# We've rewritten the inconsistency check code (from avahi), to work

# more broadly.  In particular, it no longer assumes ld accepts -zdefs.

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

# changed a little.

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.

# -Kthread: Sequent (threads in libc, but -Kthread needed for pthread.h)

# -kthread: FreeBSD kernel threads (preferred to -pthread since SMP-able)

# lthread: LinuxThreads port on FreeBSD (also preferred to -pthread)

# -pthread: Linux/gcc (kernel threads), BSD/gcc (userland threads)

# -pthreads: Solaris/gcc

# -mthreads: Mingw32/gcc, Lynx/gcc

# -mt: Sun Workshop C (may only link SunOS threads [-lthread], but it

#      doesn't hurt to check since this sometimes defines pthreads too;

#      also defines -D_REENTRANT)
