7 # AX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
8 #
9 # DESCRIPTION
10 #
11 # This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. 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.
