135
dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX
136
dnl threads. It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads
137
dnl library and linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable
138
dnl to any special C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also
139
dnl force certain compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these
140
dnl environment variables.)
142
dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
143
dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
144
dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
146
dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to
147
dnl use these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
149
dnl LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
150
dnl CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
153
dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
154
dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
155
dnl to that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
157
dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
158
dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands
159
dnl to run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified,
160
dnl the default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
162
dnl Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform,
163
dnl or if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was
164
dnl based on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (www.fftw.org)
165
dnl (with help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread
166
dnl macros posted by AFC to the autoconf macro repository. We are also
167
dnl grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
