[Libunwind-devel] [PATCH] Add AO_REQUIRE_CAS to fix build on ARM < v6


From: Thomas Petazzoni
Subject: [Libunwind-devel] [PATCH] Add AO_REQUIRE_CAS to fix build on ARM < v6
Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 23:48:03 +0200

ARM earlier than ARMv6, such as ARMv4 and ARMv5 do not provide
optimize atomic operations in libatomic_ops. Since libunwind is using
such operations, it should define AO_REQUIRE_CAS before including
<atomic_ops.h> so that libatomic_ops knows it should use emulated
atomic operations instead (even though they are obviously a lot more
expensive).

Also, while real atomic operations are all inline functions and
therefore linking against libatomic_ops was not required, the emulated
atomic operations actually require linking against libatomic_ops, so
the commented AC_CHECK_LIB test in acinclude.m4 is uncommented to make
sure we link against libatomic_ops.
