6 dnl Macro for checking if the compiler supports __attribute__
8 dnl Usage: AC_C___ATTRIBUTE__
9 dnl call AC_DEFINE for HAVE___ATTRIBUTE__ and __UNUSED__
10 dnl if the compiler supports __attribute__, HAVE___ATTRIBUTE__ is
11 dnl defined to 1 and __UNUSED__ is defined to __attribute__((unused))
12 dnl otherwise, HAVE___ATTRIBUTE__ is not defined and __UNUSED__ is
13 dnl defined to nothing.
15 AC_DEFUN([AC_C___ATTRIBUTE__],
18 AC_MSG_CHECKING([for __attribute__])
20 AC_CACHE_VAL([ac_cv___attribute__],
26 int foo(int x __attribute__ ((unused)))
32 [ac_cv___attribute__="yes"],
33 [ac_cv___attribute__="no"]
36 AC_MSG_RESULT($ac_cv___attribute__)
38 if test "x${ac_cv___attribute__}" = "xyes" ; then
39 AC_DEFINE([HAVE___ATTRIBUTE__], [1], [Define to 1 if your compiler has __attribute__])
40 AC_DEFINE([__UNUSED__], [__attribute__((unused))], [Macro declaring a function argument to be unused])
42 AC_DEFINE([__UNUSED__], [], [Macro declaring a function argument to be unused])
