From e919ebb29ac9f5270cd7176a39d0d3b4cea875a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia Tan Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2023 20:35:16 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Build: Conditionally allow win95 threads and --enable-small. When the compiler supports __attribute__((__constructor__)) mythread_once() is never used, even with --enable-small. A configuration with win95 threads and --enable-small will compile and be thread safe so it can be allowed. This isn't a very common configuration since MSVC does not support __attribute__((__constructor__)), but MINGW32 and CLANG32 environments for MSYS2 can use win95 threads and have __attribute__((__constructor__)) support. --- configure.ac | 21 +++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 72021882..45c74776 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -437,14 +437,6 @@ case $enable_threads in ;; esac -# The Win95 threading lacks thread-safe one-time initialization function. -# It's better to disallow it instead of allowing threaded but thread-unsafe -# build. -if test "x$enable_small$enable_threads" = xyeswin95; then - AC_MSG_ERROR([--enable-threads=win95 and --enable-small cannot be - used at the same time]) -fi - # We use the actual result a little later. @@ -862,6 +854,19 @@ AC_COMPILE_IFELSE([ CFLAGS="$OLD_CFLAGS" +# The Win95 threading lacks a thread-safe one-time initialization function. +# The one-time initialization is needed for crc32_small.c and crc64_small.c +# create the CRC tables.
