# 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,
22+
# but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link with
23+
# $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS
24+
#
25+
# If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use these
26+
# variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
27+
#
28+
# LIBS="$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, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to that name
34+
# (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.
