Load this module in a CMake project with: .. code-block:: cmake include(TestForSTDNamespace) Early versions of C++ (pre-C++98) did not have a requirement for a dedicated namespace of C++ Standard Template Library (STL) components (e.g. ``list``, etc.) and other parts of the C++ Standard Library (such as I/O streams ``cout``, ``endl``, etc), so they were available globally. This module defines the following cache variable: ``CMAKE_NO_STD_NAMESPACE`` A cache variable containing the result of the check. It will be set to value ``0`` if the ``std`` namespace is supported (``C++ 98`` and newer), and to value ``1`` if not (``ANSI C++``). .. note:: The ``std`` namespace got formally introduced in ``C++ 98`` standard, making this issue obsolete. Examples ^^^^^^^^ Including this module will check for the ``std`` namespace support and define the ``CMAKE_NO_STD_NAMESPACE`` cache variable: .. code-block:: cmake :caption: ``CMakeLists.txt`` include(TestForSTDNamespace) file( CONFIGURE OUTPUT config.h CONTENT "#cmakedefine CMAKE_NO_STD_NAMESPACE" ) which can be then used in a C++ program to define the missing namespace: .. code-block:: c++ :caption: ``example.cxx`` #include "config.h" #ifdef CMAKE_NO_STD_NAMESPACE # define std #endif See Also ^^^^^^^^ * The :module:`CMakeBackwardCompatibilityCXX` module. #]=======================================================================] if(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_STD_NAMESPACE) message(CHECK_START "Check for STD namespace") try_compile(CMAKE_STD_NAMESPACE SOURCES ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/TestForSTDNamespace.cxx ) if (CMAKE_STD_NAMESPACE) message(CHECK_PASS "found") set (CMAKE_NO_STD_NAMESPACE 0 CACHE INTERNAL "Does the compiler support std::.") else () message(CHECK_FAIL "not found") set (CMAKE_NO_STD_NAMESPACE 1 CACHE INTERNAL "Does the compiler support std::.") endif () endif()
