt;</span></code> must be a Fortran program
containing at least an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">end</span></code> statement--for example:</p>
<div class="highlight-cmake notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">check_fortran_source_compiles(</span><span class="s">&quot;character :: b; error stop b; end&quot;</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">F2018ESTOPOK</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">SRC_EXT</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">F90</span><span class="nf">)</span><span class="w"></span>
</pre></div>

<p>This command can help avoid costly build processes when a compiler lacks support
for a necessary feature, or a particular vendor library is not compatible with
the Fortran compiler version being used. This generate-time check may advise the
user of such before the main build process. See also the
<span class="target" id="index-0-command:check_fortran_source_runs"></span><a class="reference internal" href="CheckFortranSourceRuns.html#command:check_fortran_source_runs" title="check_fortran_source_runs"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">check_fortran_source_runs()</span></code></a> command to actually run the compiled code.</p>
<p>The result will be stored in the internal cache
variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;resultVar&gt;</span></code>, with a boolean true value for success and boolean
false for failure.</p>
<p>If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FAIL_REGEX</span></code> is provided, then failure is determined by checking
if anything in the output matches any of the specified regular expressions.</p>
<p>By default, the test source file will be given a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.F</span></code> file extension. The
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SRC_EXT</span></code> option can be used to override this with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.&lt;extension&gt;</span></code> instead--
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.F90</span></code> is a typical choice.</p>
<p>The underlying check is performed by the <span class="target" id="index-0-command:try_compile"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../command/try_compile.html#command:try_compile" title="try_compile"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">try_compile()</span></code></a> command.

<p>The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the variable
named by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;resultVar&gt;</span></code>. Every subsequent CMake run will re-use this cached
value rather than performing the check again, even if the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;code&gt;</span></code> changes.
In order to force the check to be re-evaluated, the variable named by
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;resultVar&gt;</span></code> must be manually removed from the cache.</p>
