# PGAC_CHECK_PERL_EMBED_CCFLAGS
# -----------------------------
# We selectively extract stuff from $Config{ccflags}.  For debugging purposes,
# let's have the configure output report the raw ccflags value as well as the
# set of flags we chose to adopt.  We don't really need anything except -D
# switches, and other sorts of compiler switches can actively break things if
# Perl was compiled with a different compiler.  Moreover, although Perl likes
# to put stuff like -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 here, it
# would be fatal to try to compile PL/Perl to a different libc ABI than core
# Postgres uses.  The available information says that most symbols that affect
# Perl's own ABI begin with letters, so it's almost sufficient to adopt -D
# switches for symbols not beginning with underscore.

# Some exceptions are the Windows-specific -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T and
# -D__MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT. To be exact, Windows offers several 32-bit ABIs.
# Perl is sensitive to sizeof(time_t), one of the ABI dimensions.  PostgreSQL
# doesn't support building with pre-MSVC-2005 compilers, but it does support
# linking to Perl built with such a compiler.  MSVC-built Perl 5.13.4 and
# later report -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T in $Config{ccflags} if applicable, but
# MinGW-built Perl never reports -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T despite typically needing
# it.
#
# Consequently, we don't support using MinGW to link to MSVC-built Perl.  As
# of 2017, all supported ActivePerl and Strawberry Perl are MinGW-built.  If
# that changes or an MSVC-built Perl distribution becomes prominent, we can
# revisit this limitation.
