# =========================================================================== # http://www.nongnu.org/autoconf-archive/ax_cflags_no_writable_strings.html # =========================================================================== # # SYNOPSIS # # AX_CFLAGS_NO_WRITABLE_STRINGS [(shellvar [,default, [A/NA]])] # # DESCRIPTION # # Try to find a compiler option that makes all string literals readonly. # # The sanity check is done by looking at string.h which has a set of # strcpy definitions that should be defined with const-modifiers to not # emit a warning in all so many places. # # For the GNU CC compiler it will be -fno-writable-strings -Wwrite-strings # The result is added to the shellvar being CFLAGS by default. # # DEFAULTS: # # - $1 shell-variable-to-add-to : CFLAGS # - $2 add-value-if-not-found : nothing # - $3 action-if-found : add value to shellvariable # - $4 action-if-not-found : nothing # # LICENSE # # Copyright (c) 2008 Guido U.
