mkc_check_decl - Man Page

checks for define, variable, function, type, member or function prototype.

Synopsis

mkc_check_decl [Options] <check_type> <what> [headers...]

Description

check_type is either define, variable, func[0-9], funcordefine[0-9], type, member or prototype. Depending on its value mkc_check_decl checks respectively for define, variable, function with the specified number of arguments (or equivalent define in case of funcordefine[0-9]), data type, member of structure or a function prototype in the specified headers by compiling a test program. headers is either a single header file or a list of headers, separated by comma. As a result mkc_check_decl prints either 1 (success) or 0 (failure) to stdout. By default, temporary and cache files _mkc_<check_type>_<what>_<lheader_h>.{c,err,res} are created under MKC_CACHEDIR directory. Here, lheader_h is the last header from comma-separated list headers.

Environment

CC

Compiler. By default cc is used.

CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS

Options passed to the compiler, for example -I for additional directories that contain header files.

MKC_VERBOSE

If set to 1, verbose messages are output to stderr.

MKC_SHOW_CACHED

If set to 1 and MKC_VERBOSE is set to 1, cached results are output to stderr.

MKC_COMMON_HEADERS

List of header files to add to .c test program.

MKC_CACHEDIR

Directory where temporary and cache files are created. If unset they are created in a current directory.

MKC_NOCACHE

All results are cached unless MKC_NOCACHE variable is set to 1.

MKC_DELETE_TMPFILES

If set to 1, temporary files are removed.
