3 # SYNOPSIS
|

4 #
|
|
|
5 # ACX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
|
|

|

|
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.
