# 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.

# -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)

# pthread: Linux, etcetera

# --thread-safe: KAI C++
