From d7a01582424ff0119493cb7d41d382849328a118 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karel Zak Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 15:45:19 +0100 Subject: build-sys: rewrite TLS detection * use more robust tls.m4 from gcc project The old version (from util-linux-ng) used AC_TRY_COMPILE. That's wrong. We need to use AC_RUN_IFELSE to check that the result is link-able and executable. The new version also test it TLS really works in multi-thread applications. * we need to detect TLS usability for cross-compiling * this new version supports __thread keyword only, it seems that we needn't to care about anything other Signed-off-by: Karel Zak --- m4/tls.m4 | 145 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 104 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) (limited to 'm4') diff --git a/m4/tls.m4 b/m4/tls.m4 index 5644ba708..7adb09acd 100644 --- a/m4/tls.m4 +++ b/m4/tls.m4 @@ -1,48 +1,111 @@ -# from http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_tls.html # -# This was licensed under the GPL with the following exception: +# AX_CHECK_TLS -- check whether the target supports TLS (thread-local storage) # -# As a special exception, the respective Autoconf Macro's copyright -# owner gives unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify the -# configure scripts that are the output of Autoconf when processing -# the Macro.
