9 # gl_ABSOLUTE_HEADER(HEADER1 HEADER2 ...)
10 # ---------------------------------------
11 # Find the absolute name of a header file, testing first if the header exists.
12 # If the header were sys/inttypes.h, this macro would define
13 # ABSOLUTE_SYS_INTTYPES_H to the '""' quoted absolute name of sys/inttypes.h
15 # (e.g. '#define ABSOLUTE_SYS_INTTYPES_H "///usr/include/sys/inttypes.h"').
16 # The three "///" are to pacify Sun C 5.8, which otherwise would say
17 # "warning: #include of /usr/include/... may be non-portable".
18 # Use '""', not '<>', so that the /// cannot be confused with a C99 comment.
19 # Note: This macro assumes that the header file is not empty after
20 # preprocessing, i.e. it does not only define preprocessor macros but also
21 # provides some type/enum definitions or function/variable declarations.

58 dnl AIX "xlc -E" and "cc -E" omit #line directives for header files
59 dnl that contain only a #include of other header files and no
60 dnl non-comment tokens of their own. This leads to a failure to
61 dnl detect the absolute name of <dirent.h>, <signal.h>, <poll.h>
