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