| 3 | # SYNOPSIS |
| 4 | # |
| 5 | # ACX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]]) |
| 6 | # |
| 7 | # DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | # |
| 9 | # This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. |
| 10 | # It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and |
| 11 | # linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special |
| 12 | # C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain |
| 13 | # compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment |
| 14 | # variables.) |
| 15 | # |
| 16 | # Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for |
| 17 | # multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise). |
| 18 | # (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.) |
| 19 | # |
| 20 | # NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these |
| 21 | # flags, but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link |
| 22 | # with $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS |
| 23 | # $LIBS |
| 24 | # |
| 25 | # If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use |
| 26 | # these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC: |
| 27 | # |
| 28 | # LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS" |
| 29 | # CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS" |
| 30 | # CC="$PTHREAD_CC" |
| 31 | # |
| 32 | # In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute |
| 33 | # constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to |
| 34 | # that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX). |
| 35 | # |
| 36 | # ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads |
| 37 | # library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to |
| 38 | # run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the |
| 39 | # default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD. |
| 40 | # |
| 41 | # Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or |
| 42 | # if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based |
| 43 | # on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/) |
| 44 | # (with help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread |
| 45 | # macros posted by Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro |
| 46 | # repository. We are also grateful for the helpful feedback of |
| 47 | # numerous users. |
