In a build environment I am creating using Automake 1.7.9 & CVS libtool, GCC (gcc & g++) are used as the normal compiler. However, sometimes developers want to substitute 'insure' as the compiler in order to do memory leak checking. My understanding is that 'insure' runs the tested gcc or g++ under the covers so from libtool's perspective, there should be no change.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to simply substitute one compiler name for another since libtool uses the compiler name to determine the tag. It turns out that adding --tag=CC for C, and --tag=CXX for C++, is sufficient to cause libtool to accept the new compiler name using an existing tagged configuration. Does anyone have some experience they can share with accomplishing this in an Automake-based environment? It would be useful if Automake would detect libtool 1.5 or greater and automatically supply the correct --tag option at the correct points.
