# SYNOPSIS

#

#   ACX_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 link it with them as well. e.g. you should link

#   with $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS

#   $LIBS

#

#   If you are only building threads 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, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to

#   that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).

#

#   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.

# -pthreads: Solaris/gcc

# -mthreads: Mingw32/gcc, Lynx/gcc
