# -----------------------------
# We selectively extract stuff from $Config{ccflags}.  For debugging purposes,
# let's have the configure output report the raw ccflags value as well as the
# set of flags we chose to adopt.  We don't really need anything except -D
# switches, and other sorts of compiler switches can actively break things if
# Perl was compiled with a different compiler.  Moreover, although Perl likes
# to put stuff like -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 here, it
# would be fatal to try to compile PL/Perl to a different libc ABI than core
# Postgres uses.  The available information says that most symbols that affect
# Perl's own ABI begin with letters, so it's almost sufficient to adopt -D
# switches for symbols not beginning with underscore.  Some exceptions are the
# Windows-specific -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T and -D__MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT; see
# Mkvcbuild.pm for details.  We absorb the former when Perl reports it.  Perl
# never reports the latter, and we don't attempt to deduce when it's needed.
# Consequently, we don't support using MinGW to link to MSVC-built Perl.  As
# of 2017, all supported ActivePerl and Strawberry Perl are MinGW-built.  If
# that changes or an MSVC-built Perl distribution becomes prominent, we can
# revisit this limitation.
