Anything automatic I can think of would not be able to do much more than taking the resulting CMAKE_??_FLAGS variable and check if the compiler indeed accepts all the arguments. That's basically just repeating the same tests already performed in the macro you're supposed to be testing and thus as much (if not more) a test of the input logic (the conditional expression(s)) as of the macro. The macro has different parameters. Things you can test: - Compiler flags accepted by all compilers (-Wall, -Wextra...) - flags only accepted by a given compiler. You can then check that it's not added by mistake to unsupported platforms About the code itself: The two functions are clones, this can be avoided by only having one ECM_ADD_COMPILER_FLAG function and a LANGUAGE argument. This has 2 benefits: - The module name matches the function name - it's shorter than ecm_add_cxx_compiler_flag_if_supported and easier to remember.
