6# We've rewritten the inconsistency check code (from avahi), to work
7# more broadly. In particular, it no longer assumes ld accepts -zdefs.
8# This caused a restructing of the code, but the functionality has only
9# changed a little.

13dnl @summary figure out how to build C programs using POSIX threads
14dnl
15dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads.
16dnl It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and
17dnl linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special
18dnl C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain
19dnl compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment
20dnl variables.)
21dnl
22dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
23dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
24dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
25dnl
26dnl NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these
27dnl flags, but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link
28dnl with $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS
29dnl $LIBS
30dnl
31dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use
32dnl these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
33dnl
34dnl LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
35dnl CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
36dnl CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
37dnl
38dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
39dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to
40dnl that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
41dnl
42dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
43dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to
44dnl run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the
45dnl default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
46dnl
47dnl Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or
48dnl if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based
49dnl on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (www.fftw.org) (with
50dnl help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros
51dnl posted by Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository.
52dnl We are also grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
