# OBSOLETE MACRO
#
# Deprecated in favor of AX_C_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXX_CHECK_FLAG,
# AX_CPP_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXXCPP_CHECK_FLAG and AX_LD_CHECK_FLAG.
#
# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_GCC_OPTION(OPTION,EXTRA-OPTIONS,TEST-PROGRAM,ACTION-IF-SUCCESSFUL,ACTION-IF-NOT-SUCCESFUL)
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# AX_GCC_OPTION checks wheter gcc accepts the passed OPTION. If it accepts
# the OPTION then ACTION-IF-SUCCESSFUL will be executed, otherwise
# ACTION-IF-UNSUCCESSFUL.
#
# A typical usage should be the following one:
#
# AX_GCC_OPTION([-fomit-frame-pointer],[],[],[
# AC_MSG_NOTICE([The option is supported])],[
# AC_MSG_NOTICE([No luck this time])
# ])
#
# The macro doesn't discriminate between languages so, if you are testing
# for an option that works for C++ but not for C you should use '-x c++'
# as EXTRA-OPTIONS:
#
# AX_GCC_OPTION([-fno-rtti],[-x c++],[],[ ... ],[ ... ])
#
# OPTION is tested against the following code:
#
# int main()
# {
# return 0;
# }
#
# The optional TEST-PROGRAM comes handy when the default main() is not
# suited for the option being checked
#
# So, if you need to test for -fstrict-prototypes option you should
# probably use the macro as follows:
#
# AX_GCC_OPTION([-fstrict-prototypes],[-x c++],[
# int main(int argc, char ** argv)
# {
# (void) argc;
# (void) argv;
#
# return 0;
# }
# ],[ ... ],[ ... ])
#
# Note that the macro compiles but doesn't link the test program so it is
# not suited for checking options that are passed to the linker, like:
#
# -Wl,-L<a-library-path>
#
# In order to avoid such kind of problems you should think about usinguse
# the AX_*_CHECK_FLAG family macros
