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