| # This caused a restructing of the code, but the functionality has only |

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