11 # Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the C++11
12 # standard; if necessary, add switches to CXXFLAGS to enable support.
14 # The first argument, if specified, indicates whether you insist on an
15 # extended mode (e.g. -std=gnu++11) or a strict conformance mode (e.g.
16 # -std=c++11). If neither is specified, you get whatever works, with
17 # preference for an extended mode.
19 # The second argument, if specified 'mandatory' or if left unspecified,
20 # indicates that baseline C++11 support is required and that the macro
21 # should error out if no mode with that support is found. If specified
22 # 'optional', then configuration proceeds regardless, after defining
23 # HAVE_CXX11 if and only if a supporting mode is found.
