[PATCH 1/2] gdb: Import AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from the GNU Autoconf Archive

Pedro Alves
2016-10-27T19:21:48Z

This macro throws C++11 code at the compiler in order to check whether
it supports C++11. final/override, rvalue references, static_assert,
decltype, auto, constexpr, etc., and adds -std=gnu++11 to CXX if necessary.

Nothing uses the macro yet. Simply adding it as separate preliminary step because
we'll need local changes.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX(VERSION, [ext|noext], [mandatory|optional])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the specified
+# version of the C++ standard. If necessary, add switches to CXX and
+# CXXCPP to enable support. VERSION may be '11' (for the C++11 standard)
+# or '14' (for the C++14 standard).
+#
+# The second argument, if specified, indicates whether you insist on an
+# extended mode (e.g. -std=gnu++11) or a strict conformance mode (e.g.
+# -std=c++11). If neither is specified, you get whatever works, with
+# preference for an extended mode.
+#
+# The third argument, if specified 'mandatory' or if left unspecified,
+# indicates that baseline support for the specified C++ standard is
+# required and that the macro should error out if no mode with that
+# support is found. If specified 'optional', then configuration proceeds
+# regardless, after defining HAVE_CXX${VERSION} if and only if a
+# supporting mode is found.
