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, 22# but also to link with them as well. For example, you might link with 23# $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS 24# 25# If you are only building threaded programs, you may wish to use these 26# variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC: 27# 28# LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS" 29# CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS" 30# CC="$PTHREAD_CC" 31# 32# In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute constant 33# has a nonstandard name, this macro defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to 34# that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX). 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. 51# 52# Updated for Autoconf 2.68 by Daniel Richard G. 53# 54# LICENSE 55# 56# Copyright (c) 2008 Steven G.
