Hi Paul,
In a configure output I see:
checking for -I/Users/runner/include -I/usr/local/opt/libiconv/include -Wall
-DCONTINUE_AFTER_ASSERT option for large files... none needed
checking for -I/Users/runner/include -I/usr/local/opt/libiconv/include -Wall
-DCONTINUE_AFTER_ASSERT option for timestamps after 2038... none needed
It comes from largefile.m4:
AC_CACHE_CHECK([for $CPPFLAGS option for large files],
and
AC_CACHE_CHECK([for $CPPFLAGS option for timestamps after 2038],
Printing the CPPFLAGS makes no sense to me. I understand that for
some configure tests, we write
checking for gcc option ... ...
but since in this case the options are independent of the compiler
and even independent of C vs. C++ mode, it would be adequate to print
checking for compiler option for large files... none needed
checking for compiler option for timestamps after 2038... none needed
Right?
Also, as mentioned in [1], I find the wording
option to enable large file support
more understandable than
option for large files
