gcc -pthread should define _REENTRANT?
Hi,
I need some advice: how should one detect that the "-pthread"
flag has been used? Boost looks for one of the two preprocessor
symbols to be defined:
_REENTRANT
_PTHREADS
That strategy seems to work for 6 of 11 architectures. However, boost
fails to build on: alpha, s390, ia64, hppa, and arm. On the
architectures for which I could find a sid chroot, I verified that
_REENTRANT is not defined (gcc -x c /dev/null -E -dM -pthread | grep REENT)
Do these architectures support pthreads or not? If so, do they define
a magic preprocessor symbol?
Thanks,
-Steve
