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 # Also HAVE_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT is defined if pthread is found and the 37 # PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT symbol is defined when compiling with 38 # PTHREAD_CFLAGS. 39 # 40 # ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads library 41 # is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to run it if it 42 # is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the default action 43 # will define HAVE_PTHREAD. 44 # 45 # Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or if 46 # you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based on work 47 # by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/) (with help 48 # from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros posted by 49 # Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository. We are also 50 # grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users. 51 # 52 # Updated for Autoconf 2.68 by Daniel Richard G. 53 # 54 # LICENSE 55 # 56 # Copyright (c) 2008 Steven G.
