# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_GCC_OPTION(OPTION,EXTRA-OPTIONS,TEST-PROGRAM,ACTION-IF-SUCCESSFUL,ACTION-IF-NOT-SUCCESFUL)
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   AX_GCC_OPTION checks wheter gcc accepts the passed OPTION. If it accepts
#   the OPTION then ACTION-IF-SUCCESSFUL will be executed, otherwise
#   ACTION-IF-UNSUCCESSFUL.
#
#   NOTE: This macro will be obsoleted by AX_C_CHECK_FLAG AX_CXX_CHECK_FLAG,
#   AX_CPP_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXXCPP_CHECK_FLAG and AX_LD_CHECK_FLAG.
#
#   A typical usage should be the following one:
#
#     AX_GCC_OPTION([-fomit-frame-pointer],[],[],[
#       AC_MSG_NOTICE([The option is supported])],[
#       AC_MSG_NOTICE([No luck this time])
#     ])
#
#   The macro doesn't discriminate between languages so, if you are testing
#   for an option that works for C++ but not for C you should use '-x c++'
#   as EXTRA-OPTIONS:
#
#     AX_GCC_OPTION([-fno-rtti],[-x c++],[],[ ... ],[ ... ])
#
#   OPTION is tested against the following code:
#
#     int main()
#     {
#             return 0;
#     }
#
#   The optional TEST-PROGRAM comes handy when the default main() is not
#   suited for the option being checked
#
#   So, if you need to test for -fstrict-prototypes option you should
#   probably use the macro as follows:
#
#     AX_GCC_OPTION([-fstrict-prototypes],[-x c++],[
#       int main(int argc, char ** argv)
#       {
#       	(void) argc;
#       	(void) argv;
#
#       	return 0;
#       }
#     ],[ ... ],[ ... ])
#
#   Note that the macro compiles but doesn't link the test program so it is
#   not suited for checking options that are passed to the linker, like:
#
#     -Wl,-L<a-library-path>
#
#   In order to avoid such kind of problems you should think about usinguse
#   the AX_*_CHECK_FLAG family macros
