# =========================================================================== # http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_gcc_option.html # =========================================================================== # # OBSOLETE MACRO # # Deprecated in favor of AX_C_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXX_CHECK_FLAG, # AX_CPP_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXXCPP_CHECK_FLAG and AX_LD_CHECK_FLAG. # # SYNOPSIS # # AX_GCC_OPTION(OPTION,EXTRA-OPTIONS,TEST-PROGRAM,ACTION-IF-SUCCESSFUL,ACTION-IF-NOT-SUCCESFUL) # # DESCRIPTION # # AX_GCC_OPTION checks wheter gcc accepts the passed OPTION. If it accepts # the OPTION then ACTION-IF-SUCCESSFUL will be executed, otherwise # ACTION-IF-UNSUCCESSFUL. # # A typical usage should be the following one: # # AX_GCC_OPTION([-fomit-frame-pointer],[],[],[ # AC_MSG_NOTICE([The option is supported])],[ # AC_MSG_NOTICE([No luck this time]) # ]) # # The macro doesn't discriminate between languages so, if you are testing # for an option that works for C++ but not for C you should use '-x c++' # as EXTRA-OPTIONS: # # AX_GCC_OPTION([-fno-rtti],[-x c++],[],[ ... ],[ ... ]) # # OPTION is tested against the following code: # # int main() # { # return 0; # } # # The optional TEST-PROGRAM comes handy when the default main() is not # suited for the option being checked # # So, if you need to test for -fstrict-prototypes option you should # probably use the macro as follows: # # AX_GCC_OPTION([-fstrict-prototypes],[-x c++],[ # int main(int argc, char ** argv) # { # (void) argc; # (void) argv; # # return 0; # } # ],[ ... ],[ ... ]) # # Note that the macro compiles but doesn't link the test program so it is # not suited for checking options that are passed to the linker, like: # # -Wl,-L # # In order to avoid such kind of problems you should think about usinguse # the AX_*_CHECK_FLAG family macros # # LICENSE # # Copyright (c) 2008 Francesco Salvestrini # Copyright (c) 2008 Bogdan Drozdowski # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the # Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your # option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
