[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/2] configure: refactor RDC_PROG_{CC, CXX}_FLAGS with AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS

Some of the issues with the former marcos being they
silently fail adding the flags on warnings whereas
the latter doesn't and prints the warnings out to
stdout, better safeguards and portability.

+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS([FLAG1 FLAG2 ...], [FLAGS-VARIABLE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   For every FLAG1, FLAG2 it is checked whether the compiler works with the
+#   flag.  If it does, the flag is added FLAGS-VARIABLE
+#
+#   If FLAGS-VARIABLE is not specified, the current language's flags (e.g.
+#   CFLAGS) is used.  During the check the flag is always added to the
+#   current language's flags.
+#
+#   If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the current language's default
+#   flags (e.g. CFLAGS) when the check is done.  The check is thus made with
+#   the flags: "CFLAGS EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG".  This can for example be used to
+#   force the compiler to issue an error when a bad flag is given.
+#
+#   INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
+#
+#   NOTE: This macro depends on the AX_APPEND_FLAG and
+#   AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG. Please keep this macro in sync with
+#   AX_APPEND_LINK_FLAGS.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_APPEND_FLAG(FLAG, [FLAGS-VARIABLE])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   FLAG is appended to the FLAGS-VARIABLE shell variable, with a space
+#   added in between.
+#
+#   If FLAGS-VARIABLE is not specified, the current language's flags (e.g.
+#   CFLAGS) is used.  FLAGS-VARIABLE is not changed if it already contains
+#   FLAG.  If FLAGS-VARIABLE is unset in the shell, it is set to exactly
+#   FLAG.
+#
+#   NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION.

+#   AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(FLAG, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])

+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check whether the given FLAG works with the current language's compiler
+#   or gives an error.  (Warnings, however, are ignored)
+#
+#   ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED(MACRO)
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED is a simple helper for making sure other macros have
+#   been defined and thus are available for use.  This avoids random issues
+#   where a macro isn't expanded.  Instead the configure script emits a
+#   non-fatal:
+#
+#     ./configure: line 1673: AX_CFLAGS_WARN_ALL: command not found
+#
+#   It's like AC_REQUIRE except it doesn't expand the required macro.
+#
+#   Here's an example:
+#
+#     AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED([AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG])
