dnl @synopsis AC_CHECK_CC_OPT(flag, cachevarname) dnl dnl AC_CHECK_CC_OPT(-fvomit-frame,vomitframe) dnl would show a message as like dnl "checking wether gcc accepts -fvomit-frame ... no" dnl and sets the shell-variable $vomitframe to either "-fvomit-frame" dnl or (in this case) just a simple "". In many cases you would then call dnl AC_SUBST(_fvomit_frame_,$vomitframe) to create a substitution that dnl could be fed as "CFLAGS = @_funsigned_char_@ @_fvomit_frame_@ dnl dnl in consequence this function is much more general than their dnl specific counterparts like ac_cxx_rtti.m4 that will test for dnl -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions dnl dnl @version $Id: ac_check_cc_opt.m4,v 1.1.1.1 2001/07/26 00:46 ac-archive-0.5.39 $ dml @author Guido Draheim AC_DEFUN(AC_CHECK_CC_OPT, [AC_CACHE_CHECK(whether ${CC-cc} accepts [$1], [$2], [AC_SUBST($2) echo 'void f(){}' > conftest.c if test -z "`${CC-cc} -c $1 conftest.c 2>&1`"; then $2="$1" else $2="" fi rm -f conftest* ])])
