A Proposed Fix for autoconf-Style Configuration Probing
Original: How to Fix autoconf-style Configuration Probing
The build2 project has published a blog post outlining how to fix autoconf-style configuration probing, the long-standing technique used by build systems to detect compiler and library features at build time. The piece argues current probing approaches are fragile and proposes an alternative, drawing commentary from developers on build tooling and portability.
Why now: Build systems and configuration tooling are a recurring topic of debate among developers, and any proposed fix to the widely used autoconf approach draws attention.
