To check for a syntax feature of the C, C++ or Fortran 77 compiler, such
as whether it recognizes a certain keyword, use AC_TRY_COMPILE
to
try to compile a small program that uses that feature. You can also use
it to check for structures and structure members that are not present on
all systems.
For C and C++, includes is any #include
statements needed
by the code in function-body (includes will be ignored if
the currently selected language is Fortran 77). This macro also uses
CFLAGS
or CXXFLAGS
if either C or C++ is the currently
selected language, as well as CPPFLAGS
, when compiling. If
Fortran 77 is the currently selected language then FFLAGS
will be
used when compiling.
If the file compiles successfully, run shell commands action-if-found, otherwise run action-if-not-found.
This macro does not try to link; use AC_TRY_LINK
if you need to
do that (see section Examining Libraries).
