# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_CC_ATTRCOMMON
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Determine whether the C compiler supports C tentative definitions with
# __attribute((__common__)) See K&R book Appendix A10.2 on 'extern' and
# tentative definitions. Some compilers use a 'strict definition-reference
# model' Traditionally most UNIX C compilers support C tentative
# definitions. GCC 10 switched from default fcommon to fnocommon and will
# need __attribute__ ((__common__)) for tentative definitions.
#
# The $ac_cv_attrcommon variable will be either yes or no, and can be
# overridden on the command line with using --with-attrcommon
#
# See also: ax_cc_tentdef.m4 for a test on C tentative definitions
