adam@1528 7 # AX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
adam@1528 8 #
adam@1528 9 # DESCRIPTION
adam@1528 10 #
adam@1528 11 # This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. It
adam@1528 12 # sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and linker
adam@1528 13 # flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special C compiler
adam@1528 14 # flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain compiler
adam@1528 15 # flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment variables.)
adam@1528 16 #
adam@1528 17 # Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
adam@1528 18 # multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise). (This
adam@1528 19 # is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
adam@1528 20 #
adam@1528 21 # NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these flags,
adam@1528 22 # but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link with
adam@1528 23 # $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS
adam@1528 24 #
adam@1528 25 # If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use these
adam@1528 26 # variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
adam@1528 27 #
adam@1528 28 # LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
adam@1528 29 # CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
adam@1528 30 # CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
adam@1528 31 #
adam@1528 32 # In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute constant
adam@1528 33 # has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to that name
adam@1528 34 # (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
adam@1528 35 #
adam@1528 36 # Also HAVE_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT is defined if pthread is found and the
adam@1528 37 # PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT symbol is defined when compiling with
adam@1528 38 # PTHREAD_CFLAGS.
adam@1528 39 #
adam@1528 40 # ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads library
adam@1528 41 # is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to run it if it
adam@1528 42 # is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the default action
adam@1528 43 # will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
adam@1528 44 #
adam@1528 45 # Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or if
adam@1528 46 # you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based on work
adam@1528 47 # by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/) (with help
adam@1528 48 # from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros posted by
adam@1528 49 # Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository. We are also
adam@1528 50 # grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
