Hi list

I want to use the --no-undefined linker argument through the
-Wl,--no-undefined CXXFLAGS. This is only supported by gcc but has a
clang alternative: -Wl,-undefined,error.
I have tried writing a test in my configure.ac script to figure out
which one should be used, but my test reports 'yes' on both gcc and
clang, so clang never falls back to it's own variant.
My test looks like this:

dnl ===========================
dnl Check for -Wl,--no-undefined or -Wl,-undefined,error support
dnl ===========================
AC_LANG_PUSH([C++])
TMP_CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS"
AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether CXX supports '-Wl,--no-undefined'])
CXXFLAGS="-Wall -Werror -Wl,--no-undefined"
AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([])],
    [ AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])
        NO_UNDEFINED_PARAM=-Wl,--no-undefined
    ],
    [ AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
        AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether CXX supports '-Wl,-undefined,error'])
        CXXFLAGS="-Wall -Werror -Wl,-undefined,error"
        AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([])],
            [AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])
                NO_UNDEFINED_PARAM=-Wl,-undefined,error
            ],
            [AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
                NO_UNDEFINED_PARAM=""
            ]
        )
    ]
)
CXXFLAGS="$TMP_CXXFLAGS"
AC_LANG_POP([C++])

Any input to what I might be doing wrong?


I found out that I needed to use AC_COMPILE_IFELSE instead of AC_LINK_IFELSE because test need to be done through the compiler in order to use the -Wall and -Werror and thereby result in the error the way I the test needs it to.

Kind regards
