31 dnl Macros to check for the existence of compiler flags. The macros in this
32 dnl file support both C and C++.
34 dnl Be aware that, in order to detect a flag accurately, we may need to enable
35 dnl strict warning checking in the compiler (i.e. enable -Werror). Some
36 dnl compilers, e.g. Clang, report unknown -W flags as warnings unless -Werror is
37 dnl selected. This fact would confuse the flag checks below because we would
38 dnl conclude that a flag is valid while in reality it is not. To resolve this,
39 dnl the macros below will pass -Werror to the compiler along with any other flag
43 dnl Checks for a compiler flag and sets a result variable.
45 dnl This is an auxiliary macro for the implementation of _KYUA_FLAG.
47 dnl \param 1 The shell variable containing the compiler name. Used for
48 dnl reporting purposes only. C or CXX.
49 dnl \param 2 The shell variable containing the flags for the compiler.

51 dnl \param 3 The name of the compiler flag to check for.
52 dnl \param 4 The shell variable to set with the result of the test. Will
53 dnl be set to 'yes' if the flag is valid, 'no' otherwise.
54 dnl \param 5 Additional, optional flags to pass to the C compiler while
55 dnl looking for the flag in $3. We use this here to pass -Werror to the
56 dnl flag checks (unless we are checking for -Werror already).
