See the comments starting with 'CS:' +dnl for more information. In particular, it was changed to use C++ +dnl instead of C. +dnl +dnl @synopsis ACX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]]) +dnl +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_CXXFLAGS 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_CXX to any special C++ compiler that is needed for +dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CXX otherwise). +dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special xlC_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_CXX $CXXFLAGS $PTHREAD_CXXFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS +dnl $LIBS +dnl +dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use +dnl these variables in your default LIBS, CXXFLAGS, and CXX: +dnl +dnl LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS" +dnl CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS $PTHREAD_CXXFLAGS" +dnl CXX="$PTHREAD_CXX" +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. +dnl +dnl @category InstalledPackages +dnl @author Steven G.
