So how does Fortran (and C, and C++) avoid the TRY_COMPILE infinite recursion? Whatever it is, I have obviously missed it for my experimental Ada language support or some core change needs to be made to CMake itself.
Another possibility is there is some fundamental difference between the first and second forms of TRY_COMPILE so that the second form avoids the infinite recursion while the first one does not. An earlier version of my Ada support simply did a compile test with gcc -c with the second TRY_COMPILE form, and that did not have the infinite recursion problem encountered when I attempt to use the first form of TRY_COMPILE with a full compile+bind+link test with gnatmake. Anyhow, with the gnatmake test, the first form of TRY_COMPILE is required, and so far I have not been able to figure out how to avoid the infinite TRY_COMPILE issue with that form. Thus, I would really appreciate an answer for how that issue is avoided for the second TRY_COMPILE form for C, C++, Fortran, and a compile-only Ada test. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
