7 dnl This file defines some "once only" variants of standard autoconf macros.
8 dnl AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_HEADERS
9 dnl AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_FUNCS
10 dnl AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_DECLS
11 dnl AC_REQUIRE([AC_HEADER_STDC]) like AC_HEADER_STDC
12 dnl The advantage is that the check for each of the headers/functions/decls
13 dnl will be put only once into the 'configure' file. It keeps the size of
14 dnl the 'configure' file down, and avoids redundant output when 'configure'
16 dnl The drawback is that the checks cannot be conditionalized. If you write
17 dnl if some_condition; then gl_CHECK_HEADERS(stdlib.h); fi
18 dnl inside an AC_DEFUNed function, the gl_CHECK_HEADERS macro call expands to
19 dnl empty, and the check will be inserted before the body of the AC_DEFUNed
22 dnl Autoconf version 2.57 or newer is recommended.
