# onceonly.m4 serial 4 (gettext-0.15) dnl Copyright (C) 2002-2003, 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. dnl This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation dnl gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, dnl with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved. dnl This file defines some "once only" variants of standard autoconf macros. dnl AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_HEADERS dnl AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_FUNCS dnl AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE like AC_CHECK_DECLS dnl AC_REQUIRE([AC_HEADER_STDC]) like AC_HEADER_STDC dnl The advantage is that the check for each of the headers/functions/decls dnl will be put only once into the 'configure' file. It keeps the size of dnl the 'configure' file down, and avoids redundant output when 'configure' dnl is run. dnl The drawback is that the checks cannot be conditionalized. If you write dnl if some_condition; then gl_CHECK_HEADERS(stdlib.h); fi dnl inside an AC_DEFUNed function, the gl_CHECK_HEADERS macro call expands to dnl empty, and the check will be inserted before the body of the AC_DEFUNed dnl function. dnl This file is only needed in autoconf <= 2.59. Newer versions of autoconf dnl have this macro built-in. But about AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE: note that in dnl autoconf >= 2.60 the symbol separator is a comma, whereas here it is dnl whitespace. dnl Autoconf version 2.57 or newer is recommended.
