function
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Start recording a function for later invocation as a command.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
|
|
|
function(<name> [<arg1> ...])
|
|
<commands>
|
|
endfunction()
|
|
|
|
Defines a function named ``<name>`` that takes arguments named
|
|
``<arg1>``, ... The ``<commands>`` in the function definition
|
|
are recorded; they are not executed until the function is invoked.
|
|
|
|
Per legacy, the :command:`endfunction` command admits an optional
|
|
``<name>`` argument. If used, it must be a verbatim repeat of the
|
|
argument of the opening ``function`` command.
|
|
|
|
A function opens a new scope: see :command:`set(var PARENT_SCOPE)` for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
See the :command:`cmake_policy()` command documentation for the behavior
|
|
of policies inside functions.
|
|
|
|
See the :command:`macro()` command documentation for differences
|
|
between CMake functions and macros.
|
|
|
|
Invocation
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The function invocation is case-insensitive. A function defined as
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
|
|
|
function(foo)
|
|
<commands>
|
|
endfunction()
|
|
|
|
can be invoked through any of
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
|
|
|
foo()
|
|
Foo()
|
|
FOO()
|
|
cmake_language(CALL foo)
|
|
|
|
and so on. However, it is strongly recommended to stay with the
|
|
case chosen in the function definition. Typically functions use
|
|
all-lowercase names.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.18
|
|
The :command:`cmake_language(CALL ...)` command can also be used to
|
|
invoke the function.
|
|
|
|
Arguments
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
When the function is invoked, the recorded ``<commands>`` are first
|
|
modified by replacing formal parameters (``${arg1}``, ...) with the
|
|
arguments passed, and then invoked as normal commands.
|
|
|
|
In addition to referencing the formal parameters you can reference the
|
|
``ARGC`` variable which will be set to the number of arguments passed
|
|
into the function as well as ``ARGV0``, ``ARGV1``, ``ARGV2``, ... which
|
|
will have the actual values of the arguments passed in. This facilitates
|
|
creating functions with optional arguments.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, ``ARGV`` holds the list of all arguments given to the
|
|
function and ``ARGN`` holds the list of arguments past the last expected
|
|
argument. Referencing to ``ARGV#`` arguments beyond ``ARGC`` have
|
|
undefined behavior. Checking that ``ARGC`` is greater than ``#`` is
|
|
the only way to ensure that ``ARGV#`` was passed to the function as an
|
|
extra argument.
