2     dnl
3     dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX
4     dnl threads. It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads
5     dnl library and linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable
6     dnl to any special C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also
7     dnl force certain compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these
8     dnl environment variables.)
9     dnl
10     dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
11     dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
12     dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
13     dnl
14     dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to
15     dnl use these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
16     dnl
17     dnl LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
18     dnl CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
19     dnl CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
20     dnl
21     dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
22     dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
23     dnl to that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
24     dnl
25     dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
26     dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands
27     dnl to run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified,
28     dnl the default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
29     dnl
30     dnl Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform,
31     dnl or if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was
32     dnl based on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (www.fftw.org)
33     dnl (with help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread
34     dnl macros posted by AFC to the autoconf macro repository. We are also
35     dnl grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
