8.12 Unified Parallel C Support

Automake includes some support for Unified Parallel C.

Any package including Unified Parallel C code must define the output variable UPC in configure.ac; the simplest way to do this is to use the AM_PROG_UPC macro (see Public Macros).

A few additional variables are defined when a Unified Parallel C source file is seen:

UPC

The name of the Unified Parallel C compiler.

UPCFLAGS

Any flags to pass to the Unified Parallel C compiler.

AM_UPCFLAGS

The maintainer's variant of UPCFLAGS.

UPCCOMPILE

The command used to actually compile a Unified Parallel C source file. The file name is appended to form the complete command line.

UPCLINK

The command used to actually link a Unified Parallel C program.
