# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_CHECK_VSCRIPT
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Check whether the linker supports version scripts.  Version scripts are
#   used when building shared libraries to bind symbols to version nodes
#   (helping to detect incompatibilities) or to limit the visibility of
#   non-public symbols.
#
#   Output:
#
#   If version scripts are supported, VSCRIPT_LDFLAGS will contain the
#   appropriate flag to pass to the linker.  On GNU systems this would
#   typically be "-Wl,--version-script", and on Solaris it would typically
#   be "-Wl,-M".
#
#   Two Automake conditionals are also set:
#
#    HAVE_VSCRIPT is true if the linker supports version scripts with
#    entries that use simple wildcards, like "local: *".
#
#    HAVE_VSCRIPT_COMPLEX is true if the linker supports version scripts with
#    pattern matching wildcards, like "global: Java_*".
#
#   On systems that do not support symbol versioning, such as Mac OS X, both
#   conditionals will be false.  They will also be false if the user passes
#   "--disable-symvers" on the configure command line.
#
#   Example:
#
#    configure.ac:
#
#     AX_CHECK_VSCRIPT
#
#    Makefile.am:
#
#     if HAVE_VSCRIPT
#     libfoo_la_LDFLAGS += $(VSCRIPT_LDFLAGS),@srcdir@/libfoo.map
#     endif
#
#     if HAVE_VSCRIPT_COMPLEX
#     libbar_la_LDFLAGS += $(VSCRIPT_LDFLAGS),@srcdir@/libbar.map
#     endif
