dnl @synopsis ACX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])

dnl

dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX

dnl threads.  It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads

dnl library and linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable

dnl to any special C compiler flags that are needed.  (The user can also

dnl force certain compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these

dnl environment variables.)

dnl

dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for

dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).

dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)

dnl

dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to

dnl use these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:

dnl

dnl        LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"

dnl        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"

dnl        CC="$PTHREAD_CC"

dnl

dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute

dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE

dnl to that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).

dnl

dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads

dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands

dnl to run it if it is not found.  If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified,

dnl the default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.

dnl

dnl Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform,

dnl or if you have any other suggestions or comments.  This macro was

dnl based on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (www.fftw.org)

dnl (with help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread

dnl macros posted by AFC to the autoconf macro repository.  We are also

dnl grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
