13 # Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the specified
14 # version of the C++ standard. If necessary, add switches to CXX and
15 # CXXCPP to enable support. VERSION may be '11', '14', '17', or '20' for
16 # the respective C++ standard version.
18 # The second argument, if specified, indicates whether you insist on an
19 # extended mode (e.g. -std=gnu++11) or a strict conformance mode (e.g.
20 # -std=c++11). If neither is specified, you get whatever works, with
21 # preference for no added switch, and then for an extended mode.
23 # The third argument, if specified 'mandatory' or if left unspecified,
24 # indicates that baseline support for the specified C++ standard is
25 # required and that the macro should error out if no mode with that
26 # support is found. If specified 'optional', then configuration proceeds
27 # regardless, after defining HAVE_CXX${VERSION} if and only if a
28 # supporting mode is found.
