# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Determines whether weak aliases are supported on the system, and if so,
#   what scheme is used to declare them. Also checks to see if aliases can
#   cross object file boundaries, as some systems don't permit them to.
#
#   Most systems permit something called a "weak alias" or "weak symbol."
#   These aliases permit a library to provide a stub form of a routine
#   defined in another library, thus allowing the first library to operate
#   even if the other library is not linked. This macro will check for
#   support of weak aliases, figure out what schemes are available, and
#   determine some characteristics of the weak alias support -- primarily,
#   whether a weak alias declared in one object file may be referenced from
#   another object file.
#
#   There are four known schemes of declaring weak symbols; each scheme is
#   checked in turn, and the first one found is preferred. Note that only one
#   of the mentioned preprocessor macros will be defined!
#
#   1. Function attributes
#
#   This scheme was first introduced by the GNU C compiler, and attaches
#   attributes to particular functions. It is among the easiest to use, and
#   so is the first one checked. If this scheme is detected, the
#   preprocessor macro HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_ATTRIBUTE will be defined to 1.
#   This scheme is used as in the following code fragment:
#
#     void __weakf(int c)
#     {
#       /* Function definition... */
#     }
#
#     void weakf(int c) __attribute__((weak, alias("__weakf")));
#
#   2. #pragma weak
#
#   This scheme is in use by many compilers other than the GNU C compiler.
#   It is also particularly easy to use, and fairly portable -- well, as
#   portable as these things get. If this scheme is detected first, the
#   preprocessor macro HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_PRAGMA will be defined to 1. This
#   scheme is used as in the following code fragment:
#
#     extern void weakf(int c);
#     #pragma weak weakf = __weakf
#     void __weakf(int c)
#     {
#       /* Function definition... */
#     }
#
#   3. #pragma _HP_SECONDARY_DEF
#
#   This scheme appears to be in use by the HP compiler. As it is rather
#   specialized, this is one of the last schemes checked. If it is the first
#   one detected, the preprocessor macro HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_HPSECONDARY
#   will be defined to 1. This scheme is used as in the following code
#   fragment:
#
#     extern void weakf(int c);
#     #pragma _HP_SECONDARY_DEF __weakf weakf
#     void __weakf(int c)
#     {
#       /* Function definition... */
#     }
#
#   4. #pragma _CRI duplicate
#
#   This scheme appears to be in use by the Cray compiler. As it is rather
#   specialized, it too is one of the last schemes checked. If it is the
#   first one detected, the preprocessor macro
#   HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_CRIDUPLICATE will be defined to 1. This scheme is
#   used as in the following code fragment:
#
#     extern void weakf(int c);
#     #pragma _CRI duplicate weakf as __weakf
#     void __weakf(int c)
#     {
#       /* Function definition... */
#     }
#
#   In addition to the preprocessor macros listed above, if any scheme is
#   found, the preprocessor macro HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS will also be defined
#   to 1.
#
#   Once a weak aliasing scheme has been found, a check will be performed to
#   see if weak aliases are honored across object file boundaries. If they
#   are, the HAVE_SYS_WEAK_ALIAS_CROSSFILE preprocessor macro is defined to
#   1.
#
#   This Autoconf macro also makes two substitutions. The first, WEAK_ALIAS,
#   contains the name of the scheme found (one of "attribute", "pragma",
#   "hpsecondary", or "criduplicate"), or "no" if no weak aliasing scheme
#   was found. The second, WEAK_ALIAS_CROSSFILE, is set to "yes" or "no"
#   depending on whether or not weak aliases may cross object file
#   boundaries.
