#
# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_CC_MAXOPT
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Try to turn on "good" C optimization flags for various compilers and
# architectures, for some definition of "good". (In our case, good for
# FFTW and hopefully for other scientific codes. Modify as needed.)
#
# The user can override the flags by setting the CFLAGS environment
# variable. The user can also specify --enable-portable-binary in order to
# disable any optimization flags that might result in a binary that only
# runs on the host architecture.
#
# Note also that the flags assume that ANSI C aliasing rules are followed
# by the code (e.g. for gcc's -fstrict-aliasing), and that floating-point
# computations can be re-ordered as needed.
#
# Requires macros: AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG, AX_COMPILER_VENDOR,
# AX_GCC_ARCHFLAG, AX_GCC_X86_CPUID.
