6 dnl Public License, this file may be distributed as part of a program
7 dnl that contains a configuration script generated by Autoconf, under
8 dnl the same distribution terms as the rest of that program.
10 dnl This file defines some "once only" variants of standard autoconf macros.
11 dnl AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_HEADERS
12 dnl AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_FUNCS
13 dnl AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_DECLS
14 dnl AC_REQUIRE([AC_FUNC_STRCOLL]) like AC_FUNC_STRCOLL
15 dnl The advantage is that the check for each of the headers/functions/decls
16 dnl will be put only once into the 'configure' file. It keeps the size of
17 dnl the 'configure' file down, and avoids redundant output when 'configure'
18 dnl is run.
19 dnl The drawback is that the checks cannot be conditionalized. If you write
20 dnl if some_condition; then gl_CHECK_HEADERS(stdlib.h); fi
21 dnl inside an AC_DEFUNed function, the gl_CHECK_HEADERS macro call expands to
22 dnl empty, and the check will be inserted before the body of the AC_DEFUNed
23 dnl function.
25 dnl The original code implemented AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE and AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE
26 dnl in terms of AC_DEFUN and AC_REQUIRE. This implementation uses diversions to
27 dnl named sections DEFAULTS and INIT_PREPARE in order to check all requested
28 dnl headers at once, thus reducing the size of 'configure'. It is known to work
29 dnl with autoconf 2.57..2.62 at least . The size reduction is ca. 9%.
31 dnl Autoconf version 2.59 plus gnulib is required; this file is not needed
32 dnl with Autoconf 2.60 or greater. But note that autoconf's implementation of
33 dnl AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE expects a comma-separated list of symbols as first
34 dnl argument!
