Hi Sam, > you say you want to cache just once. > fine, remove AC_CACHE_CHECK.
Yes, I removed the AC_CACHE_CHECK invocations and then found that there was no good reason any more to keep the CL_CACHE_EGREP_CPP and CL_SET_CPU_ABI macros. > I have > dnl CL_CACHE_EGREP_CPP(what,variable,condition) > dnl CL_SET_CPU_ABI(what,variable,condition,yes_abi,no_abi) > which make the code much more readable. It apparently depends for whom the code should be readable. I find that without these macros, anyone fluent with the AC_EGREP_CPP from Autoconf can easily read the code, and the question "what are the possible assignments to the gl_cv_host_cpu_c_abi variable" can be answered by a plain string search. So, except for code style, you are fine with that proposed module? Bruno
