# ac_check_cc_opt

## Synopsis

`AC_CHECK_CC_OPT(flag, cachevarname)`

## Version

1.1.1.1 (2001/07/26) C_Support @ ac-archive-0.5.32

## Author

## Description

AC_CHECK_CC_OPT(-fvomit-frame,vomitframe) would show a message as like "checking wether gcc accepts -fvomit-frame ... no" and sets the shell-variable $vomitframe to either "-fvomit-frame" or (in this case) just a simple "". In many cases you would then call AC_SUBST(_fvomit_frame_,$vomitframe) to create a substitution that could be fed as "CFLAGS = @_funsigned_char_@ @_fvomit_frame_@

in consequence this function is much more general than their specific counterparts like ac_cxx_rtti.m4 that will test for -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions
