| # more broadly. In particular, it no longer assumes ld accepts -zdefs. | |
| # This caused a restructing of the code, but the functionality has only | |

| dnl | |
| dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. | |
| dnl It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and | |
| dnl linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special | |
| dnl C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain | |
| dnl compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment | |
| dnl variables.) | |
| dnl | |
| dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for | |
| dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise). | |
| dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.) | |
| dnl | |
| dnl NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these | |
| dnl flags, but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link | |
| dnl with $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS | |
| dnl $LIBS | |
| dnl | |
| dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use | |
| dnl these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC: | |
| dnl | |
| dnl LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS" | |
| dnl CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS" | |
| dnl CC="$PTHREAD_CC" | |
| dnl | |
| dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute | |
| dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to | |
| dnl that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX). | |
| dnl | |
| dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads | |
| dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to | |
| dnl run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the | |
| dnl default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD. | |
| dnl | |
| dnl Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or | |
| dnl if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based | |
| dnl on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (www.fftw.org) (with | |
| dnl help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros | |
| dnl posted by Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository. | |
| dnl We are also grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users. | |
