That feature can be enabled with g++, clang++, and icpc (intel). It could
be implemented for MSVC, with the flag /Zs, but that is not yet done (and
probably will not).
The option is controlled by a CMake option, CGAL_ENABLE_CHECK_HEADERS, that
is disabled by default. If that option is enabled by the user, then CMake
will check if the compiler $CXX understand the syntax:
$CXX -x c++ -fsyntax-only CGAL/header.h
and send an error otherwise.
Then phony targets will be created:
- a target check_CGAL__header_h for each header <CGAL/header.h>,
- a target check_pkg_<pkg> for each package <pgk>,
- and a target check_headers for the whole CGAL.
Those new targets currently give a lot of compilation errors if
CGAL_ENABLE_CHECK_HEADERS is enabled!
+ fix several missing includes in Mesh_2.
