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

# -Kthread: Sequent (threads in libc, but -Kthread needed for pthread.h)
# -pthread: Linux/gcc (kernel threads), BSD/gcc (userland threads), Tru64
#           (Note: HP C rejects this with "bad form for `-t' option")
# -pthreads: Solaris/gcc (Note: HP C also rejects)
# -mt: Sun Workshop C (may only link SunOS threads [-lthread], but it
#      doesn't hurt to check since this sometimes defines pthreads and
#      -D_REENTRANT too), HP C (must be checked before -lpthread, which

# -mthreads: Mingw32/gcc, Lynx/gcc

	5	# SYNOPSIS

	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,
7be759d1	22	# but also to link with them as well. For example, you might link with
074c3a1b MJ	23	# $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS
074c3a1b MJ	24	#
7be759d1	25	# If you are only building threaded programs, you may wish to use these
074c3a1b MJ	26	# variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
	27	#
	28	# LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
	29	# CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
	30	# CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
	31	#
	32	# In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute constant
7be759d1 MJ	33	# has a nonstandard name, this macro defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to
7be759d1 MJ	34	# that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
074c3a1b MJ	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.
