cannam@133: dnl @summary figure out how to build C programs using POSIX threads
cannam@133: dnl
cannam@133: dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads.
cannam@133: dnl It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and
cannam@133: dnl linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special
cannam@133: dnl C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain
cannam@133: dnl compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment
cannam@133: dnl variables.)
cannam@133: dnl
cannam@133: dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
cannam@133: dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
cannam@133: dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
cannam@133: dnl
cannam@133: dnl NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these
cannam@133: dnl flags, but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link
cannam@133: dnl with $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS
cannam@133: dnl $LIBS
cannam@133: dnl
cannam@133: dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use
cannam@133: dnl these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
cannam@133: dnl
cannam@133: dnl        LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
cannam@133: dnl        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
cannam@133: dnl        CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
cannam@133: dnl
cannam@133: dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
cannam@133: dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to
cannam@133: dnl that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
cannam@133: dnl
cannam@133: dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
cannam@133: dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to
cannam@133: dnl run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the
cannam@133: dnl default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
cannam@133: dnl
cannam@133: dnl Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or
cannam@133: dnl if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based
cannam@133: dnl on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (www.fftw.org) (with
cannam@133: dnl help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros
cannam@133: dnl posted by Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository.
cannam@133: dnl We are also grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
